Tuscan Masterclass
If Piedmont is Italy's Burgundy, then Tuscany is unquestionably its Bordeaux. This tasting will offer the opportunity to sample and explore some of the region's brightest stars under the tutelage of a Master of Wine. Judge for yourself how the wines of Bolgheri and Brunello measure up against top–rated Bordeaux and discover why the wine world has become so fixated on this area. Throughout this delightful tasting, Michael Palij, MW will discourse on the history, geography and politics of Tuscany and reveal how they have influenced the region's wines.
