This online tasting will be dedicated to the various styles and varieties of sparkling wine that Italy has to offer. We will look at different styles of production and why various wines can be simple and light or rich and structured. We will go beyond Prosecco and Franciacorta to other emerging wines made with native grapes from regions all over the country. Not only will we taste some lesser known wines, but we will also look at value for money, quality, and Italy's place as a star in the international sparkling wine market.
Prior to the class, our sommelier will recommend wines and food pairings. Participants can then purchase whichever wines they wish to taste and gather in small groups at home for this wine class. Coordinating will allow you to pool your purchases and taste a larger range of wines.
