2025 EVENTS
An event not to be missed!
Jessica Acciaroli, GM of Máté, will be presenting Máté wines.
Candace Maté crafts brilliant wines at this small, family winery in Santa Restituta, nestled between the estates of Angelo Gaja & Gianfranco Soldera. She is now assisted by the ex-Agronomist of Col d’Orcia; he is considered one of the very best in Brunello.
The exclusive walk-around tasting will feature 90 exceptional labels from 30 esteemed Brunello producers, offering an unparalleled opportunity to explore the elegance and diversity of one of Italy’s most celebrated wine regions.
The event will be enriched by two educational seminars (by invite only) hosted by Italy’s first Master of Wine, Gabriele Gorelli.
