The lovely Costa dell’Argentario in the Maremma region of southern Tuscany.

Tickets for our Saturday, October 30th winetasting are now on sale at Sottoprovisions.com! This month, we're featuring wines from the coastal Maremma region in southwest Tuscany -- a relatively new (by Italian winemaking standards) and exciting wine producing frontier.

We'll be tasting three terrific wines from the region: a crisp, well-structured Vermentino -- Vermentino being indigenous to the Maremma -- from Poggio al Tesoro; Ampeleia's Unlitro a luscious blend of local and Tuscany-based grapes; and the pièce de résitance, Rocca di Frasinello's Maremma Toscana Ornello, a "Super Tuscan' wine made with Maremma-grown Italian and French grape varieties. As always, we’ve put together a mix of Maremma-based antipasti pairings designed to complement the wines. And your host for the evening will be none other than Pizzeria Verità’s own Leslie Wells, who’s freshly returned from a trip to – you guessed it – the Maremma!

Once again, we are offering guests the choice of attending in person or virtually, via Zoom. There are several choices for attending:

• Live, In-Person Tasting, plus Antipasti

• Zoom, with 6-ounce Tasting-Sized Pours and Antipasti (enough for two)

• Zoom, with full bottles of each wine plus Antipasti for two

• Zoom, with both tasting pours and bottles of each wine, plus antipasti for two

We hope you'll be able to join us, and if you're attending live, we hope you'll have dinner with us after the event at Pizzeria Verità or Trattoria Delia. If you'd like to do so, please include a note with your order or give us a call at 802-864-5253. Salut!
