Italian Whites

This lineup showcases white wines shaped by place—each bottle a reflection of altitude, soil, and the character of its origin. Drawn from mountain slopes, volcanic soils, and terraced coastlines, these wines reveal how extreme terroir influences texture, depth, and structure. This tasting also shows that international and native grape varieties can appear side by side in harmony, often in unconventional blends, highlighting the experimental spirit driving Italy’s modern white winemaking.

Reserve your spot to discover how Italy’s most distinctive landscapes come alive through these unexpected, age-worthy whites.
