TO KNOW ITALIAN ADVANCED WINES This publication lists only high quality wines, that emerge from the average. The judgment and the presentation are by the producer with the exception of what happens generally, where the author marks the products according to their appraisals of merit. Since I think that the best judge of a wine is the producer, who follows its evolution from the vine to the bottle, until reaching the consumer, I do not intend to classify the wine with stars of quality according to my judgement. In fact only the producer, the cellar man or the vine grower can evaluate a fine wine, with qualities and defects in the minimal shadings. This is the only wine, born, grown and matured in a farm, subordinated to repeated assays before being put in sale. A wine is like a son you observe, you study and love. It must be always the best one, second to none.                                                                 Alfreda Console Bonacina This work had been conceived from my husband, Gianni Bonacina, writer and author of numerous enological and gastronomical books. After two years from its dead, I resume its notes and recovery its ideas. I hope that this job can be appreciated from his old friends and from the young wine operators.
