The newest addition to the largest print lifestyle and food and wine magazine in German-speaking countries, key markets for Italian wine - with a circulation of 142,000, as well as a wine and food portal with the largest circulation in Austria - attempts to sketch the diverse Italian wine scene.
From the white wines of Alto Adige to Tuscany’s Brunello di Montalcino, via Barolo, there are more than 400 Italian wineries recognized as the best, with 2,300 wines in its 580 pages. A careful selection, dedicated to all wine lovers and connoisseurs of the Italian wine world. Othmar Kiem, Falstaff Italy editor-in-chief, and Simon Staffler, Falstaff Italy editor and tasting manager, together with their team, present the result of months of individual evaluations that led to and enabled the realization of this project.
