Tuscany Night
Guided Wine & Blind Tasting Experience
Two Whites, Six Reds, One Unforgettable Tasting.
Three evenings in May. Eight carefully selected Tuscan wines. A blind tasting that will change how you think about Italian reds.
Eight wines. Our wine captain and special guests will guide you through every pour.
About the Event:
Wine Captain Thomas D'Acquisto guides you through the heart of Tuscany, from the crisp whites of San Gimignano and the Sienese hills to a blind tasting of six Tuscan reds that will put your palate to the test; all while Michele Zucchi of Sogno Toscano walks you through a spread of imported Tuscan cured meats, artisanal cheeses, and olive oils – where they come from, how they're made, and why they taste nothing like what you'll find on a grocery shelf.
The whites open the evening with two distinct expressions of Tuscan terroir: a Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG from the medieval town Dante wrote about in the Divine Comedy, and a Trebbiano-Malvasia blend from an artisan estate in the hills south of Siena.
Then the blindfolds go on (figuratively). Six reds, poured without labels. Chianti Classico vs. Chianti Classico. Brunello di Montalcino vs. Brunello di Montalcino. A Super Tuscan from the legendary Bolgheri coast vs. a Sangiovese from Terre di Pisa. Same grapes, different vineyards, wildly different results. You taste. You rate. You guess. Then we reveal.
It's education, discovery, and a little friendly competition, all in one evening.
This is a twice-a-year experience. Three nights. That's it.
