My Italians Special: Super Whites of Friuli

This tasting is a real special occasion: We will taste, compare and contrast 7 white wines of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. This region produces some of the best white wines of Italy, if not the world! Hard to believe? Never heard of them before? Come and see for yourself why these wines are called super whites. The soils and the climate bear the most interesting wines, both from international and indigenous varietals; and the ambitious winemakers have dug up historic wine making practices (amphorae!) to let nature do its work. The result is wines like you never had before! Directly after the tasting, we will have some specialties of this inter-cultural region (cheeses and hams) where you can directly taste-test the best food-wine matchings, a very important part of drinking wine in Italy.

This tasting will be held strictly in English and spaces offered are very limited, so book now!

Please note that this special tasting is geared towards an audience that already has at least basic knowledge of wine tasting and evaluation techniques. We will focus on the above stated region and specific aspects of its wines.

The cost of this 3 to 4 hour tasting is €100 p.p..

My Italians Special: Reds of Piemonte and Lombardia

This tasting is a real special occasion: We will taste, compare and contrast 7 reds from Piedmont, the king of Italian red wine regions, and Lombardy, a (not so) hidden gem neighboring Piedmont. We’ll look into the “modernist vs. traditionalist” way of wine making in Piedmont (esp. Barolo) and also see how terroir changes the results obtained from the Nebbiolo grape - ever heard of Valtellina? Included are also some older vintages so you can get a glimpse of the potential of these wines.

My Italians Special: So you think you don’t like white wine?

This tasting is a real special occasion to test your taste buds and beliefs: We will taste, compare and contrast 7 white wines from all over Italy. Italy produces some of the best white wines in the world! Hard to believe? Never heard of them before (except maybe Pinot Grigio and Prosecco)? You don’t like white wines because you find them too watery, too acidic, too light, too sweet, too oaky? Come and see for yourself why and how white wines can change your life! The soils and the climate of Italy bear the most interesting wines, both from international and indigenous varietals; and the winemakers let nature make the wine as it deems fit, as opposed to streamlining all wines. The result is “white wines like you never had before”*!

This tasting will be held strictly in English and spaces offered are very limited, so book now!

The cost of this 3 hour tasting is €60 p.p..
