Is Prosecco the only wine that springs to mind when you think of Italian fizz? Join us to taste eight superb sparkling wines from across Italy and discover something new.
Event details
Join Elena Barattini DipWSET on an Italian wine adventure, tasting a range of lesser-known sparkling wines crafted in different corners of the country.
You'll explore eight unique styles produced using a variety of techniques and distinctive grape varieties, and learn that there is more to Italian sparkling wine than just the ever-popular Prosecco.
Samples will include delicious traditional method sparkling wines, a 'Col Fondo' Prosecco that has been aged on its lees, and a sparkling red Lambrusco. Come and discover your new favourite fizz!
Guests will also get a selection of Italian cheese and charcuterie from Borough Market to enjoy with their bubbles.
