Gylne dager og dype viner

The journey goes from one vineyard to the next and from wine tasting to wine tasting, of red wines from Valpolicella, including specialities such as Ripasso and Amarone, and of white wines from Soave, not to mention sparkling Prosecco.

You are pulled along, from one adversity to another, and fromone splendid meal to another, through the climbing vines and vineyards of the Italian landscape. You listen to lively dinner table talk, to chat in the kitchen and in the car while travelling from place to place. And, between the smiles and the laughter, you are given vivid insights into the fantastic food and wine culture of the Veneto.

While Klaus Hagerup’s traveller’s tales are personal and full of fun, the factual notes by Bibbi Børresen provide the reader with knowledge about some of the region’s wines and vineyards – and about traditional Italian cooking.

For those whose taste-buds truly tingle when reading, the recipes of the dishes mentioned in the text, are also included in the book.
