There’s nothing like a story to change how something tastes. At the Italian Wine Festival, held under a tent in Amherst’s Mill District on Saturday, April 25, a glass of red wine came with more than hints of blackberries and blueberries; it came with a story from the winemaker.
Co-hosted by the local wine shop Provisions and Mucci Imports, the annual event brought 18 Italian winemakers to Amherst, turning an outdoor tent into a lively tasting space where guests could sip, swirl and learn the history behind each bottle.
