Il Veneto in un Bicchiere wine tasting event

At the end of December I had an opportunity to attend a wine tasting lunch at Via Tevere hosted by Sommelier Mireille Sauvé founder of The Wine Umbrella. It was a delightful afternoon that found me, a wine novice, mixing with wine enthusiasts, restaurant sommeliers and expert wine reviewers. So you will notice there are no tasting notes here just my own observations.

The wines were excellent and they paired well with the lunch served. If you’re easily horrified don’t read this next sentence. I’m still a big fan of wine tasting paired with food and following Anthony Giglio‘s @winewiseguy (“Online Sommelier” for the FOOD & WINE Magazine’s Connoisseur Club), three sip, no spitting method of wine tasting.

I’ve included below the background information provided on the wine region Veneto, locations and list of the member wineries of Il Veneto in un Bicchiere.

Here are the wines poured, Montelvini Treviso Prosecco DOP available at Broadway Wine Store, Pieropan wines are in select restaurants (Hawksworth is one), others wines pending an agent locally:

IL VENETO IN UN BICCHIERE

Veneto Region

Veneto distinguishes itself as the primary Region for wine production in Italy, encompassing by itself almost 20% of the Italian DOC wines.

This record, born from tradition, gains strength year after year thanks to the constant research for quality, from the vine to the table. The strongest aspect is the extreme variety of wine offered: from whites to reds, from sparkling to meditation wines, with niche-labels that are very much in demand. The quality of Veneto wine is actually recognized by the increasing demand from foreign markets: as of today, 75% of Veneto’s DOC wines are exported. An exporting tradition that goes back thousands of years, which continues to consolidate and to gain strength not only because of the many market demands and changes it must

IL VENETO IN UN BICCHIERE
