Workshop Overview
Italy’s diversity is geographic.
From Alpine foothills to volcanic slopes to sunlit coastal plains, terrain and climate create radically different wine styles across the country. In this workshop, we’ll explore how mountains, seas, and soils influence structure, acidity, and grape choice — with a focus on key regions and native varieties that deserve attention beyond Chianti and Brunello.
Through guided tasting, you’ll begin to navigate Italy with greater clarity and confidence.
This session gives you a map — not just names — for understanding Italian wine.
