Forbes Street by Gareth Mullins is delighted to announce the next wine dinner in their exclusive series on Thursday, 10th October 24. This exclusive event will be run in partnership with Findlater & Co. and will celebrate the fascinating history, culture and taste of MASI.

The use of native grapes and autochthonous methods, and the research and experimentation carried out by its Technical Group, make it one of the most famous producers of high-quality Italian wines in the world.
