BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO TASTING
Chianti is one of Italy’s most important wine and olive oil regions, characterised by sprawling vineyards and a history of wine production dating back 2,500 years. Among Italy’s best-regarded wines is Brunello di Montalcino — a product of the Tuscan province of Sienna. In 1980, Brunello di Montalcino was among the four wines awarded the first Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG). This red DOCG wine is produced in the vineyards surrounding the town of Montalcino, located 90km from COMO Castello Del Nero.
Each tasting can accommodate up to ten guests and takes place from Monday to Saturday. Reservations must be made by 4.00pm.
SUPER TUSCAN TASTING
The term ‘Super Tuscan’ was coined in the early 1980’s to describe a red blend from Tuscany. What makes Super Tuscan wine different from other Tuscan wines is the use of grapes that are not indigenous to Italy, including Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.
During the hour-long tasting session with our sommelier, you will be given an introduction to Super Tuscan wines while you sample a few of our sommelier’s favourites, accompanied by a range of Tuscan cold cuts and pecorino cheese.
