Transcendental 7-course Piemontese winemaker dinner with wines of grace and elegance from the ‘other side’
With Special Guest Giacomo Damonte
of Malvirà in Roero
Come explore the exceptional wines of Malvirà from the Roero zone in Piedmont. Wrong Side of the River will be a unique tasting and dining experience guided by Giacomo Damonte representing the third generation of this venerable estate. The Damontes were one of the first families in Piedmont to recognize the importance of Arneis, creating special Crus by identifying and designating the hillsides providing the best growing conditions. Experience the distinctive character of Piedmont’s most noble varieties through these amazing wines and learn more about their journey from grape to glass with a member of the family who makes the magic happen. This is your chance to explore the breadth of what Malvirà creates alongside Chef Myles’s unique expression of regional cuisine to showcase these wines. In addition to their classic bottlings of Arneis, Barbera and Nebbiolo, Giacomo will present rare single cru Nebbiolo wines from the 2008 vintage.
