Sample Saturdays: Free Wine Tasting with Vincenzo Schiano of Impero Wines

Are you a lover of Italian wines? In addition to our complimentary daily wine tastings, join us every Saturday as we introduce new wines to you from all over Italy. You will taste up to 3 wines that we will choose to offer to "expand your palate" and we will share food pairing ideas too!

Vincenzo will be offering:

Il Masso Pinot Grigio Friuli DOC – 100% Pinot Grigio. Everything one could want from a wine made from this grape - stone fruit, green apple, pear, lemon and lime citrus, honeysuckle and mineral notes with a cleansing acidity.

Campo Dottore Riesling DOC – 100% Riesling. Fruity when young. The bouquet becomes increasingly complex with ageing, showing the unmistakable aromas of the grape variety. Deft and fresh, with a long persistence. A wine with a distinctive personality. Ideal with seafood (specifically shellfish), white meat with creamy sauces and spaghetti with garlic, oil and red pepper.

Tenuta Iuzzolini Ciro Rosso Classico DOC – 100% Gaglioppo. Ruby red in colour. The aroma is intense and delicate with aromas of dried fruit, tobacco and vanilla. The finish is dry, full and pleasantly tannic. Ideal for roasts, games and grills.

Boschetto di Montiano Io&Te Morellino di Scansano- - Sangiovese 85%, Merlot 15%. Intense purple red wine, with delicate aromas reminiscent of small red fruits and an intense and slightly balsamic finish. In the mouth it is fresh and fruity. Pairs well with pizza and pasta dishes, as well as grilled white meats.
