About the event
Great lineup of some classic Italian styles, and a laid-back introduction to Italian wines. Evening tasting hosted by Marin Van Der Klooster from The Wine Tradition importers.
Wines on tasting:Â
Villa  Sandi NV Il Fresco Prosecco DOC (Vento, Italy)
The Villa Sandi NV Il Fresco Prosecco DOC is fruity and floral with notes of apple ripe golden and small mountain flowers. Dry, fresh and fruity on a soft background with a final fruity and aromatic mouth.
Tamellini Soave
The wine has a medium to light, bright yellow colour that leads into a creamy, smoky-lees aroma. The palate is crisp, vibrant, and has mouth-watering acidity while the mid-palate blossoms with lovely ripe floral and stone-fruit flavours. It moves into a softly lingering, satisfying aftertaste. The wine has a delicious flavour and is well-balanced.
Fiorini Chianti Superiore DOCG
The wine has a bright ruby red colour and is delicious to drink, exhibiting classic aromas of ripe red cherries and violets. On the palate, juicy notes of cherry and cranberry mix with flavours of licorice, cloves, and pepper. The wine has a subtle astringency and spice, which balances the lush fruit, and it finishes with powdery, fine tannins.
