We love doing Wine Dinners here at Solare – and especially Italian Wine Dinners. You want to join this one. Here’s why:
We have owner and winemaker, Daniele Conterno, of Daniel Conterno Estate leading “An Evening in Piemonte”. Daniele is a Fourth Generation Barolo Master — of the historic Conterno Family from the Monforte d’Alba village of Barolo in Piedmont.
Daniele Conterno (yes, THAT Conterno) comes from one of the most historic family winemaking lineages of all time – he is a scion of legendaries Giacomo Conterno and Aldo Conterno, whose Baroli are some of the most coveted bottles of wine in the world. Barolo connoisseurs consider the Bussia vineyard, produced by the Conterno family since 1961, one of the most unique, iconic vineyards in the world. We are pouring the Daniele Conterno 2012 Bussia Cru Riserva at the dinner. Yay!
The dinner starts at 6:45pm and there is a reception with Daniele at 6:15pm. The dinner is $94 and it includes 5 Daniele Conterno wines and the 4-course dinner designed by Executive Chef Filippo Piccini.
Reserve today via email or call 619-270-9670
These are special wines with a special dinner and you will meet the winemaker himself as he describes his style and how he creates such delicious wines and the Conterno Family.
Read this: In the heart of the Langhe, in the hamlet of Bussia di Monforte d’Alba, is Cascina Sciulun, a historic farmhouse, constructed according to Piedmont architectural traditions. Built in the mid-nineteenth century and extended in the 1940s, the house has been the lifelong home to Daniele and has always belonged to the Conterno family.
Daniele represents the fourth generation of the family. Starting with Great Grandfather Pietro Conterno and 18 hectares of land. The established estate then passed to his legendary Grandfather Giacomo Conterno who played the major role of pushing Barolo as a wine and region in to the elevated and esteemed class that it holds today. Daniele’s father Franco then took the reins and they still work together every day.
