Fall Italian Wine Class

with Tony Margiotta

NIAF Italian Wine Class
Thursday September 25, 2025
7pm ET on Zoom


  • ​Origin: Estate Bottled & Produced At The Origin
  • Craft: Handcrafted Wine In Limited Quantities
  • Culture: Made By Italian Locals Who Live and Breath Wine
All wines in this collection were produced between 1,000 bottles and 40,000 bottles annually. True, small production wines, sculpted and finessed into delicious works of art. These craft wines from Italy will redefine the meaning of delicious. In 5-10 business days you'll be sipping on mouthwatering flavors of the Mediterranean. Enjoy!

Class Wine List:
Duca di Dolle Prosecco Superiore cuvee (Veneto)
20,000 bottles handcrafted per annum
**Forget everything you think you know about Prosecco.
Most people have only ever tasted the mass-market, sweet, party-starter version. The one in our fall class is none of those things. Duca di Dolle is a small-production estate in the heart of the Prosecco Superiore Valdobbiadene DOCG, where the vines grow on steep, ancient hillsides and yields are tiny. The wine is clean and dry, with a fine, silky mousse, soft bubbles, complex notes of white flowers, crisp pear, and minerality. Think of it less like a soda-pop sparkler, and more like an elegant fine wine from Champagne’s artisanal cousin in Italy. Even if you “don’t drink bubbles,” this will surprise you—and possibly convert you.
Castellucci Miano Nero d'Avola (Sicilia)
10,000 bottles handcrafted per annum
TerreSacre Neravite Rosso Montepulciano (Molise)
30,000 bottles handcrafted per annum

ONE TIME OFFER $57 (Retail Value $95) 183 BOTTLES REMAINING!: 2019 Brunello di Montalcino by Corte dei Venti: A Vintage That Stands Tall. You’ve had Brunello before. You know the name, the prestige, the reverence. But 2019? This isn’t just another vintage. This is the one collectors whisper about, the one connoisseurs are stockpiling, the one that will be remembered. The Consortium of Brunello di Montalcino—the gatekeepers of this legendary wine—bestowed the 2019 vintage with a rare and coveted 5-star rating. A declaration of excellence. A signal to the world that this is not just good Brunello—it’s the kind that makes history. And history has a way of surprising us. For years, 2015 and 2016 were the undisputed kings of Brunello. The vintages that set the standard, that filled cellars, that everyone assumed would reign for decades. But then came 2019—with its perfect balance of elegance and power, depth and precision—and suddenly, the conversation shifted. Because 2019 isn’t here to follow in their footsteps. It’s here to challenge them. To compete with the coveted 2015 and 2016 vintages—and maybe, just maybe, cast a long shadow over them. A near-perfect growing season. Cool nights, warm days, just the right amount of struggle. The kind of conditions that don’t just make a great Brunello—they make a legendary one. The 2019 Brunello is bold, structured, and destined for greatness. Rich with dark cherries, crushed violets, and the kind of earthy depth that only time will fully unveil. And yet, here’s the catch—when it’s gone, it’s gone. No second chances. No re-releases. Just one fleeting opportunity to own a piece of history. You already planned to buy a bottle. But let’s be honest—you’ll regret not grabbing a second. Years from now, when you're opening that last bottle, swirling the glass, inhaling its evolution, you’ll wish you had just one more. So consider this your one-time offer—a chance to secure an extra bottle of the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino by Corte del Venti at a price that won’t come again. Because the best things in life? They never last long.

"Forget everything you think you know about Prosecco."
Most people have only ever tasted the mass-market, sweet, party-starter version. The one in our fall class is none of those things. Duca di Dolle is a small-production estate in the heart of the Prosecco Superiore DOCG, where the vines grow on steep, ancient hillsides and yields are tiny. The wine is bone-dry, with a fine, silky mousse and complex notes of white flowers, crisp pear, and mountain herbs. Think of it less like a soda-pop sparkler, and more like an elegant aperitif from Champagne’s artisanal cousin in Italy. Even if you “don’t drink bubbles,” this will surprise you—and possibly convert you.

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.
