From the Roof of Italy @ College Ave. Thursday, September 12th

Some of the greatest wines in Italy come from the foothills of the Italian Alps. Famously, Piedmonte is known for the superstar wines of Barolo and Barbaresco but there’s a lot more there. We’re going to taste the affordable side of Piedmonte right next to these World Class regions. We’ll have a Barbera, a Dolcetto and from the heart of Piedmonte (Gavi) we’ll taste a mouthwatering white made from 100% Cortese. Then we’ll go to the other side of the Alps (Veneto) and taste some sparkling Garganega (what the region is known for) and last but not least a really classic Valpolicella driven by Corvina, the chief grape of the region, and offers up crushed violet and dried rose, ancho chili, pink peppercorn, all balanced by a gentle nudge of brambly red fruit!
