Mediterranean Wines of Place: A Celebration of Heritage Grapes

by Al Leonard

Travel globally sip locally!
- At that rustic taverna in Athens, don't order Chardonnay with your moussaka, try it with a bottle of Malagousia.
- Dining by the Galata Bridge in Istanbul? Forgo the Merlot and pair those kebabs with a crisp Kalecik Karasi —The Hittites did it over 3000 years ago!
- In Taormina, the waiters on the Corso Umberto will gladly serve you Pinot Grigio, but watch their reaction when you order a glass of local Carricante, grown just over their shoulder on the eastern face of Mount Etna.
In Mediterranean Wines of Place, Al Leonard, a Professor of Classical Archaeology and wine aficionado, pairs his love of the Mediterranean World with wines that are crafted from the heritage grapes that have been so much a part of its history.
This locavore's guide to Mediterranean wines provides a historical introduction to more than sixty heirloom grapes and the wines they produce. Places visited include mainland Greece and the Greek islands, Cyprus, Turkey, Italy, Croatia, Spain, and Malta.
