I Clivi Wine Tasting (Organic Friuli): May 15

The Lower Falls Wine Co. will be holding a special wine tasting on Thursday, May 15, from 5-6:30pm. Ferdinando Zanusso of I Clivi will be there pouring his Organic wines from the Friuli region of Italy.

"I Clivi wines are produced from old vines grown in ancient vineyard parcels in Friuli, the small "ear" that juts out from the Northeast corner of Italy. Ferdinando practices organic farming, low yield cultivation and minimal cellar intervention to allow the land to speak directly through the wines. His total production is only 2000 cases and he is committed to releasing the wines only when they have achieved sufficient maturity. The results of this passionate, nurturing, land-based approach are wines of gorgeous purity and finesse."

Wines to be tasted:
1997, 1999, 2003 Galea Bianco Colli Orientali del Friuli D.O.C.
2002 Brazan Bianco Collio D.O.C.
2000 Galea Rosso
