Italy is home to more native grape varieties than any other wine-producing country, making it one of the most exciting places in the world to explore through a glass. To mark International Fiano Day, we’re celebrating not just one remarkable grape, but the incredible diversity of Italian wine, from elegant northern whites to bold southern reds and everything in between.
Fiano is one of Italy’s finest indigenous white varieties, prized for its richness, texture, and remarkable ability to age. It perfectly represents what makes Italian wine so special: regional character, centuries of tradition, and an unwavering connection to food and place. Throughout the evening, we’ll explore seven carefully selected wines from across Italy, including a standout Fiano, while discovering the country’s extraordinary range of styles.
Hosted by one of Loki’s wine experts, this relaxed and engaging tasting is perfect whether you’re already an Italian wine enthusiast or simply looking to discover why Italy remains one of the world’s favourite wine destinations.
