Wine, salumi, and cheese tasting with five Italian winemakers.

The Italians are coming to Market Hall! Spend an afternoon in the sun-warmed courtyard above Market Hall immersed in the bella vita of great Italian regional wines and food and friendly Italian vignaioli (winegrowers).

Winemakers from these estates will be here from Italy to pour and talk about their wines:

Filippo Gallino (Piemonte - Roero)
Renzo Castella (Piemonte - Barolo)
Sassotondo (Tuscany)
Arnaldo-Caprai (Umbria)
Ruggeri (Veneto)
d'Antiche Terre (Campania)
Colterenzio (Alto Adige/Südtirol)

Taste classic regional wines with these producers, including Roero Arneis, Bianco di Pitigliano, Prosecco di Valdobbiadene, Barbera d'Alba, Montefalco, Taurasi, and more.

The Pasta Shop will present a selection of Italian salumi and cheeses to go with the wines.
