Deb
Mortillaro from Dreadnought will present two grapes, a German
Riesling and an Italian Corvina, and show us what changes occur in the taste as
the winemakers alter their techniques.
If there’s one wine that is often misunderstood, it’s
Riesling. With the wide variety of styles,
ranging from very dry to extremely sweet, it can be difficult to decipher which
one will suit your taste. Deb will guide
us through the Wonderful World of Riesling and the amazing German words that
accompany those styles (practice saying Trockenbeerenauslese).
Corvina, sometimes referred to as Corvina Veronese,
is the grape from which Valpolicella is made, both in the Ripasso style and the
Classico. It’s also used in the
production of Amarone and Recioto. These are premium wines, and premium
information, so prepare for a real treat!
