(May 6 2016) The Italian Cultural Institute in Sydney offers a tour of Italian wines and a trip to the Italian regions with their excellent wines: the first night of the event organised by the Cultural Institute in collaboration with Osteria Balla Manfredi will be dedicated to Piedmont and four of its wines: Arneis, Timorasso, Barbera, and Nebbiolo. The event is schedule for May 12, at the Institute from 18:00 to 20:30. “It is impossible to generalise when speaking of Italian wines in a contemporary context- as can be read in the presentation of the event. It is still possible to use the generic term ‘modern Italian wines’, sinch such a definition could apply only to a fraction of the extraordinary Italian wine production, part of which still uses traditional and even out of fashion methods. It would be a mistake not to focus on the best Italian wines that have experiences tremendous success internationally, many of which are produced using highly innovative methods. The Italian fine wines have really taken off in the world of food and many Italian wine produces, both traditionalists and innovators appreciated throughout the world.
