From Campania to Sicilia: A Taste of Southern Italian Wines Italian Wine Merchants - 108 East 16th Street Between Park Avenue South and Irving Place Saturday, May 17, 1:00-3:00 PM, $50 Take this opportunity to taste some of our newest arrivals and focus on the artisanal wonders of the South. This casual walk-around tasting provides an exploration in the quality, style, and grape varietals from Campania, Sicilia, and Puglia. We also couldn’t resist including a new gem from Lazio, technically part of Central Italy. Absorb the colorful history of Southern Italy, once known for its bulk wines but now enjoying a Renaissance, proving its worth to be more than that of big reds and mass production. Whether it be Aglianico from the volcanic soils of Campania or Nero d’Avola from the hills of Sicilia, it is clear that the South has come a long way. Participants Receive: • Wine Note Booklet featuring IWM’s proprietary writing • Sampling of regional cheeses and house-cured meats • A “Taste of” six different regional wines To register online please visit http://www.italianwinemerchantstore.com/tastings/sat_studio_tastings.html Space is limited. Please reserve today.
