The history, places, and people behind the legend
Con la traduzione di Jeremy Parzen

Spanning more than 1,000 years, Stefano Cinelli Colombini’s book is devoted to the dramatis personae that made Brunello di Montalcino what is today. Telling the stories behind its successes and failures, he brings to life the history and wonders of this legendary wine and the memories and anecdotes of the people who made it into an international phenomenon. Many of the images reproduced in Portraits from Memory come from the Colombini Cinelli family’s personal archives. Together, they offer the reader a portrait of a uniquely vibrant community whose creativity and determination gave the world the “king of wines.”
