Italy produces excellent wine at amazing prices; however finding that perfect bottle can sometimes be tricky, even for the most knowledgeable connoisseur.  Italy has many indigenous grape varietals that are not always widely available outside of the country (Aglianico, Nero D’Avola, Greco, Pigato, etc) and each region has its own distinct offerings.

Our Approach Guide to Italian Wine invites you to explore Italian wines by helping you quickly and easily choose the best wines at the best prices.

Rather than just tell you what specific bottle of wine to purchase, we give you an approach to finding the best wine based on your own preferences. Because our focus is on value, we first highlight the regions where you are most likely to find quality wine at good prices and then give you a list of the best grapes from each wine category (white, red, etc.). From there, you can easily scan a wine list or the shelves of a store and select a wine with confidence.

Approach Guides Wine: iPhone App.  With so many wines available, how do you choose? Approach Guides Wine is the first app that provides a strategy for choosing wines, rather than relying on specific bottle reviews.  By focusing on what is most important when picking wines (regions, appellations, grape, and vintages), you will navigate any wine list with ease and choose with confidence. It’s like having a sommelier right in your pocket.  While it works great at home, this guide makes for a great travel companion, informing you of the best local wines for each location you plan on visiting (best of all: since it never requires an internet connection, you don’t have to worry about expensive data roaming charges).

All Approach Guides are offered as PDF files that can be downloaded and printed immediately after purchase.
