Enjoy a tasting of volcanic wines from Sicily, Campania, Tuscany, and Veneto as we explore how Italy’s many active and extinct volcanoes help create some of the most mineral-rich and distinctive wines on earth. As always, our wine tasting will be accompanied by Italian-style light bites.

About the presenter

What does aperitivo italiano really mean?
An aperitivo (or apéritif) is often described as being similar to the American happy hour, but in reality, it’s so much more than that. An aperitivo is a ritual, joyous and mood-lifting. It relaxes you after a day of work and prepares you for the night to come. The aperitivo has long been a staple in Italy, and in recent years, has been gaining more appreciation around the world.
