Twin Cities Wine Education presents VINO ITALIANO, a four-week celebration of Italian wines.

Pizza Party + Wines of Southern Italy

Few combinations bring people together quite like pizza and wine. For this festive evening, we'll celebrate one of Italy's greatest culinary gifts while exploring the vibrant wines of the country's southern regions.

Join sommelier Jason Kallsen for a relaxed and delicious tasting featuring a variety of pizzas paired with wines from the sun-drenched vineyards of southern Italy. From Campania and Puglia to Basilicata and Calabria, we'll discover regions that have been making wine for thousands of years yet remain overlooked by many American consumers. These warm-climate areas produce wines bursting with character, personality, and a natural affinity for the foods that define Italian cuisine.

Along the way, we'll explore why certain wines shine when paired with pizza, how different toppings influence pairing decisions, and what makes southern Italian wines among the best values in the wine world today. Expect great food, fascinating wines, lively conversation, and perhaps a few surprises as we discover that some of Italy's most enjoyable bottles come from the country's southern reaches.
