Slow Wine takes a new and innovative approach to reviewing & recommending wines, taking into account wine quality, typicity and adherence to local terroir (what I call “wine integrity”), value for the money, environmental sensitivity and ecologically sustainable wine growing and wine making methods.

Each detailed review page covers an Italian winery and its 3 key areas: Life, Vineyards and Wines. The guide provides a personal view into the people behind the wines, their vineyards, and the wines they craft.

To make it easy for you to judge a wine, the guide uses 3 symbols to identify outstanding wines for 2013.

For the wineries:

  • The Snail symbol represents a cellar that has distinguished itself through its interpretation of sensorial, territorial, environmental and personal values in harmony with the Slow Food philosophy.
  • The Bottle symbol is given to Italian wine producers that show consistently high quality throughout the range of wines that they presented to Slow Food for judging.
  • The Coin symbol is an indicator of excellent value for the money, a producer that makes wines that are noteworthy for quality at a fair price.

And for the wines:

  • Slow Wines with excellent sensory characteristics and that manage to distil the character of their terroir, history and environment in the glass.
  • Great Wines which possess the absolute sensory quality.
  • Everyday Wines are bottles at the standard price level that present excellent value for money.
