Italian Wine Scholar - Unit 2 - Umbria, Lazio & Molise

Unlock the hidden treasures of Italy’s central and southern interior at this exclusive Wine Scholar Guild masterclass spotlighting the diverse and characterful wine regions of Umbria, Lazio and Molise. Hosted by the West London Wine School, this evening reveals the landscapes, grapes and traditions that shape three of Italy’s most intriguing — and often overlooked — regions.

Part of the Wine Scholar Guild curriculum, this session forms a single evening of the Italian Wine Scholar – Unit 2 program, making it the ideal introduction for anyone considering deeper study. This class provides a compelling look at Italy’s landlocked heart and coastal neighbours — from volcanic hillsides to ancient lake basins — highlighting centuries of culture, spiritual heritage and evolving wine identities. Perfect for wine enthusiasts or those contemplating enrolling in the full qualification, the evening offers a flavour of the depth, structure and insight offered by the Wine Scholar Guild.
Please note that this session is not suitable for students currently enrolled in the Italian Wine Scholar Unit 2 course. It may also provide limited new material for those who have already completed the program, though past students are most welcome should they wish to revisit these regions through the tasting.

You’ll enjoy a guided tasting of wines chosen to express the individuality of each region. Explore the refined whites and structured reds of Umbria, from Orvieto to Montefalco; discover the volcanic energy and native grape diversity of Lazio, including Frascati and Cesanese; and experience the rustic charm, character and rising quality of wines from Molise, one of Italy’s most exciting emerging sources of value.

Whether you’re curious about committing to the full Italian Wine Scholar program or simply eager to broaden your understanding of Italy’s vinous landscape, this evening promises a rewarding journey through three regions rich in authenticity and identity.
