Fine white sand beaches. Crystal clear waters. Soaring granite mountains. These are just the first sights you’ll see on the islands of Italy. 

But below the surface, the islands were formed by volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. And explorers have added layers of civilization one on top of the other ever since. One of those historical layers is a wine culture that spans back over 5000 years. 

In this special Italian Wine Experience, author Tony Margiotta takes you on an adventure in paradise through Italy’s most prominent islands: Sicily and Sardegna. 

You’ll discover:

-What Makes Italy's Island Wines Unique
-A Sicilian Grape Once Found In Bordeaux and Barolo 
-They Say You’ll Live 100 Years If You Drink This Wine
-Why A Grape From Sicily Was Named After Calabria
-4 Wine & Food Pairing Ideas That Taste Like Paradise
-and much more! 

We’ll be tasting 4 hard-to-find local artisan wines from the Italian islands. 

Join us for some paradise wines and enrichment while Tony Margiotta shares with you the story in the bottle.  

Please place your order by April 11 so the wines deliver before the class date. 

After you order, you’ll receive the Zoom link to join the class. 

A portion of the proceeds from every order will be donated to NIAF. 

We thank you in advance for supporting NIAF and small artisan winemakers in Italy!!!

*We ship to all states EXCEPT Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, Hawaii, and Alaska
