Wine expert, Lisa Drakeman *88, S*88, P02, h35, will lead a tasting of three wines with food pairing suggestions:
1. Renato Ratti Barolo Marcenasco (#54 of Wine Enthusiast’s top 100 2017)
2. Renato Ratti Lange Nebbiolo Ochetti
These two wines exemplify very different expressions of the Nebbiolo grape. The Ratti family are pioneers of single vineyard Barolo, leading to the finest wines of the region we know today. They also mapped the various Crus of the Barolo region in the 1970s and 80s.
3. Tornatore Pietrarizzo Etna Bianco (#33 of Wine Enthusiast’s top 100 2020)
A limited production white wine from the slopes of Sicily's Mount Etna. The family has been in the area since the 16th century. This wine has been selected as an editor’s choice at Wine Enthusiast.
