About this Event
Join us at The Buxton for an intimate evening with Elena Pantaleoni of La Stoppa.
This March, we are honoured to host master winemaker Elena Pantaleoni of La Stoppa in Val Trebbiola, near Parma. Throughout the evening, you'll be able to drink a selection of six special vintages by the glass and talk to Elena about the wines. An intimate evening of conversation, wine and discovery, complete with cheeses and charcuterie from the Emilia-Romagna region.
About La Stoppa:
This historic estate has a rich and varied past.100 years ago, the then owner of the La Stoppa estate Ageno, a lawyer of some repute planted Bordeaux grape varieties and named them after the more illustrious wines of that region, Bordo, Bordo Bianco and Pino.
Then, in the 1970s the estate was taken over by the Pantaleoni Family and now is run by Elena Pantaleoni according to biodynamic principles. The vines have been replanted and they now produce wines from local varieties such as Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, Barbera and Bonarda, as well as the wines from their ancient vines of Bordeaux varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Semillon. The commitment to natural production, minimal work in the cellar and the excellent terroir yield wines of character, freshness and style which have something of the Bordeaux about them even with the Italian varieties. Perhaps, the ‘Terroir’ remembers its past and transfuses the history of this magnificent estate into every grape!
No need to rsvp, just join us from 5pm and let the conversation (and wines) flow.
