Leaving the borders with wines from Italy-

Organised by "Paris Kedge Alumni Wine Tasting"

Online KEDGE Alumni Wine Tasting

Session 2: Thursday, 17 March 2022, 7:00 to 9:00 pm:

Leaving the borders with wines from Italy

A small tour of Italy, its products, its specific viticultural features, and the characteristics of its grape varieties through its most well-known appellations

These events, which have taken place for 20 years now, are led by Muriel Petit, professional oenologist, and KEDGE Alumnus Olivier Mora.

Our oenological meetings are open to all KEDGE students and graduates, as well as to external participants, whether located in France or abroad. The sessions will take place by videoconference once a month starting at 7 pm. Participants will receive PDF documentation prior to the session and will be able to interact and ask our oenologist any questions they may have. What's more, each session ends with a live tasting!

OPTIONAL: If you’d like, you can purchase a wine corresponding to the theme of the eventing to taste during the session. Prior to each session, you will receive wine suggestions related to that evening’s theme.

Here is a selection of wines that can be purchased from Nicolas:

White:
Prosecco vini dei Bottega
Vermentino Uggiano Toscane
Pecorino Velenosi

Red:
Lambrusco di Modena bio
Montepulcciano d'Abbruzzo
I Sicani Néro d'Avola
Barolo Antica cantina
Amarone Valpollicella

These recommended wines, which can be purchased at Nicolas, are indicative only. Given the diversity of the course topics, recommending only one wine would not be representative of the content of the session, so we recommend several wines. The wines in bold are good value for the quality and/or wines at the most reasonable prices.
