  Le Vie del Vino

  Piemonte

  Lesser-Known Grape Varieties

  WINE EDUCATION
  Thursday, April 13, 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm 

  
  
  

  Join us for an educational class about Piemonte Lesser-Known Grape Varieties and Wines, one of Italy's greatest wine regions. Piemonte is one of the country's most spectacular-looking regions, tucked in just south of the Alps (Piemonte means " foot of the mountain"), and is home to some of the greatest red wines in the world, made from the Nebbiolo varietal.

  Piedmont has another hidden treasure because it hosts an impressive range of indigenous (autochthonous) grape varieties that have not yet reached international recognition. Tonight we will discover and learn about the lesser-known native grape varieties and taste their wines with The Piedmont Guy. Charcuterie boards "taglieri di salumi e formaggi" and breadsticks "grissini" will be also enjoyed by the guests.

  Silvia Mazza BIO

  Tourism has always been a passion and a profession to me. It all started when my German mother met my father while she was on holiday in Rimini, on the Adriatic Coast: I am the result of that love born on vacation, so we can say that tourism is in my DNA! I have always loved to travel, to discover new places and cultures. I started my career as animator in tourist resorts all over the world, then I became tour leader and finally I landed to work in tourism promotion over 20 years ago. It’s a very gratifying work, trying to boost tourism in the region where I was born and grown up. I am aware that there are a lot of amazing things to see, taste, experience, enjoy and I am happy to share this knowledge to anyone who is curious to learn more about Emilia Romagna.
