Riassunto

This is the most complete guide to the wines and vineyards of Germany that has ever been published. Almost a decade has passed since The Wine Atlas of Germany first appeared and during that period there has been a dramatic revival of interest in German wine. That decade has seen significant changes in many of the names of the most influential winemakers, principally due to the remarkable achievements of a new generation who are determined to rebuild the reputation of the once-celebrated wines of Germany.
This new wine atlas is the key to enjoying German wine in all its staggering diversity. More than anywhere else in the world this diversity is the result of geological and microclimatic factors which these newly commissioned maps bring to life. In the absence of an official classification of the vineyards into quality bands, the best vineyards are clearly indicated on the maps. This is a refinement of the vineyard classification launched in 1994 in The World Atlas of Wine - a classification that is not recognised by the German government but which, in all reality, it cannot ignore.
The Wine Atlas of Germany is a true travelling companion for visits to the wine regions. It recommends hotels and restaurants in or around the vineyards and describes wonderful old towns and villages, castles and cathedrals and many other interesting features along the wine route.
