Trebbiano doesn't exist: tasting of wines from rare grape varieties in Florence to go beyond Sangiovese

Here is what's in store for you

Are tired of having the usual Chianti or Sangiovese of Tuscany in your glass? Do you want to go beyond the usual Bolgheri, Brunello, Montepulciano, etc, and discover what else the Tuscan territory has to offer? Then the "Trebbiano Doesn't Exist" wine experience is for you!

You will have the opportunity to taste Tuscan wine beyond Sangiovese while staying comfortably in downtown Florence, train your senses with unusual scents and aromas, and embrace an unexpected delight! Accept the challenge of surprising yourself with the personality that Trebbiano Toscano and Orpicchio, its biotype and relic grape variety saved from extinction, can bring out. Forget those impersonal, paper-white wines that are the result of the widespread mistreatment of Trebbiano Toscano. Discover the personality it can bring out you know how to wait... because "Trebbiano" (echoing the words of producer Paolo Marchionni) "is like a shy person, it is impossible to expect it to present itself to you with all its qualities within 3 minutes, but if you spend a whole afternoon with it slowly it will be able to amaze you!"
