Description
Much Italian wine owes its existence to the Venetian empire. Employing a range of wines from Vitovska to Vinsanto, our home-grown history buff Demetri Walters MW will explore some of the wines that came about because of a Venetian maritime empire as well as its expansion on the Italian mainland. A wonderful meal will make sense of the sparkling, white and red wines, whilst the evening as a whole will frame the influence of the once great Venetian Mediterranean trade.
