Wine Tasting Events
13th and 14th November -Ronco Del Gelso - Friuli Venezia Giulia
Their vineyards are situated on the small plain created by the tributaries of the Isonzo, which extends from the hills of the Collio region towards the Adriatic Sea.
The climate and soil create award-winning wines with a sweet aromatic quality, full-flavoured with prominent fruit.
Friuli Venezia Giulia is an area of noble wine making tradition, the focus is on the native vines such as Ribolla Gialla, Friulano Schioppettino Merlot and Refosco.
27th and 28th November -Sparapani Fratibianchi Wine Tasting.
The Sparapani family makes wines from three vineyards:
DONNA CLOE VINEYARD
The selection of the grapes from this vineyard has produced their Riserva DOCG “Donna Cloe” since 2009, dedicated to the eldest daughter of the third Sparapani generation. An exuberant, full and powerful wine.
PRIORE VINEYARD
Poggio Cupro is the highest of their “Cru”. It’s situated on the north-westerly side and its vines stand on a wide south exposure ridge. The terrain is mainly composed of fine texture clays which help the water absorption and release it slowly to the roots of plants. It’s here that in 1996 Il Priore, Verdicchio DOC dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore was born.
SALERNA VINEYARD
WHERE THE COMPANY WAS BORN.
The family estate and the vineyard are situated towards Mount San Vicino and close to the Esino River which ensures a temperature difference that creates freshness in the soil. The vineyard takes its name from “via Salerna”, the old unpaved road that led from the centre of Cupramontana towards the surrounding countryside. The medium altitude and the clayey soil are ideal for producing fresh and young wines.
£50 per head, nibbles included. 6.30pm start.
