With an astounding array of styles, the wines of Italy can be as confusing as they are amazing and diverse. Following a number of important wine regions spreading out from the hills of Piedmont in the far north to the slopes of Etna below the southern tip of the iconic boot, we will explore what role mountain and sea may play on these distinctive regions.
This session will feature wines from the Piedmont, Veneto, Trentino, Tuscany, Abruzzo, Basilicata, and Sicily.
We will learn how to read the Italian wine label along with a few tricks on how to predict wine style based on climate and grape.
Tonight will feature a selection of hors d’oeuvres representing flavors of the regions.
