Seminar-style wine tasting with Agri Segretum
Wednesday, July 24
6-7:30pm at The Center House, Berkshire Botanical Gardens
Join us for a seminar-style evening of wine exploration as we welcome (Berkshires native) Eileen Holland of Agri Segretum to the Berkshires for a one-night only event featuring her estate wines.
Agri Segretum is a remarkably charming small estate in the heart of the Umbrian countryside along the Tiber River Valley. Ready to leave behind their city life, Lorenzo de Monaco and Eileen Holland found this ‘secret’ spot (La Segreta) in 2009 and purchased about 30 hectares of land that would be planted with just over 5 hectares of indigenous grapes, as well as olive groves and a lovely agriturismo. A sincere respect for the land means everything is done by hand, with extreme dedication to the local traditions, and all of the crops that they harvest are certified organic to give extra regimen to their practices. At around 300 meters above sea level, the perfect Mediterranean climate suits their southwest-facing slope of vines perfectly for around 20,000 bottles annually, made mainly from the esteemed Sangiovese grape.
Join us as we welcome Eileen ‘back to the Berkshires’ for an intimate evening tasting of her wines and exploration of her winery and the uniqueness of the Umbrian terroir.
