Exploring the Rich Diversity of Northern Italy

On November 11th, I am hosting a fine wine tasting in the evening which is dedicated to fine Italian wines, hosted at the wine bar of Sinck Amsterdam. This renowned restaurant, founded four years ago by Sabas Joosten, former sommelier of the acclaimed De Librije, offers an inviting environment perfect for wine lovers. During this tasting we will dive into the elegance of northern Italy’s wine regions, exploring selections from Piedmont, Alto Adige, Lombardy, and Veneto. Each wine has been chosen to reflect the unique characteristics of the region and its traditional varieties.

What can you expect?

I will be covering 8 wines during the evening. This experience will take you through distinct white wines from Alto Adige and Piedmont, showcasing the unique varietals and expressions from these two northern regions. Each white wine offers a glimpse into the diverse terroirs that define Italy’s northern landscape.

Then, we will move to the reds, exploring the nuances of Nebbiolo-based blends from Lombardy and Piedmont, comparing how this iconic grape reveals itself across regional styles. To highlight the character and aging potential of Nebbiolo, we will finish with a special tasting of Barolo and Barbaresco. This side-by-side comparison will offer insight into the distinct qualities of these neighboring wines, crafted from the same grape yet with profoundly different characteristics.

Details

The tasting is priced at €64.95 per person, including 8 wines, and a spread of fresh Italian snacks, featuring delicacies such as prosciutto, burrata and gorgonzola. Each wine will be accompanied by a selection of delectable treats carefully chosen to complement its flavor profile.
