This week in pictures features a tasting of the finest wines from Italy, a trip to Bushmills, a celebration of the hop harvest, and cider on James Martin's Saturday Morning show.

This year's edition of Simply Italian Great Wines in London offered attendees an insight into Italian producers and regions that are off the beaten track.

The 2023 edition of Borsa Vini London will be held at the Science Museum's Illuminate Space on 4 October, promising the presence of 54 leading producers and two masterclasses that will shed light on the evolving world of Italian wine.

A masterclass last week from Florio director Robert Magnisi and Italian wine expert Walter Speller revealed how cellar geography can influence how Marsala ages.

This week, Douglas Blyde met Champagne communicator Tyson Stelzer, and Marsala producer Florio unveiled its New Geography Range during a masterclass at 67 Pall Mall.

Florio will be showcasing its Marsala New Geography range at a sneak preview tasting in London next week.

A tribute to Luciano Sandrone, a key figure in the recent history of Barolo who bridged the gap between modernists and traditionalists.
