Tuesday, July 23, 2024 | 6:00PM
$275 4 wines, 4 course dinner, & gratuity
Limited to 9 guests
We’re declaring it the summer of Sangiovese. Why? Because without it, there would be no Chianti, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, or Brunello di Montalcino. All to say, it’s one of the most important and widely planted grape varietals in Italy.
Beverage Director & Sommelier, Bobby Domenick, alongside, Enrique Gasparini, another familiar face and voice of Vetri Cucina plan to take guests on a spin of Sangiovese.
Sangiovese–Who’s Your Daddy?
In more recent years, researchers have discovered the parentage of Sangiovese. We’ll let Bobby determine how geeky he wants to get but what this suggests is that Gaglioppo (Calabria), Frappato (Sicily), and even some Nerello Mascalese (Mount Etna, Sicily) share DNA with Sangiovese. Dare we say, Sangiovese is the father…
This event will be hosted at the Chef Counter and includes 4 wines, a 4 course-dinner, & gratuity.
