Description
Join us for a guided wine tasting in our private tasting room and cellar located in the historic Monti district. Over the course of the two-hour event you will taste wines from across Italy and learn how to tell your DOCs from your DOCGs, what's the difference between Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, how to pair the right wine with the right food, and so on. We will also discuss what exactly is a "natural" or "low-intervention" wine and how it differs from most commercial wine being made today.
By the end of our time together you will be a more knowledgeable and more confident wine consumer. And you will have tasted some unique and tasty wines along with other like-minded wine fans.
What's included
Itinerary
You will taste 6 Italian wines under the guidance of a professional certified sommelier and wine educator with decades of experience.
After an initial refresher of the steps of wine tasting, we'll go on to taste very different styles of wines from all over Italy. As you taste each new wine you'll be introduced to a new characteristic and the reasons behind it. You will understand your own perception of the wine taste and how you can use it for smarter wine choices in the future.
You will learn about the effects different regions, grapes, soils, climate and winemaking techniques have on the end result, the glass of wine in front of you. You will also get a peek into the place wine has in Italian culture and history, general guidelines about how to pair wines with food, agricultural practices like organic and sustainable farming or even neuro-enology. Your interest and questions will definitely play a role in how deep and and in which direction the discussion goes - we meet each guest at exactly the level they are, be it novice, enthusiast or even sommelier or winemaker and take them a couple of steps further.
Printed info & learning materials will be provided.
