Tucked into Italy's northwest corner, where the Alps curl around a sea of hills, sits a region that doesn't shout. Tuscany has the postcards. Piedmont has the wine. Its name literally means "foot of the mountain," and that geography explains almost everything about what ends up in your glass here: cool air spilling down from the peaks, fog pooling in the valleys at harvest, and slopes angled just right to catch the last of the warm autumn sun.

Some wine events are memorable. A very small number are rare. On Tuesday, March 3rd, the Wine Wave is honored to host Marco Dal Forno, the visionary force behind Dal Forno Romano, widely regarded as one of the greatest wineries in Italy. This is a rare, limited-seating experience designed for serious wine lovers, collectors, and those who want to understand what relentless quality, patience, and vision look like in practice.

To taste the wines of Dal Forno Romana with Marco himself is a rare opportunity to engage directly with the driving force of the winery, with Marco offering insight into his vineyards, philosophy, and the relentless standards that have brought the winery global acclaim.

This is not a walk-thru tasting. It is an immersive experience meant to award curiosity, attentiveness, and respect for the craft. To preserve the intimacy of the evening and allow for meaningful interaction, seating is strictly limited. Once capacity is reached, no additional seats will be released.

On the steep hillsides of Oslavia, a small border village between Italy and Slovenia, stands one of the most influential wineries of the natural wine world: Radikon. Known for their deeply amber, skin-contact whites and unflinching commitment to purity, Radikon has helped redefine what Friuli wines can be.

Today, Saša Radikon continues the legacy of his late father Stanko, guiding the estate into a new generation without compromising the vision that changed wine forever.

Join us for an evening in Tuscany on Friday November 7th with the wines of Col di Lamo hosted by the owner/winemaker Gianna Neri. We will dive into her Rosso and Brunello offeings that transform the Sangiovese grape from the Montalcino region within Tuscany, Italy.
