Italys Best Wines Gambero Rossos Tre Bicchieri Awards for 2.

It is the go to reference book for anyone seriously interested in Italian wins. It is a serious, no nonsense, focused guide to Italian wines.

Also, whereas most wine reviewers utilize numerical scores or points in evaluating wines, Vini dItalia assigns either one, two or three glasses bicchieri in Italian. One glass indicates a good wine, while two glasses indicates a very good wine while three glasses tre bicchieri, the top rating, is reserved for wines that are extraordinary.
