With the
help of our
sommelier, you
will get a clear
idea of the
Tuscan wine
making history,
its appellations
and traditions.
You will also
learn about wine
making
techniques,
about the
climate and
terroir of the
different areas.
Finally you will
get to know the
most
 important
grapes to the
area, and how
they can express
themselves
differently in
each territory.
We will pop open
some great
Tuscan wines,
illustrating the
native grape
varietals, and
especially
examples of
Sangiovese in
different
denominations
and of different
vintages. As for
example how
Chiantis will
differ from
Chianti Classico
and how the
latter will
differ from a
DOC or DOCG wine
from
Montepulciano
and then again
to compare with
the typi cal
wines from
Montalcino such
as the Brunello.
We'll make sure
to open wines at
all levels, so
every tasting we
put in at least
one very
important wine
as for example a
Brunello di
 Montalcino
or a famous
Super Tuscan.
Together with
the tasting,
we'll give you some
bread and olive
oil, a slice of
Italian cheese
and why not some
chocolate and
taste of the
aged balsamic
vinegar?! We're
not skimpy with
the pours, but
please be aware
that we'll pair
wines with some
food samples
when possible,
however, it's
not a meal,
simply examples
of how foo d and
wines pair
together...
