About the Event
Do you know that there are over 500 native grape varieties in Italy? And they use at least 175 different varieties in their everyday wines. A such, there is SO MUCH to learn about Italy!
Come join us as we explore two of their many regions, and go away with a new love of the country! We'll focus on white wines from Gavi within the Northern region of Piemonte, and Avellino within the Southern region of Campania. The wines we will be tasting are:
- La Raia Gavi, 2018 (if you can't find this wine, look for a wine from Gavi, within Piemonte, or made from the Cortese grape)
- Donna Paolina, Fiano Di Avellino 2018 (if you can't find this wine, look for a wine from Avellino, within Campania, or made from the Fiano grape)
If you can get one (or both!) of these wines to taste along with me, that is fabulous! If not, feel free to supplement with any similar white wine from these regions (or country, if regions are unavailable), and please let me know ahead of time which wine you'll be tasting.
Please note, I may be taping the class to use for my own purposes, including potentially adding to my website. If you do not wish to be included in the tape, please don't turn on your video and disguise your name.
Saluti!
