Il Frappato 2021
BB 2023
FL 2023
PT 2023
Grotte Alte Cerasuolo Di Vittoria 2020

"Abruzzo 101: Understanding Abruzzo"
Saturday, April 12th, 1-2:30pm
We’ll familiarize ourselves with Abruzzo: the terrain, varietals, environmental influences and what (per us) makes Abruzzo the most interesting place in Italy to drink wine.
A discussion of Abruzzo’s geography, locations of its 7 appellations, and environment will be followed by a tasting of the 4 main regional varietals: Trebbiano, Pecorino, Cerasuolo, and Montepulciano d’Abruzzo; 5 if Cococciola is available (otherwise, a light-body and full-body Montepulciano will be substituted), with stuzzichini by Chef Andrew.
$125 (excl tax & gratuity)
Limited seating; reservations via Resy
