A land whose beauty encompasses everything from rugged mountains and craggy coastlines to white-sand beaches and stunning turquoise seas, Southern Italy is home to a rich wine history, as well as contemporary wines that show great promise. They’re not household names like their Piedmont or Tuscan cousins, but the wines of Italy’s southern wine districts are bold, full-bodied, and satisfying.

Southern Italy has been producing wine for over 4,000 years. The wine business here was already booming in 2000 B.C. when the Phoenicians arrived. The Greeks dubbed southern Italy “The Land of Wine,” and the Romans delighted in the wines of the region. In modern times, however, wine production in southern Italy has languished, and a large portion of wine produced there was sold to France and Germany as a blending wine. All that is changing. And, bonus, Southern Italian wines are very affordable and reasonably prices!

Lead by Chris Curtis of Winebow, we will sample seven different wines from regions around Southern Italy. Once again, this event is a Wine and Cheese Pairing! Everyone will have their own charcuterie box with accoutrements.
