Italian Wine Tasting Part 4 - Region Emilia Romagna

The wines showcasing are from Al di là del Fiume, a small two-hectare plot of vines nestled in Emilia Romagna, but is part of a farm dubbed ‘Danila Mongardi’ which is so much more than just a vineyard. Danila and Adriano Zago have managed to create their biodynamic paradise, a farm that advocates the passion between people and the power of the earth – and as such have created a social farming model. The vines are farmed biodynamically, spend time in Tuscan terracotta amphora and see absolutely no additions, and as such express the full ethos behind Danila and Adriano’s passion for biodynamic. 

The evening will be hosted by Lilly Heenan.

2021 Al di là del Fiume Fricando Albana

This orange wine from Emilia Romagna biodynamicists Al di la del Fiume is absolutely delicious and a bit terrifying!
