I remember the first time I discovered that Montepulciano was both a grape and a place (and that the place doesn't grow the grape) during WSET level 2... Still blows my mind!
So exciting! It is an amazing place! You will love it! Are you planning on doing your WSET in Tuscany too? Or are those independent statements. There was a Canadian company that used to offer the course in Florence.
Independent statements! 😁 Planning a wine trip in a few months: Tuscany, Burgundy, Champagne. Then level 3 later in the year. I hear it's considerably tough vs level 2 😬
Great article Eveline. The Monte naming labyrinth is a bit tricky to get our heads around, but if everything about wine was straightforward what would we write about?

Agreed! I still trip up the names verbally! I have to always pause to ensure I have the right M name! I really enjoyed this Vino Nobile! Smooth!
This is super helpful. Hoping to visit Tuscany this year. (And possibly level 3 before year-end 🫣)

Amazing! Yes big jump from 2 to 3 but well worth it!!
I will pre-study before I sign up for the course 🤭
Exactly! It is just about committing to the time required.
Will keep that in mind, thanks! Would be annoying if I had to retake it.
