GOLD IN THE VINEYARDS
Subtitle
Illustrated stories of the world's most celebrated vineyards
Laura Catena
Description
Description
Informed by wine insider and fourth generation vintner Dr. Laura Catena,
Gold in the Vineyards
highlights the true stories of love, family, betrayal and war at the origin of twelve of the New and Old World’s most famous vineyards. Detailed maps, infographics and stylish illustrations allow the reader to journey through wine history and into the details of vineyard soil and climate - what winemakers call terroir – in order to understand what is at the birth of any great wine. Organized by country and producer, each chapter tells the story of a wine and finishes with maps of the region, vineyard, and illustrated factoids about the wine’s rise to fame. It also won the prestigious 2020 Gourmand Award for Best in the World Wine History Book.
Start off meeting the Rothschild family, prisoners of war and world-famous bankers behind the “First of Firsts,” Château Lafite Rothschild. Learn why a bottle of the 1787 vintage was sold for $160,000 US dollars or why the Maréchal de Richelieu was convinced that drinking Château Lafite was the secret to eternal youth.
Head down to Italy to meet the Antinori family, for the first time, under female leadership since making wine for 26 generations. Learn about the connection between the Antinoris and the Medicis, through the story of the murderous Pietro de Medici.
Learn about the French wine classification system and Château d’Yquem, the only
Premier Cru Superieur
, a wine made from what the French call
pourriture noble
or noble rot, and whose grapes are harvested only by women.
Travel to Spain to meet María José Lépez de Heredia of Viña Tondonia, whose family is known for ageing their wine in barrel for 10-20 years, longer than most, and for refusing to adopt new technologies in their vineyards and winery.
Get introduced to Bill Harlan, an adventurer and real estate mogul mentored by Robert Mondavi, who has a 200-year plan to make a
Grand Cru
and create a European-style wine dynasty in America.
Travel back to the 18th Century and witness the fight between a Prince and a Marquise, for the ownership of the exquisite Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. Meet current owner Aubert de Villaine, who spearheaded the effort to turn the Burgundy wine region into a World Heritage Site.
Hike the hills of the Mosel in Germany, and understand why its slate soils yield some of the most age-worthy wines in the world from the Riesling variety, born in the Middle Ages.
Understand biodynamic winemaking through the eyes of the late Anne-Claude Leflaive, who inspired generations of winemakers around the world to stop using pesticides in their vineyards.
Experience the magic from the old vines of the Henschke family, who fled religious persecution in Prussia, and founded Australia’s most celebrated vineyard, Hill of Grace.
Defy the norms with rule-breaking Italian winemaker Angelo Gaja and his daughter Gaia Gaja, known for bringing about the renaissance of Italy’s Barolo region and the Nebbiolo variety.
Dive into the dream of a farmer boy Etienne Guigal, who grew up wanting to make wine as a child, and through hard work and fanatical devotion to winemaking created one of France’s most collected wines in the Rhône Valley’s terraced vineyards.
Finish with the story of Dr. Laura Catena’s family, Italian immigrants to Argentina, who discovered a magical new place for wine at high altitude in the Andes mountains, and made the Malbec variety famous around the world.
