“We felt the need to precede the tasting evenings in restaurants with two moments of focus on tasting techniques and knowledge of the winemaking history of Valtenesi and Garda Bresciano in general – explains the President of the Brotherhood Massimo Piergentili -. Some three producers will present their wines and, at the end of dinner, we will challenge them to recognize each of their product served until then blindly “.
