28th April – Italy By The Glass : from North to South.

Secure your place today. Seats are limited to 16. 

Italy is home to more native grape varieties than any other country on earth — and no two regions taste the same. In this opening session of The Passione Vino Wine Salon, Crystal Whitcroft takes you on a journey the length of the Italian peninsula, one glass at a time.

Five wines. Five regions. One country, endlessly fascinating.

Guided by Crystal Whitcroft, this session is designed to be both informative and thoroughly enjoyable — whether you are new to Italian wine or looking to deepen what you already know.


WINES 

1. La Raia — Gavi — Gavi DOCG — Piedmont (100% Cortese — organic estate in the hills of Gavi, aged in stainless steel for purity and freshness — crisp, mineral and the benchmark expression of Piedmont's finest white)

2. Antolini — Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore DOC — Veneto (Corvina, Corvinone & Rondinella — refermented over Amarone skins for added depth and complexity — a family estate in the historic Valpolicella Classico zone)

3. Carpineta Fontalpino — Chianti Classico DOCG — Tuscany (100% Sangiovese — biodynamic estate in Castelnuovo Berardenga on the southern edge of Chianti Classico — pure, terroir-driven Sangiovese from one of the zone's most committed producers)

4. Bosco Sant'Agnese — Corneliano — Benevento IGP — Campania (Aglianico & Piedirosso — volcanic soils in the hills of Sannio, Campania — a lesser-known but compelling expression of the south's most powerful native red grape)

5. Mocavero — Primitivo — Salento IGP — Puglia (100% Primitivo — sun-drenched vineyards in the Salento peninsula, the sun-baked heel of Italy — rich, warm and generous, the south in a glass)
