For the latest Decanter reader event, Tuscany is coming to London. Avignonesi, established in 1974, showcases the diversity of this great region by showcasing four vintages each from two of its top wines; one based on Sangiovese, the other on Merlot.
This will be a fantastic opportunity to taste the wines with winemaker Alessio Gorini. The first half of the tasting will be dedicated to ‘Poggetto di Sopra’, part of a project with four other notable wineries in Montepulciano to rediscover the terroir expression of Sangiovese through single-vineyard bottlings.
Following this, a four-vintage vertical of Avignonesi’s 100% Merlot, ‘Desiderio’ will give you a taste of how international varieties flourish in the region alongside native grape varieties.
