For one night only, Italian restaurant and lounge Zafferano will be hosting a wine dinner on Friday 23 September 2016 at 7.30pm featuring the iconic Barolos from Borgogno of Piedmont, Italy.
One of the oldest wine producers in Piedmont, Borgogno is best known for having its Barolo chosen as the wine in 1861 to commemorate the founding of the kingdom of Italy (that year also marked Borgogno’s 100th year anniversary, an entire century after Bartolomeo Borgogno established his family cantina). And for good reason too. When it comes to wine Piedmont is best known for the indigenous Italian Nebbiolo grape varietal, used for the making of the iconic regional wines of Barbaresco and, of course, Barolo.
For this 5-course dinner Giovanni Oliva, the export manager of Borgogno, will be present to guide diners through the wines from the Borgogno portfolio that will be paired with each course prepared by Zafferano head chef Marco Guccio (full pairing details below). Wines to be tasted include:
- Borgogno Langhe Era Ora 2013
- Borgogno Barbera d’Alba Superiore 2014
- Borgogno Barolo Classico 2011
- Borgogno Barolo Riserva 1998
This one-night only Borgogno wine dinner is priced at $128++ per person. To book a spot, call 65091488.
