I was in Brescia with friends this September and we went along to a couple of wine tastings. We have been to other branches in Italy but felt really at home in Brescia. The staff looked after us really well particularly Gianluca. We had a regional frizzante wine tasting for lunch with the Antipasti boards of meats & cheese breads and fried vegetables.
