Two-hour interactive wine and cheese tasting of six Central Italian wines and cheeses, led by a wine tutor from the Thames Valley Wine School.
Wines and Cheese of Central Italy is coming to the Reading Biscuit Factory on Wednesday 9 June, from 7pm to 9pm. It's the second week of a two-part Italian discovery series run by the Thames Valley Wine School, and this one takes you deep into Tuscany, Italy's most recognised wine region.
The whole evening centres on the Sangiovese grape, the variety behind the area's famous reds: Chianti, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Brunello and the 'Super Tuscans'. From there it reaches Umbria with Orvieto. The session focuses on wines made from indigenous Italian grape varieties, most of which are found only within Italy, and it's built for all levels of wine knowledge, so you don't need to be a pro to get something out of it.
As for the format, you'll taste samples of six carefully selected wines and cheeses, and you'll get wine notes and handouts to take home. The main part of the night is a two-hour interactive presentation with a Q&A led by a wine tutor, so there's plenty of room to ask questions as you go. The school belongs to the Local Wine School Network, which they describe as the world's fastest-growing network of independent wine schools.
