About the Event
Join us Tuesday, March 19th, 6-8pm, for a lounge tasting with historic Piemonte family winery Chionetti. Debbie Shing from Quvé and current 5th-generation Chionetti winery manager Martina Smotlak will be at VC Yorkville pouring samples of Dogliani and Nebbiolo, available for purchase. Those who arrive early may have the chance to sample some rare bottles flown in from Italy for this visit, available for pre-order, including their old vines Dogliani and very limited production cru Barolo – a highly acclaimed recent project that showcases the Chionetti family’s dedication to preserving their homeland via organic farming practices.
We couldn’t have described Chionetti better ourselves: Flatiron Wines NYC wrote in their blog, “there is no Dogliani producer more revered than Chionetti. Quinto Chionetti saw the potential in the San Luigi farmhouse his grandfather purchased in 1912. He guided the operation from selling their grapes off to local merchants into an estate project. The family has since expanded their holdings to 16 hectares, and Chionetti has become the ultimate reference point for terroir-driven Dolcetto, with the soulful farmer Quinto Chionetti seen as the pioneer of the style.”
