IWM Host: Francesco Vigorito, Vice President of Sales
From grape varietals to winemaking techniques, Italy and France have a serious relationship. As much as Italy and France compete for the attention of the wine world, the two neighboring countries also influence one another. Join IWM's own Francesco Vigorito for this special event that lets you compare the wines of France and Italy side by side, the makings of an entirely delightful Saturday afternoon. In this Studio del Gusto tasting, we'll be matching wines from Burgundy, Bordeaux and beyond with Italian Barolo, Brunello and more. Pairing wines from some of our favorite producers, regions, grapes and traditions, this event will give you an unparalleled opportunity to compare and contrast the wines of the world's two greatest winemaking countries. Spend a Saturday sipping wines from iconic and emblematic producers, nibbling on French and Italian cheeses and meats, and learning how the fine wines of Italy and France make each other great!
