OCRWINEI - From Tip to Toe - Let's Take a Wine Tour of Italy
Course Description
Italian wine is among the most popularin the world for many reasons, and
the sheer range of styles, grape
varieties, and producers makes this
wine undoubtedly some of the most
important. The best part about Italian
wine is that no matter how much of an
expert you are, there’s always more to
learn! There are 20 official regions in
Italy, and excellent wine is produced in
all of them. Anytime you begin exploring
a country’s wine culture, it’s smart to
taste examples from throughout the
country to get a complete picture. In
Italy, that means looking for wines
from the north, central, and southern
parts of the country, and from coastal
and mountainous regions. With Italy,
you don’t need to spend a fortune to
purchase a wonderful array of wines.
Join OLLI to learn more about Italy’s
excellent wines! You will sample various
wines with matching hors d’oeuvres.
