Giorgio Colutta!
July 9th | 6:00 - 7:00pm
... Join us next week in Planet Wine as we welcome famed winemaker Giorgio Colutta from Friuli, Italy! He'll be hosting a casual seated wine class and share some of his vast knowledge of the Friuli wine region, all while sharing six of his fine Italian wines! In 1984, Giorgio Colutta announced to his father that he did not want to follow the family career path of being a pharmacist. Instead, Giorgio decided to take the 18 hectare family estate and create an eponymous winery. Located in the heart of Colli Orientali, one of the two most important DOCs in Italy for Pinot Grigio, the focus at Colutta is on making extremely high quality wines that show typicity of the varietal and the character of the land. At high elevation, but without being surrounded by the mountains that create a natural boundary for the rest of Italy, Friuli has always been seen as an area well suited for both indigenous (aka Pinot Grigio and Ribolla Gialla) and "international" (aka Bordeaux) varietals. The winery itself focuses on low intervention in the vineyards and minimizing environmental impact in the winery. Colutta is making the sort of mineral-rich, aromatic whites and lean, complex reds emblematic of wine from the eastern hills of Friuli. Your $39 Ticket Includes:
Seated wine class with with Giorgio Colutta
Tasting of six fine Italian Wines from Colutta
Small serving of artisanal cheese to accompany your tasting
Discounts on bottle purchases of all wines tasted | | | | | | | |
