Wine Dinner
Peter Neptune and the wines of Marche, Abruzzo, and Umbria
Wednesday, September 25, 6:00 PM
Explore Central Italy with Master Sommelier Peter Neptune and chef Marco Criscuolo
This Five-Course Wine Dinner will showcase the exceptional wines and exquisite cuisine of three distinct and renowned Italian regions: Umbria, Marche, and Abruzzo
Umbria, the “green heart” of Italy, is renowned for its tranquil countryside and ancient winemaking practices. Marche, nestled along Italy’s Adriatic coast, is known for its diverse landscapes—from rolling hills to coastal plains—this region produces wines with refreshing character and depth. Finally, Abruzzo, with its rugged terrain and historical winemaking traditions, brings to the table hearty wines that are a reflection of the region’s robust and spirited heritage.
