Description
Unlike many wine producing countries which rely heavily on the same few popular French grape varieties, Italy continues to produce wine from a staggeringly large number of different indigenous and adopted grape varieties. This evening we will sample some of the more unusual and delicious examples from our range including whites from Favorita, Timorasso and Grillo and reds from Grignolino, Sagrantino and Nero d’Avola. Prepare to discover some new favourites to add to your repertoire.
