Wine Dinner with Azienda Agricola Giacomo Fenocchio

Wednesday, May 4th - 6:30pm

It is no secret that we are one of Giacomo Fenocchio's biggest fans. 

Five generations of Fenocchios’ have been producing wine from their land in Monforte d’Alba since 1894. Claudio is a master at crafting classic Baroli that express the true essence of the Nebbiolo grape. 

Join us and Alice Pressenda, Claudio's niece, this upcoming Wednesday and taste some of the best cru Baroli out there including the sought after Bussia and Villero cru's

And what better way to showcase Fenocchios wines than to pair them with Donato's exquisite Piemontese cuisine.

We couldn't think of a better way to restart our Winemaker Dinners at Donato Enoteca than by having our dear friend Mario Roagna's winery, Cascina Val del Prete, with us this upcoming April 5th, 2022.

We will have none other than Mario's son, Giovanni Roagna, join us for a tantalizing evening tasting and learning about the Roero appellation, all accompanied by a sumptuous menu by Donato Scotti that captures the essence of Piemonte.

"The Roero, often dwarfed by its more famous neighbors Barolo and Barbaresco, is an Italian wine region that every Italian and Nebbiolo wine lover should know."

It is there, in the Roero, that Cascina Val Del Prete has been a leading grower since 1977, recognized for a commitment to natural farming and for traditional work in the cellar, utilizing techniques such as long maceration. This type of farming and cellar work requires incredible commitment, but the resulting wines achieve another level of detail and age-worthiness that is quite simply lost or minimized with more modern techniques that tend to rush processes along.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022

The Fontodi winery is nestled in the “golden basin” known as Conca d’Ora, south of Panzano in Chianti Classico. The Manetti family, owners of Fontodi, crafts some of the most sublime Sangiovese ever made. 

Regarded by many as a "Champion of Sangiovese", the Fontodi estate has been the most prominent Sangiovese producer in the region. Their pursuit for a perfect expression of Sangiovese brought them to create their most renowned wine, Flaccianello delle Pieve.

We are truly honored of welcoming none other than Fontodi’s Federico Manetti who will share his passion and, among other wines, several vintages of their flagship wine Flaccianello with us.
To accompany this unique occasion Donato and GIanluca will pair Fontodi's extraordinary wines with a multicourse Tuscan feast.

Wine Dinner with Francesco Rinaldi e Figli

On Wednesday February 5th we will have the honor of hosting one of Piemonte's most renowned wineries: Francesco Rinaldi e Figli

The great traditionalist estate of Francesco Rinaldi e Figli is one of the greatest names in Piemonte. Located in the town of Barolo itself, it was founded in 1870, when Francesco Rinaldi inherited the vineyard.

Fast forward to the present and Francesco Rinaldi crafts wines of pure beauty from Barolo, Castiglione Falletto and La Morra, three of the most important villages in the Barolo area, always upholding the traditionalist style of Barolo, with no new oak, long macerations and long aging in large Slavonian oak botti prior to bottling.

Among the many wines we will taste during the evening we are very excited to be able to share with you Rinaldi's two flagship wines: the single cru Cannubi and the single cru Brunate going back to 2007. All paired with a sumptuous Piemontese menu.
