Each year there are more and more specialty magazines, organizations and publishers which dedicate articles, attention or special guides to the cataloguing and rating of the most important wines, highlighting the finest specimens and types.

Some of these publishers and journalists, both Italian and foreign, have attained widespread acclaim and credibility to the point of becoming an important reference. In the first place, the consumer can find a clear explanation and description of the wine for which he is searching. The publications are also useful to wine makers who, by comparing their product with that of their competitors, can find the right path for their production.
