CLASS: Vini Bianchi
Italy is home to some of the most important wines in the world. Barolo, Chianti, Taurasi, Etna Rosso... these are just a few wines to capture our attention in restaurants and retails shops across America. A common thread? They are all reds. Have you ever heard "I tasted a great white from Italy the other night, it was so good, I had no idea Italy produced good whites?!" Well, the answer is an emphatic and resounding YES!
In this tasting, sommelier Paul Robinson will introduce 7 wines that will forever change your views of Italian whites. We will travel to Alto-Adige, Piemonte, Friuli, Toscana, Sicily, Abruzzo and Campania to discover the full breadth of whites coming from these important winemaking areas. Participants will be introduced to classics such as Fiano, Trebbiano and Vernaccia, alongside rising stars like Timorasso, Carricante and Ribola Giallo. This isn't your parents Gavi di Gavi! Come find out why...
