Maps from Alessandro Masnaghetti

SHOP VITICULTURAL MAPS

Prior to 2008, wine lovers could only dream of having maps to guide them through the complex web of vineyards in Barolo, Barbaresco and Tuscany. Such maps didn't exist. But thanks to the tireless work of Alessandro Masnaghetti, publisher of the respected Italian wine journal Enogea, we now have a series of breathtakingly detailed maps to guide and inform us. They are not only a breakthrough in Italian cartography, they are a god-send for lovers of Italian wine.

Alessandro's work has also expanded into Bordeaux which, incredibly, had never been fully mapped to reveal the actual location of each chateau's vineyards. His work here promises to revolutionize our understanding of the great Chateaux of Bordeaux in the same way that he has deepened our knowledge of the great vineyards of Barolo and Barbaresco.
