Guest Host: Riccardo Talenti, Owner, Winemaker
IWM Host: Will Di Nunzio, President

Established by one of the founding fathers of the Brunello di
Montalcino Consortium, Talenti's Pian di Conte estate makes wines that
privilege complexity over extraction and finesse over fruit-forwardness.
We're excited to co-host a special winemaker dinner with one of our
favorite Brunello makers, Riccardo Talenti, who now runs his father's
estate. Featuring multiple vintages of Talenti Brunello, Brunello
Riserva and other surprise wines, this five-course dinner will give
wine-lovers an intimate look at one of Montalcino's most important
estates, offer you an unmatched insight into Brunello history, and
deepen your love of Sangiovese Grosso wines. IWM's own Chef Michael
Marcelli and his in-house kitchen staff will create an array of
mouth-watering dishes that will serve as ideal complements to Talenti's
finessed, robust and elegant wines. A rare opportunity to converse with a
winemaker as you sip his wines, this special Talenti winemaker dinner
is a once-in-a-lifetime event! Join us for our Talenti winemaker dinner,
and kick off 2019 in pure, delicious Italian style.
