I went to the Tre Bicchieri tasting the afternoon before Wine Fair. This was the second time for my wife and I, and the previous time (in 2011) was also on the afternoon before the Wine Fair. I have to be honest and say that I am not really that familiar with Italian wines outside the popular denominations, although I have tried a good number of obscure Italian grapes too. One of the wines I tasted for the first time at this event was Sfursat from Valtellina. Another first was a Bianco di Custoza by Monte del Fra. I had also got to re-acquaint myself with Lugana and Morellino di Scansano, though previous wines I had tasted were far from award winners. There were also some very interesting wines from Elena Walsh, a top grower from Alto-Adige.
