The best of Sardinia comes to Newcastle!

The wines of the Italian island of Sardinia are less well-known in the UK, so for a top opportunity to taste some of these wines you should book in for a Newcastle-Upon-Tyne tasting hosted by specialist merchants Italy Abroad:-

Italyabroad.com brings you the best wine and food Sardinia can offer in one of the best Italian restaurants in Newcastle.

Italy Abroad is based in the North East, and looks to be both informative, knowledgeable and entertaining - everything you might want from an Italian specialist in both food and wine - olive oil, antipasti and the rest. Certainly they meet my criteria for a good merchant - offering something a little different with passion and enthusiasm!! There is tons of good information e.g. who has heard of the Lagrein grape - “The Lagrein, a grape widely planted in Trentino and Alto Adige in the north east of Italy, produces tannic, soft wines with real character and they age well. The grape is also used to produce elegant and fresh rose wines.” With a blog, newsletter and tastings this has to be a must visit site for Italianophobes!
