You are cordially invited to join us for a special tasting dedicated to the wines and producers that shaped, challenged, and transformed the Italian wine scene. This seminar provides a compelling and rare introduction to some of Italy’s most sought-after wines, including the revolutionary Sassicaia; Conterno’s benchmark Granbussia; Sangiovese’s most illuminating singular expression, Le Pergole Torte; rare vintage Barolo from Borgogno; and other labels that defined a specific genre in Italian wine.

An IWM sommelier will lead the tasting, setting each wine within its appropriate regional and historical context and illuminating its impact on both Italian viticulture and the world market’s perception of Italian wine. Given their significance, this presentation will be particularly rewarding for aspiring wine enthusiasts and collectors. Indeed, all participants will receive a complimentary IWM Cellar Account (for a duration of one month)—an industry-defining tool that enables you to manage and analyze significant aspects of your cellar in a virtual environment. The tasting will assist you in identifying labels that will either make a profound contribution to your present cellar or start a new collection with landmark style. Tasting notes, maps, and additional materials will complement the sommelier’s presentation and provide further insight into these iconic bottlings.

If you are in search of a gift for the discriminating oenophile, there are few gifts that will rate as highly as IWM’s A Tasting of Italy’s Icons. For more information on this special Saturday tasting event or to make a reservation, please contact Michann Thompson at 212.473.2323, x106.
