This week is about about opening up your palates to as many different style of wine made in this region including, Verdicchio, Vermentino, Biano (blends), Sparkling Sangiovese (made in the Traditional method), and every gamut of red wine mainly from the Sangiovese grape variety (e.g. Brunello, Chianti, Nobile), however, we include varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and other Bordeaux blends and we definitely get into the older more vintage category as well. Did we mention juicy, savoury Rosé’s as well?
The food is outrageously good and has perfect synergy with the wine. Expect lots of truffle, hand-made pasta, chargrilled steak or Bistecca, buffalo mozzarella, pecorino and some of the lightest, freshest desserts that you can’t say no to. Those of you that can join, will surely experience something new.
