In this private session, enjoy an intimate dinner inside Eataly’s Bar Milano restaurant, where you will sit alongside Caterina Cornacchia to taste the top selections and best vintages of Montepulciano from the Barone Cornacchia estate. This elevated dining experience is an exclusive opportunity to discuss and learn directly from the winemaker while enjoying a multiple-course chef-curated meal paired perfectly with these unique wines.

About Montepulciano: In the beautiful hills of Abruzzo, just east of Rome, lie some of the purest hills in all of Italy. Here you will find the highest concentration of organic farms and the home to one of Italy’s greatest treasures: the Montepulciano grape. A splendid and long-underrated grape variety, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo delivers rich and often complex red wines. This grape variety is produced in all four provinces of Abruzzo, however, the majority of it occurs in Chieti. With winds from the Adriatic Sea and soils of marly clay, sand and limestone, grapes grown here produce a hearty red that pairs beautifully with meat, pizza, and rich pasta dishes.

About the Producer - Barone Cornacchia: Baron Filippo Cornacchia was a pioneer of wine production in Abruzzo and succeeded in creating a high-quality product with a strong identity. Since the beginning of their production until today, the grapes have been grown, processed, and harvested by hand for optimal selection. The grapes are immediately transferred to the winery to protect the quality of the fruit. All production at Barone Cornacchia is founded on principles of sustainable development, aimed at safeguarding and promoting resources with respect for the environment and the health of consumers. The characteristics of the local terroir, including gradient, altitude, and the estate's low-yield cultivation methods, allow the vines and the varieties that are grown to excel, becoming an extremely high-quality product.
