Guest Host: Francesco Ripaccioli, Owner, Winemaker
IWM Host: Will Di Nunzio, President

A favorite IWM producer, Canalicchio di Sopra was founded by a former sharecropper and has risen to become a world-class winemaking force. Canalicchio di Sopra adheres to an authentic model of Brunello as a wine of longevity, thoughtfulness and terroir, and because of these traits, the estate's Brunello is beloved around the globe. Join IWM as we host Canalicchio's winemaker, Francesco Ripaccioli, for a special evening of great food, lively conversation and sensational wine. While Canalicchio di Sopra's wines will be the focus of the event, IWM's own Chef Michael Marcelli and his in-house kitchen staff will design a beautiful array of dishes that showcase each wine's individual glory. A perfect event for Brunello fans, wine-lovers who appreciate traditional Italian wines, and wine newbies looking for an immersive experience, this Canalicchio di Sopra dinner is not to be missed. It's as close as you can get to touring the estate's vineyards, without leaving glamorous New York City!
