About this Event
Northern Italy produces some of the most distinctive, terroir-driven wines on the planet.

Every pour is paired with specifically chosen small plates intended to bring each sip to life.
Bosco del Merlo Pinot Grigio DOC 2023 | Friuli, Italy
Crisp, light, and refreshing, with notes of pear, green apple, and subtle floral tones, this is a classic expression of Northern Italy’s cool-climate elegance.
Paired with Grilled Focaccia with Whipped Ricotta & Lemon Zest to highlight the bright freshness of the glass.
Tommasi “Le Fornaci” Lugana IGT 2020 | Veneto, Italy
Textural and mineral-driven, this wine offers citrus, stone fruit, and a gentle salinity influenced by Lake Garda.
Paired with Fresh Mozzarella, Olive Oil, & Cracked Black Pepper to enhance the texture and minerality of the pour.
Mauro Molino “Le Radici” Barbera d’Asti DOCG 2018 | Piedmont, Italy
Vibrant acidity with ripe cherry, plum, and subtle spice, this wine showcases why Barbera is one of Italy’s most food-friendly reds.
Paired with Aged Parmigiano Reggiano & Berry Compote to balance the acidity and fruit on the palate.
Paladin Salbanello Rosso | Veneto, Italy
Smooth and approachable, with soft tannins and ripe red fruit, this wine is a bridge between freshness and richness.
Paired with Mild Italian Salumi & Semi-Soft Cheese to support the fruit without overpowering the wine.
Cantina di Negrar Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG 2019 | Veneto, Italy
Deep, concentrated, and powerful, with dried cherry, dark chocolate, spice, and a long, warming finish, this is the grand finale.
Paired with a variety of Aged Cheeses to echo the richness and complexity in the glass.
