October 20 - Rare Italian Wine Dinner with Piero Mastroberadino – Legend of Campania

 

Note: This is a rare and very special evening of Italian wine and cuisine … and we are saying this having hosted many many Italian Wine Dinners.

Tuesday October 20.

We have Piero Mastroberadino here … the 10th generation owner of Mastroberadino Estate in the Italian region of Campania. The land of Naples, the Amalfi Coast, Mount Vesuvius, and mozzarella cheese.

Truly a legend of both Campania and all of Italy.

Piero rarely does tours like this and this may be his first wine dinner in San Diego. You will want to meet him. And, Piero is here with is daughter, Camilla. The next generation!

Mastroberadino started its vineyards in the early 1700’s and it began exporting its wines outside Italy in 1878.

Their focus is the indigenous grape varietals of their region including the famous Aglianico, Fiano, Piedirosso, and more.

You will love Piero’s wines. Always award-winning and perfect for a pairing dinner.

Here are the details:  

  • Tuesday October 20
  • 6:30pm Reception with Piero
  • $108 includes 5 select wines from Mastroberadino Estate and 4-course Campanian menu designed by Exec Chef Denice Grande
  • We are pouring their Aglianico Taurasi Riserva and more
  • Click here for a short video describing the evening.

We hope you can meet Piero – and enjoy his wines with the dishes Chef Denice is creating in the Solare Kitchen.
