Italian Wine Foundations Part 2, Central or Southern Italy
***Class Fee is $120. Please register to hold your place in the Italian Foundations Part 1 program. You will receive an e-mail with final class details inclusive of a payment link one week prior to the program.
This class offers a guided overview of the grapes, wines, and regions of central and southern Italy. A continuation of Italy Foundation 1, this Italy Foundation 2 course will focus on the wines which Foundation 1 did not. Also like Italy Foundation 1, we will focus on the wines themselves, instead of the history, microclimates, and soil types of the region. We will taste, analyze, and discuss our way through 10 wines from central and southern Italian regions, including Umbria, Puglia, Abruzzo, and several more. We will examine these wines, and try to understand what makes them so special. Our hope is that students will leave this class with both a clear understanding of the better-known wines of central and southern; Italy, and a keen interest in learning more about them. This class concludes the recommended foundation for more advanced classes on Italian wines.
