These wines got some 'tude! Attitude AND altitude. The mountain wines of Italy, Spain and Switzerland are fresh and intense.
Instructor: Clarke Boehling
Take your wine exploration to a higher level with this tour of Alpine wines from Italy (Valle d'Aosta and Piedmont), France (Savoie and Jura), and even Switzerland! Why are high-altitude (mountain) wines so cool? First is freshness – these have lower alcohol and higher acidity than their flatlander friends. Second is intensity – higher altitude means more intense sunlight, resulting in vibrant wines with more antioxidants. And who doesn't want more antioxidants?
