Exploring Italy Series: Italy’s Rare Grapes – Beyond Pinot Grigio and Chianti
Tuesday September 15 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Italy is home to over 350 officially recognized grape varieties and some say the true number pushes past 500, making it one of the most diverse wine regions on Earth. And yet, walk into any wine shop or scan any wine list, and you’ll likely see the same handful of names again and again.
It’s time to go off the beaten path.
Join New York Kitchen & Forge Cellars Wine Educator Thera Clark for a journey into Italy’s best-kept secrets: rare, indigenous varieties, some teetering on the edge of extinction, that rarely leave their home regions. These are the grapes with centuries of history behind them, each bottle a story you won’t find on the usual wine list.
We’ll raise a glass of Schioppettino and uncover the hidden gems that keep wine lovers coming back for another taste, another story, another discovery. We have no doubt that you’ll leave with a new favorite, and be able to impress even your snobbiest of wine loving friends with your new knowledge of the obscure!
Salud, and welcome back to (wine) school!
