Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this wine tasting class:

Coveted by sommeliers and connoisseurs, Sicilian wines are finally getting the attention they deserve. The largest island in the Mediterranean, Sicily's winemaking traditions can be traced back to ancient times. However, an exciting new chapter began in 1968 when the Etna DOC was established; the island's first Denominazione di Origine Controllata moved Sicilian wines from a path of obscurity to acclaim.

In this immersive workshop, we’ll discuss the major wine regions of the island, identify the major indigenous grapes, and explore Sicily's rich winemaking history. We’ll taste a flight that demonstrates the unique influence of volcanic soil and maritime climate.

Classes are 2 hours long, including a Q&A session with Astor Center Instructor, Tess Rose Lampert.
