Monday, November 11th at Foxcroft Birkdale

Price includes ticket ($49), tax, and gratuity

The Barolo wine region, located in northwestern Italy's Piedmont area, is renowned for producing exceptional Nebbiolo grapes. Encompassing picturesque communes like Barolo, La Morra, and Serralunga d'Alba, the region benefits from clay and limestone soils, as well as a temperate climate that promotes slow grape ripening. Barolo wines are distinguished by their complex flavors, resulting from strict regulations governing vineyard practices and winemaking techniques. With its hilly landscape and charming villages, Barolo offers a rich cultural heritage, making it a popular destination for wine enthusiasts. The region's prestigious Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) status ensures the quality and authenticity of its wines, solidifying Barolo's reputation as the "King of Wines."

This masterclass will be led by Crystal Whitcroft from D&P Selezioni, representing a collection of boutique wineries from Italy’s most notable regions, focusing on small, artisanal, and family-owned estates. Crystal will guide you on a journey through the region, exploring the terroir, laws, and traditional characteristics while tasting six wines. Light shared appetizers will also be served to enhance your experience.
