Beyond Nebbiolo & Sangiovese. The Italian Grapes Young Somms Should Be Selling Now

Italy’s most famous grapes may still dominate the conversation, but some of the country’s most exciting opportunities are found just beyond the usual names. This masterclass is designed for young sommeliers looking for distinctive, versatile and list-friendly Italian wines that can bring fresh energy to by-the-glass programmes and wine pairings.

The session will explore a selection of lesser-known Italian varieties with strong potential in the New York market, such as Timorasso, Schioppettino, Frappato, Pecorino, Carricante, Nerello Mascalese, Nosiola, Verdicchio, Pelaverga, Schiava, Catarratto and Greco.

Through a focused tasting of 6 to 8 wines, participants will examine why these grapes matter now, how they perform on a modern wine list, and how to sell them with confidence to curious guests.
