The walk around tasting will be preceded by a seminar providing a topical insight into the wines of Italy, which will be addressed by the IGM President, Marchese Piero Antinori, of Marchesi Antinori and feature a panel discussion exploring the opportunities and challenges facing Italian wine.
The IGM was established to promote the culture of high quality Italian wine on world markets. It unites families and brands which characterise the Italian winemaking tradition - each one extremely innovative yet highly representative of the production of their region. Its members share 3,000 years of winemaking history and include such renowned producers as Biondi Santi, Pio Cesare, Masi, Alois Lageder, Jermann, Donnafugata, Tenuta San Guido and Marchesi Antinori.
The event is open to Masters of Wine, students of the Institute, members of the wine trade and private individuals with a serious interest in fine wine.
Tickets, priced at £50 each (MW and Institute student discounts apply), are available from the Institute. Contact Helen Williams, Events Manager, for further information via her hwilliams@mastersofwine.org email or visit the Events section of the website.
