The Literary Wines of Roberto Massari. There is nothing like settling into an easy chair with a good book and a glass of good wine,and Roberto Massari, Bolsena-based novelist, publisher, and wine-producer, has artfully combined the two in creating his “literary wines,”dedicated to great writers and great books. For each writer, Massari attempts to create a wine whose characteristics best express that writer’s temperament, essence,or soul. Printed on the front and back label of each bottle is a brief text about the writer and a brief quote from his writings. Among writers celebrated by these wines are Cesare Pavese, Che Guevara, and Giordano Bruno.A unique aesthetic experience. Cheers!
