Wine at the castle

ITALY, LAND OF WINE - NEW TRENDS BETWEEN MODERN AND CLASSIC

The history of Italian viticulture shows that the focus on quality winegrowing only intensified in the 1980s, largely due to the transition to bottling in standard glass bottles. Historically, Italy did not have a tradition of long-term storage of fine wines as in Bordeaux or Burgundy.

But the 1990s marked a turning point: the renowned wine-growing regions of Piedmont and Tuscany began a rapid catch-up. In addition to modern bottle designs that aesthetically highlight Italian wines, advanced cellar techniques such as must cooling also contributed to improving the quality of southern wines from regions such as Abruzzo, Apulia and Sicily. Supported by the flourishing Italian gastronomy scene in Germany, Mediterranean wine culture continues to enjoy great popularity in this country.

Christian Löw, certified oenologist and wine merchant of the year 2018, would like you to make some special and exciting discoveries during this wine evening. He will introduce you to this fine Mediterranean variety of grape varieties with his popular simultaneous tasting.

Look forward to an exciting and enjoyable evening with Christian Löw and our dedicated Schloss Saareck team in service and kitchen.
