ARC Review for The Italian Winemaker by Leanne Lovegrove

The Italian Winemaker by Leanne Lovegrove is a story that drew me in from the very beginning and held my attention all the way through.

Set among the rolling vineyards of Tuscany, this novel blends romance, family legacy, and personal growth in a way that feels both engaging and heartfelt. Marcella’s unexpected inheritance turns her world upside down, and I really enjoyed following her journey as she finds her footing in an unfamiliar place and begins to discover her own strength and capability.

Rocco, the chief winemaker, is a strong and compelling character. Driven and loyal, with his own wounds and ambitions, he brings depth to the story and creates a dynamic that unfolds naturally rather than feeling rushed or forced. The connection between Marcella and Rocco develops with emotional honesty, which made their story all the more satisfying to read.

Leanne Lovegrove’s writing is gentle, confident, and beautifully paced. This is an easy book to settle into, yet it is thoughtfully crafted and emotionally engaging. It was one of those reads that kept me up later than planned simply because I didn’t want to put it down.

Warm, immersive, and thoroughly enjoyable, The Italian Winemaker is a beautifully written story that I loved from start to finish. A five-star read that I am very happy to recommend.
