A work that invites reflection
In the words of Pedro Ballesteros “This book is the result of what I like most about wine: thinking about it. Try to understand it beyond its natural and cellar conditions, and find out the why. Nothing is fixed in wine. Science and technology reduce natural limitations, fashions give advantage to new areas and politics sets the framework in which it will be marketed.
The book also makes a review of the varieties of Spanish wines, Pedro Ballesteros wanted to share a practical and contextual vision of the wide varieties that he knows. Wherever there are Spanish varieties with international relevance, the author has spoken of their role in other countries.
With a foreword by Álvaro Palacios, it is a book with broadening perspectives in which Palacios wants to highlight “The meanings and links of those who change the perception and fixate on knowing. Above all, it gives something much needed to the wine world. It gives structural explanations to our contradictory and difficult history as a country of wine ”.
