Gambero Rosso - wine and restaurant guide for Italy

Although the wine world immediately thinks of the wine guide established in 1988, as soon as Gambero Rosso is mentioned, it is a publishing house. Actually, it is the book Vini d'Italia, which year after year provides information about the best wines from Italy. In addition, there is a restaurant guide from the Gambero Rosso publishing house, which promises no less delicacies from Italian hands. However, the significance of the book Vini d'Italia is so enormous that Gambero Rosso has established itself as a synonym for the annually published book.
