Wine tasting can be a powerful, transportive experience! We believe that the multi-sensory experience, especially when shared, can stimulate crystal-clear memories and nostalgia.

When you are stuck at home during a quarantine, the next best thing to actually traveling is a glass of wine. Even better in company, on the phone or, in this case, on video.

Virtual Wine Tasting

In this video we take you through the wine tasting process start to finish, including all four steps: Look, Smell, Taste, and Converse. We also also explain why the wine looks, smells, and tastes the way it does, and we touch on the concept of terroir.

Learn about Valtellina Wine

We’ll talk about the Appellation Valtellina Superiore and the five cru vineyards where the wines come from.

Valtellina Superiore wine are made from a local clone of Nebbiolo, known as Chiavennasca. The wines have a lot in common with their Nebbiolo-based brothers Barolo and Barbaresco.

Join the Conversation

During the video you’ll also hear why this wine is so special, get a little gossip, and hopefully through the magic of cinema, get a taste (no pun intended) of what it’s like to visit Valtellina. We welcome your questions and wine stories in the YouTube comment section! Your input and the community we create helps to bring this virtual space to life.

Find The Wine

Valtellina is a lesser known wine region as Italian wine goes, so you won’t find it at every local store. We tracked it down in NYC at a few places, including:

Shop Wine.Com , Drizly, or Wine Searcher for Valtellina Superiore.
