What to Expect
Your sommelier introduces the philosophy behind the tasting selection and provides an overview of the Italian wine regions featured in the session.
The tasting opens with a sparkling wine from either Trento DOC or Alta Langa, two of Italy's most respected appellations for method-classic bubbles. The sommelier explains the production process and regional character.
A white wine made from indigenous Italian varieties such as Trebbiano, Catarratto, or Malvasia Puntinata is poured alongside a matching bite from the chef. Discussion focuses on how terroir and grape genetics shape flavour.
The first red wine spotlight shifts to the north, featuring prestigious labels such as Barolo. The sommelier explores the grape, the climate, and the winemaking traditions of the region.
A second red wine drawn from central or southern Italy — such as Chianti or Etna Rosso — closes the tasting flight. Comparisons between the two reds highlight Italy's extraordinary north-to-south diversity.
Guests may browse the wine shop to purchase bottles tasted or arrange international or domestic delivery. The sommelier is available for final questions and personalised recommendations.
