Italy is home to over 2,000 indigenous grape varieties, but we’re inviting you to break rank with the masses and join an exclusive online masterclass focused on less well-known varieties: Italy’s Hidden Gems.
For October and November we focus on the world’s third biggest wine producing nation whose wine regions fall either side of an imaginary north-south divide. We look at the influences that have shaped each.
Leaving behind the Atlantic influence of the cooler north, we journey to the heat of the Mediterranean south, where a host of different geographic and climatic differences have influenced the style of the wines.
We take a break over summer but will be back in September 2026. The full programme through until Christmas will be added soon, but why not sign up for my newsletter to be kept up to date?
Our wine preservation kit is perfect for our tastings, where we normally open three bottles in a session. Consisting of a genuine Vacu Vin vacuum pump with three stoppers and a stainless steel stopper designed to preserve sparkling wines.
