Ancient & Indigenous Wines of Italy
Ancient & Indigenous Wines of Italy — Masterclass with Jim Morrison (D.B. Wines)
Explore Italy off the beaten path. This seated tasting compares indigenous grapes from lesser-known regions side by side—showing how geology, climate, and elevation shape aroma, texture, and finish across volcanic Campania (Vesuvio), coastal/plains Emilia-Romagna (Forlì), sun-drenched Puglia, and Tuscany’s stony hills (San Gimignano).
