Enjoy premium Italian wines while learning new things! During this tasting we take a deep-dive into richly flavoured wines that are delicious now, but will also improve over time.

First, you’re invited to sip an age-worthy orange Arneis wine from Piemonte, and lean how unique winemaking techniques are used to craft this delicious wine suited for long ageing.

Next, you’ll learn the difference between the standard inexpensive Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC red wine, and the more prestigious wine from the same grape that comes from the Colline Teramane DOCG subzone of Abruzzo. Discover what characteristics help this wine to age and develop for a much longer time.

And finally, indulge yourself in a Decanter Silver Medal-winning Barolo. Find out how its dual vineyard origins – La Morra and Monforte d’Alba – contribute to the complex taste.

Join our wine tasting session led by Daniel Schlesinger – our wine expert certified by the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET)
