Truffles, Tar & Roses: A Piedmont Legends Dinner

Few wine regions, Burgundy excepted, have spent quite so much time arguing over how its greatest grape ought to be expressed.

Why argue when the wines themselves - and great wines at that - can do the heavy lifting? For this dinner, we're bringing together four of the names that have done most to define Piedmont over the last several decades: Gaja, Bruno Giacosa, Aldo Conterno, and Giuseppe Rinaldi. Each gets a course of its own (truffles included!), with fourteen wines spanning 1997 through 2016 and a lineup that moves between Barolo and Barbaresco, legendary crus and mature bottles, and four very different ideas of what Nebbiolo can become.

Chef Nico Russell will create a four-course menu around the wines, with truffles doing their magical work of bridging Nebbiolo’s subtlest and profoundest depths.
