Northern vs Southern Italy Wine Dinner

Wednesday, May 14th at Foxcroft Greenville | 7pm
Price includes ticket, tax and gratuity

Northern and Southern Italian wine regions offer distinct styles shaped by their climates, landscapes, and traditions. The north, with regions like Piedmont, Veneto, and Trentino-Alto Adige, features cooler temperatures and Alpine influences, producing elegant, structured wines like Barolo, Amarone, and crisp Pinot Grigio. In contrast, the south, including Sicily, Puglia, and Campania, enjoys a warm, Mediterranean climate that yields bold, fruit-forward wines such as Nero d'Avola, Primitivo, and Aglianico. While northern wines often showcase higher acidity and complexity, southern wines tend to be richer, riper, and more approachable, reflecting the sun-drenched terroir of the region.
