In April, Aventine Hill Importers co-hosted a wine tasting with Webster Bank at Vespa Restaurant in Westport. Chef David White of Vespa Restaurant paired seven different small plates with eight different wines from Castel Sallegg’s Alto Adige, which is based in northern Italy. Export manager from the winery, Karl Gumphold, was on hand to educate guests about the wines, the unique vinification process and methods, as well as share the estate’s history.
