Amici dell’ Enotria is a wine appreciation club in Toronto Ontario dedicated to the enjoyment and promotion of Italian wines.

Enotria “The Land of the Vines” is the name given to Italy by the ancient Greeks.

Approximately eight to ten wine tasting events are hosted by the club each year which provide a forum for tasting a wide range of Italian wines, eating great Italian food, and meeting visiting producers and importing agents. 

The club has an ever expanding wine cellar, which provides members the opportunity to taste wines which have been aged appropriately or that they may not otherwise have the opportunity to try.

Super Tuscan / IGT Tasting For more info

This month’s tasting will feature eight amazing, yet lesser-known Super Tuscan / IGT reds which we have been storing in the club’s cellar for the last several years. 

The term "Super Tuscan" describes any Tuscan red wine that does not adhere to traditional blending laws for the region. Super Tuscans often use other non-indigenous grapes (i.e., cabernet sauvignon, merlot, syrah, etc.) which makes them ineligible for DOC(G) classification under the traditional Italian regulations.  However, this does not mean these wines are “lesser” than their DOC(G) Tuscan cousins, and in fact many Super Tuscans are superior (and much more expensive) than the traditional Tuscan reds.
