# Shades of Italian Terroir - a tasting of minimal intervention wines

**Guidekin's take:** The longest running English language wine tastings in the city, held in a dedicated tasting room with no outsiders and focused on minimal intervention wines chosen through long contacts with winemakers, rated 4.98 across 52 reviews. Six tasting pours, water and taralli crackers are included at €64 per person. Adults only for the tasting.

## Overview

We offer Rome's first and longest-running Italian wine tastings in English (since 2008) and are the only provider with a dedicated tasting space, designed solely for this purpose, with no interruptions nor outsiders on the premises. Our experience and long-standing contacts with winemakers all over Italy allow us to select the best wines for curious wine drinkers and teaching them with best didactic practices, while keeping the experience light and fresh.

All of the wines we pour at VinoRoma are from small independent producers that use a low-intervention, hands-off approach to winemaking. Some use the term "natural wine" but, really, this is the way wine has always been made since the beginning. For us, the chemicals and additives that have made their way into wineries in recent decades in the pursuit of convenience and profit are the real outliers, the "artificial wines", to coin a term. We wouldn't do that to you ;)
