SUMMARY:Wines of Tejo Tasting & Masterclasses in Manchester - "Portugal's undiscovered wine region defined by its great river" 
DESCRIPTION:11 of Tejo’s leading producers are bringing a selection of their diverse\, relevant and exceptional value wines to Manchester! \nPortugal’s oldest\, fifth largest and least discovered wine region\, Tejo is a close winemaking community located 30 minutes inland from Lisbon\, dominated by the River Tejo which runs through the heart of the wine growing area imparting a distinctive freshness to all of its wines with its cool breezes and morning mists which cover the valley. The region’s multitude of microclimates\, abundance of indigenous and international varieties and distinctive terroirs create a rich breadth of styles from everyday drinking to complex\, estate grown wines. \nThe tasting will include two in-depth masterclasses led by Tejo expert Dirceu Vianna Junior MW – one taking a deep dive into the region’s two flagship varieties and the other focussing on Tejo’s diverse terroirs and microclimates. \nThere will also be a chance to taste wines from Campo do Tejo. Fresh\, vibrant\, zesty\, lower alcohol whites made from the Tejo’s flagship grape Fernão Pires by a collaboration of wineries from the Campo terroir on the banks of the Tejo. \nCome and be surprised by Tejo Wines! \n4 producers are already in the market and 7 are looking for UK distribution.

SUMMARY:CWW - Let's talk about... Trebbiano in Tuscany with Åsa Johansson
DESCRIPTION:In the next of the Circle’s Let’s talk about… webinars Asa Johansson\, freelance writer for Swedish and international publications and a specialist in Italian wines\, will be joined by three prominent producers to explain how the often-overlooked Trebbiano Toscano is experiencing a resurgence in its homeland. As usual\, the webinar is on a Tuesday at 5pm UK time\, with advance registration.  \nTraditionally\, Trebbiano Toscano was relegated to simple white table wines or blended into Chianti and Vin Santo. However\, many producers in Chianti Classico are now investing in the variety with the aim of crafting age-worthy quality wines. Identical to France’s Ugni Blanc\, it remains one of Italy’s most widely planted grapes\, ranking fifth with more than 20\,000 hectares under vine. Among white-wine grapes\, only Catarratto has a larger footprint there. \nThree prominent figures in this renaissance will join Asa: Stefano Capurso\, CEO of Dievole; Sofia Ruhne\, owner of Terreno; and young winemakers and owners Maddalena Fucile and Matteo Vaccari from Cigliano di Sopra. They will share their insights on Tuscany’s rising star and its journey back into the spotlight. \nTopics to be explored will be the historical significance of Trebbiano in Tuscan viticulture and winemaking\, the challenges and opportunities from vineyard to bottle\, and the wine styles that producers are focusing on today. \nAsa\, a Circle member\, moved to Italy from Sweden in 2001. She writes on wine\, food and travel for Decanter\, Quench Magazine\, Corriere Vinicolo\, Svenksa Dagbladet and more. She started Sweden’s first podcast on Italian wines\, Italienpodden.se and produces her own Tuscan extra virgin olive oil\, La Collina Blu. \nTo join this seminar\, please register now or at any time before 5pm BST on Tuesday 17th September. The session\, including Q&As\, will last for approximately one hour. To register\, follow the link below. Guests will be very welcome\, but please let Andrea know their names. \nRegister here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMsc-6qrD8tEtY7dLZ6vzKPlxBsr8ArFxS1  \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
