28.09.18: Italy Revisited

It was the ancient Greeks that named Italy "Oenotria", the "Land of wine", which just goes to show that this extensive winemaking culture goes back a very long way. Each region in Italy has its own set of grape varieties and styles of wines produced. Some of them are more famous, such as the big Barolos and awesome Amarones of the North or the charming Chiantis of central Italy, but there are many other less well-known regions and grape varieties that are equally exciting. Join us on this unique tasting, where Richard Volpi of Armit Wines will introduce us to a wide range of wines from each region, and also explore the history and changes that have occurred over time. THE LINE-UP WHITE WINES Agricola Punica, "Samas" 2017 Bruno Giacosa, Roero Arneis 2017 Cantine Lunae, Vermentino 2017 Tenuta dell’Ornellaia, "Poggio alle Gazze" 2016 RED WINES Agricola Punica, "Montessu" 2015 Tenuta dell’Ornellaia, "Le Volte" 2016 Sesti, "Monteleccio" 2015 Musella, Valpolicello Superiore Ripasso 2015 Fattoria Le Pupille, Morellino di Scansano Riserva 2014 Tenuta dell’Ornellaia, "Le Serre Nuove" 2015

Our in-store tutored wine tasting events are held on a monthly basis; a great way to relax, have fun and learn about wines that you may learn to love.
 
During our wine tasting events, we do not aim to judge wines, styles and producers, we just want to have a relaxed and informed conversation about what we have in our glasses (read this article from The Guardian).
 
The presenters have often travelled the world and besides the information, their interesting stories and anecdotes that give “flesh” to behind the wines and producers.
 
Wine is much more that just a drink, it is a product of different cultures, family’s and traditions. A real wine tasting must always be focused on those concepts.
 
Therefore, in order to fully understand its values, it is necessary to learn more about its history and territory. At Hay Wines we do not want to arrange wine tastings, we aim to share our passion and to offer a more complete experience!
 
Tutored whisky tastings are held every 3 months and are a great way to explore the extensive range of whiskies available, and discover styles you enjoy the most.
 
We arrange wine events, beer or whisky tastings at venues, or our shop, for groups of up to 30 people, a Food & Wine matching service can also be provided.
 
We also attend Food & Wine festivals and exhibitions around the UK, where you can meet us, and taste a range of interesting products including fine wines, whiskies, a large range of liqueurs, spirits, beers, ciders, perries and… even a chocolate wine!
 
We hold a free wine tasting in store every Saturday, where we always have a couple of bottles open for you to try, all alongside the myriad of spirits, liqueurs and whiskies always available to taste on a daily basis.
