About this Event
November we're having a night in Piedmont - the homeland of Nebbiolo🍷🇮🇹 🍄🟫🍁🐷
✨ To celebrate truffle season in Piedmont, we’re heading to Italy’s misty northwest — where rolling hills, ancient cellars, and family traditions meet to create some of the most beautiful wines in the world.
This tasting showcases Piedmont's finest: sparkling Alta Langa, aromatic Timorasso, juicy Dolcetto, and the majestic Barolo.
Seasonal touches will include a drizzle of truffle oil, crunchy bread, Piedmont hazelnuts, and carefully selected Bresaola to complement the wines.
✨ Expect to enjoy a taste of the region with bottles like:
- 🍾 Alta Langa – Piemonte’s sparkling masterpiece, crisp and mineral
- 🌼 Ancient Whites- rich, fragrant and lively
- 🍒 Dolcetto d’Alba – bright, joyful, and fruit-forward
- 🌰 Barbera – elegant, juicy, with perfect acidity
- 🌹 Nebbiolo – the “King of Wines”: structured, complex, and silky
- 🍯And something sweet- a light, sweet finish to round off the tasting
