With his third book, Too Much Tuscan Wine, Dario Castagno decants another spellbinding volume about life in a place where the everyday can still be infused with magic and marvel. It follows up 2007’s A Day In Tuscany, and his first book, Too Much Tuscan Sun – Confessions Of A Chianti Tour Guide (2004). The New York Times called that popular title, “an “engaging jaunt into the Italian countryside.” Publisher’s Weekly deemed it, “Brain candy to be enjoyed with a bottle of red.” A case of red is in order for Too Much Tuscan Wine, which celebrates the region’s viniculture and those who joyously imbibe it. Vintage Castagno, the memoir is a heady flow of real-life adventures in which copious amounts of “vino rosso” propel the narrative, which begins when he is contacted by “Mia Lane,” an American editor who proposes that he write a book about Tuscan wine. As the manuscript develops, so does the depth of feelings expressed in Dario and Mia’s e-mail correspondence. Part muse, part mystery women, she captures his imagination and eventually his soul when her true identity is revealed. Castagno’s latest overflows with humor, reverie, romance, adventure and a heartfelt toast to Tuscany, where more than the landscape is lush! Each copy of the book can be signed by the author—personally inscribed—upon request with your order. Dario Castagno lives in the Chianti hill town of Vagliagli. Though purely “Chiantigiano,” he was born in London to Italian parents who were exporting fine Italian wines & spirits to England. Castagno returned to Tuscany at age nine, and embarked on an exploration of the region that forms the heart of his writing. He is also a member of Siena’s Bruco (Caterpillar) contrada and an aficionado of the Palio. In addition to writing, Castagno produces Organic Rasna Extra Virgin Olive, hand-picked & bottled in Central Tuscany (), is involved in sundry film/DVD projects, and meets travelers in Tuscany.
