The action begins with a series of deep-dive tastings featuring visiting Italian winemakers Giuseppe Vajra (G.D. Vajra), David Fletcher (Fletcher Wines), Nicola Oberto (Trediberri), Elisa Scavino (Paolo Scavino), Simone Revello (Revello) and Pietro Colla (Poderi Colla). They represent the next generation of talent working across Italy's revered Piedmont region, and they each bring their own unique take on great wines made with nebbiolo to Tasting Australia.

Guiding the group throughout the morning will be South Australian nebbiolo star Steve Pannell (S.C. Pannell Wines), who has lead the charge to make great nebbiolo wines in the Adelaide Hills.

Plenty of Italian-leaning lunch options will be on hand before a grand afternoon walkabout tasting featuring nebbiolo wines from the Adelaide Hills, South Australia and of course Italy. Eat, drink and be merry as we celebrate the art of making and enjoying great nebbiolo. FORZA!
