05/14 - Italy Off The Beaten Path - Native Grapes

Cost: $95

Italy Off the Beaten Path

Italy has more native grape varieties than any other country in the world. Most of them never make it to a wine list.

This tasting takes you off the beaten vine — from the Alps to Sicily, through the grapes that define local traditions and regional character without ever getting the spotlight they deserve.

Alessandra Esteves, DipWSET, Master of Wine candidate and Director of Wine Education at Florida Wine Academy, leads this comparative tasting through Italy's most compelling hidden varieties.
