Wines from Julius Caesar's Day to Today

35:39

Jennifer Simonetti-Bryan gives you the tools you need to embark on this unforgettable journey through the world of Italian wines. Get a brief overview of Italy's history of winemaking and its important grape varieties, before using the five S's to compare ancient and modern wines. Then, take a closer look at the art of pairing wine with food, and make sense of wine labels and terminology.

Northeast Italy: Beloved Whites to Rich Reds

38:13

Continue your tour with a visit to Venice and other areas in the northeastern corner of the country, a region famed for light-bodied white wines and deep reds. You'll compare and contrast Champagne and Prosecco; learn how to make the perfect Bellini; learn the best dish to pair with a glass of Amarone, one of Italy's most aristocratic red wines; and more.

Northwest Italy: Sophisticated Wines

36:41

Venture to the Piemonte, which rests right at the foot of the Alps. Enjoy a Franciacorta, whose floral hints pair surprisingly well with fried foods; a Cinque Terre Blanco, Liguria's most renowned wine; and a Barolo, often described as a "masculine" wine due to its burly tannins. Also, take a short trip to a winery's barrel room to explore differences in aging techniques.

Tuscan Stars: Chianti to Super Tuscans

35:00

Discover why Tuscan wines are famous all over the world. Sample some of the tastes from this breathtaking part of the country, including a lemony Vermentino, a light-bodied Barbera, a savory Chianti Classico and a tannic Super Tuscan, considered the most controversial red in all of Italy.

Central Italy: Secret Gems

31:16

Explore exciting complexities of red and white wines from central Italy, a region that is only just now beginning to make a name for itself internationally. Enjoy delicious introductions to wines such as an Orvieto, a Sagrantino from Umbria and a Lambrusco from Emilia-Romagna, all the while comparing and contrasting them to see what subtleties make each wine unique.

Southern Italy: Juicy Reds & Pizza Pairings

32:12

Conclude with a stop in southern Italy and its surrounding islands, a sunny and exotic region known for robust, juicy wines. The wines you'll learn about in this lecture: a Fiano di Avellino, a Greco di Tufo, a Nero d'Avola, a Primitivo and an Aglianico. As a fun end to the course, you'll see how some of these wines pair with three versions of Italy's most popular dish: pizza.

Bonus materials available after purchase

What is the “Purchase” option all about?

If you are a paid Craftsy Member, you have immediate and ongoing access to nearly every Class, for as long as your Membership Account remains active. To access the Class videos, be sure you’re logged-in to your Account. The “Purchase” option is simply an alternative way for you to own a given Class, beyond your Membership term in Craftsy. When you “Purchase-to-Own” this Class, you can keep it for your personal collection, and can enjoy on-demand video access to this Class even if your Membership expires. You won’t lose access, and you’ll be able to enjoy your library of purchased content without any expiration or condition.

If I’m a paid Premium or Gold Member of Craftsy, do I need to purchase the Class to have access?

How do I know what the Class covers?

Nearly every Class has a free “Class Preview” video clip. This will give you a flavor for the Class Instructor and the skills or project that you’ll learn in the Class. In addition, each Class Lesson has a brief written summary of its content, including the length of each Lesson video. Lastly, under the Bonus Materials tab, you can see what extra elements are included with the video Class – usually a printable PDF resource, or two, is included. You will get a good feel for the complete Class content by reviewing these various elements.

Do I have to be a Member of Craftsy to purchase a Class?

Absolutely not. Anyone can “Purchase-to-Own” a Class without the commitment of Premium Membership. If you’re not a Member, when you click on the “Get Class Access” button, you’ll be given a couple purchase options. One of those options is to purchase the Class on its own. You would then own the Class and have access to it in your Craftsy account permanently – weather you’re a Member or not. Do keep in mind, however, that as a benefit of Craftsy Membership, you would have access to all Classes on the Craftsy site as long as your Membership is valid.

How do I “Purchase-to-Own” a Class?

First you should decide that the Class is what you want. Review the Class Preview video, and the various written descriptions of the Class and each Lesson before you purchase-to-own, so you have a good understanding of the Class content. When you’re ready to purchase the Class, simply click the “Get Class Access” (or it may show “Purchase Option”) and proceed. You will be given the option to join as a Premium Member of Craftsy, giving you access to this and all other then-active Classes throughout the term of your Premium Membership, or to purchase this one Class only, which you would then have access to perpetually.

How do I access/view my Class?

If/when you are a Craftsy Premium or Gold Member, you will have access to all then-active Classes on Craftsy. In that case, you can simply visit any Class page and enjoy the videos (be sure you’re logged in to your Membership Account). If you are not a paid Member of Craftsy, but have completed a “Purchase-to-Own” transaction, you can access/view your Class by going to the MY ACCOUNT section of Craftsy. Within your MY ACCOUNT, a section labeled “Classes” will appear, including a link to watch the videos of your Class and to access any Bonus Materials included. You can access your Class(es) as many times as you wish, and you’ll never lose access to your Account information. Just be sure to Log In for access to MY ACCOUNT.

Is there a limit on the times I can view my Class?

Can I view a Class on my tablet device or mobile phone?

How do I get access to the Bonus Materials for the Class?

Unless you are a Craftsy Premium Member, or until you purchase a Class, the Class Bonus Materials (any PDF download materials, etc.) will not be accessible. Once you join as a Member or purchase-to-own a Class, each individual bonus element is accessible by simply clicking on each item. You’ll find these elements within the “Bonus Materials” tab underneath your main Class viewer frame. As with the Class video, you can access the Bonus Materials as many times as you like – or you can print them out also.

How does the Class Discussion benefit work?

Once you become a Craftsy Premium Member, or purchase-to-own a Class, you’ll have the ability to post a question, comment, or tip in the Class Discussion area. You’ll find the Class Discussion tab directly below the Class video frame. This is not a “live chat,” but a subject matter expert may answer posted questions. The responses may not be from the actual Class Instructor. You’ll be able to see all Class participants’ questions and input to take part in this virtual dialogue among others who have viewed the Class and are willing to share tips, answers, or ideas.

Can I print out Class Bonus Materials?

Are there any system requirements to view the Class video content?

Can I get a refund if I don’t like the Class?

If your access to a Class is through Premium Membership in Craftsy, then there is no refund available on any specific Class. A refund on a Craftsy Premium Membership will be applied on a pro-rata basis, within the then-existing term of your Craftsy Premium Membership. If you did “Purchase-to-Own” a given Class, yes we want to make you happy. Even though you will have been able to view all videos and download any Bonus Materials, we have a 100% money-back guarantee on any Class you purchase on an a la carte basis (Purchase-to-Own). This refund is available if you request it within 30 days of your Class purchase. Please direct any refund request to our Customer Service team, using the Contact Us information on Craftsy.com. In an attempt to avoid this situation, please review the Class Preview video and the various other written descriptions of the Class and each Lesson before you purchase, so you have a good understanding of the Class content.
