Learn the ABC's of Italian Wine

Can’t pronounce “Fiano d’Avellino,” let alone describe its taste?

Savona, Gulph Mills’ upscale French and Italian restaurant, hopes to change that.

On Friday, January 9 at 5:30 p.m., Savona’s sommelier, Melissa Monosoff, will host an evening of wine tasting and education that will feature six wines from southern Italy, including: Fiano d’Avellino, Greco di Tufo, Grillo, Nero d’Avola, Primativo and Aglianico.

The event costs $35 per person, and includes samples of each vintage (three whites and three reds), as well as hors d’oeuvres prepared by Savona’s executive chef Andrew Masciangelo.
