Meet Piedmontese winemaker Flavio Sobrero, March 13

admin — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 18:43:41 +0000

I Trulli is excited to welcome winemaker Flavio Sobrero to New York! To celebrate this occasion we’re hosting an evening showcasing his fantastic wines alongside the delicious flavors of Piedmont.

Among Italian regions, Piedmont stands out for the depth and quality of wine. With a wealth of local grape varieties, centuries-old traditions and a heightened appreciation of the pleasures of the table the Piedmontese are rightly considered some of the world’s greatest wine producers. The Sobrero family has been cultivating nebbiolo in Castiglione Falletto since the late 19th century. Today Flavio Sobrero carries on a tradition started by his grandfather, Francesco, who was the first to bottle under the family name in 1964.

Let Flavio guide you through his exemplary wines and enjoy our exclusive five-course menu of classic Piedmontese delights (see below)!
