Description
A complex wine country with hundreds of indigenous grape varieties, Italy can be baffling even to the well-versed, and downright daunting to the uninitiated. We’ve selected wines to showcase Italy’s classic Northern whites with a crisp Gavi to start, we’ll then move to the south of the region, to Sicily, with a wine produced on the black volcanic soils of Etna. You’ll discover the wonders of the Sangiovese grape with a Brunello di Montalcinoand get the chance to compare it to another indigenous grape, Nebbiolo, with a Barolo.
Wines to be tasted on the evening:
2019 Gavi di Gavi, Bric Sassi, Roberto Sarotto, Piedmont, Italy
2019 Etna Bianco, Graci, Passopisciaro, Sicily, Italy
2016 Brunello di Montalcino, Argiano, Tuscany, Italy
2015 Berry Bros. & Rudd Barolo by Giovanni Rosso, Piedmont
We will arrange a delivery of a selection of wines from Italy, along with a set of glassware and a corkscrew directly to your home. In addition, we’ve partnered with Paxton & Whitfield, who will deliver three artisan cheeses to accompany the wines in the tasting. On the evening of the event, you’ll log in via Zoom where our expert host will take you through the wines.
The ticket price includes full-sized bottles of the wines (75cl), so you can share the experience with family and friends, as well as a selection of Italian cheeses. The virtual tasting will start at 6.30pm and last for one hour and 15 minutes. Once a ticket has been booked, we’ll email you to confirm the details of your delivery.
