Vivino Tastemaker: An Italian Wine Journey

Italy isn’t just another Old World region — it’s arguably the backbone of traditional European winemaking. With over 500 native grape varieties, dramatic terroirs ranging from the Alps to Sicily, and centuries of viticultural heritage, Italy offers unparalleled diversity in style and expression. From the structured nobility of Barolo to the sun-drenched depth of Amarone, Italian wines are shaped by history, regional identity, and a fierce respect for local tradition.

Join us for an intimate evening exploring five distinctive Italian wines, hosted by Josh Lim, one of Singapore’s top Vivino reviewers. Known for his sharp palate and refreshingly honest takes, Josh will guide you through a lineup that travels from alpine precision to volcanic tension, and into the powerful heart of Barolo and Amarone.

This is not a passive tasting. It’s a conversation — about structure, terroir, balance, and why Italy continues to command respect (and obsession) from wine lovers worldwide.
