Wine producers from Brunello di Montalcino, Chianti Classico, Nobile di Montepulciano and Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore featured in 2012 American tour

 More than 100 Italian wine producers from four pre-eminent DOCG regions of Italy will be represented at the Italian Wine Masters events, which will be held in early February of 2012. The Italian Wine Masters will tour New York on February 7 at the Metropolitan Pavilion, andSan Francisco on February 9 at the San Francisco Terra Gallery.

 “We will be featuring wines from among the leading wine regions of Italy, and the tastings really offer a superb overview of the world of Italian wines as it continues to evolve to meet the demands of the global market,” say representatives from the Italian Wine Masters.

The events, which will be organized by Balzac Communications & Marketing, will include both seminars and trade tastings. Trade tasting participants will experience a rare opportunity to preview and taste the finest selections from Brunello di Montalcino, Chianti Classico, Nobile di Montepulciano, and Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore.

The seminars, held earlier in the day, will focus on Prosecco and the great appellations of Tuscany. The New York seminars will be taught by wine educator Tracy Ellen Kamens, CWE, DWS, and the San Francisco seminars will be taught by Tim Gaiser, MS, and Education Chair for the Master Sommeliers.
