Featured Event - Sicilian Wine Tasting
SICILIAN WINE CLASS WITH GUNTHER DI GIOVANNA
Saturday, July 18th at 2:00pm
Di Giovanna is an estate situated at Sicily's geographic center with vineyards located high above the floating land that are managed in full respect to organic farming principles. The Di Giovannas have been viticulturist for more than five generations in Sicily, which explains the extreme passion with which brothers, Gunther and Klaus Di Giovanna, approach their daily tasks. A mixed Sicilian and German heritage results in an energetic, though slightly atypical, mix of hard working attitude and straight-shooting intuition. With the help of famed consulting enologist, Riccardo Cotarella, the Di Giovanna winery is one of the emerging stars of Sicilian winemaking. Read More
