SUMMARY:A "GREEK VS ITALIAN" EXCEPTIONAL WINE TASTING DISCOVERY!
DESCRIPTION:Italian and Greek wines share deep ancient mediterranean roots but are vastly different in terms of marketing presence\, development and regional flavor profiles.

Both Greek & Italian wines have a long and storied history with world’s most ancient viticultural locations. Today Greece’s oldest varieties have found a growing audience on the international market\, thanks to passionate sommeliers and wine historians.

Standouts include Aglianico \,Barbera\, Cortese\, Friulano\, Nero D’ Avola. Among Greece’s more than 300 indigenous grapes\, several are millennia old. Grapes such as Assyrtiko\, Limnio\, Robola and Liatiko are just a few that draw particular attention for their world class quality\, with traditional and modern styles that align with 21st century palates!
