You, DUAL Members, are cordially invited to an exclusive wine-appreciation session organised by the LSEAAS on Wednesday 30 July.
There is so much to learn about Italy’s rich diversity of wines. These informal walk-around tasting sessions have been devised to either introduce us to, or acquaint us further with, Italy’s multifarious regions and indigenous grape varieties that help make this nation’s wines so very different. Estates will include Geografico, Capannelle from Tuscany, Borgogno and Boroli from Barolo, Inama from Soave.
Make sure you don’t miss finding out more about Italy’s excellent wines coming from the whole length of the country – from top to toe of Italy’s ‘boot’. 9 wines will be featured on this tasting:
Italian cheeses, cured sausages and other finger food will also be served together with the wines. It will be a true Italian Night!
Venue The Burrow, Hermitage
