Spotlight On Cordero San Giorgio (and Dragons)

Cost: Free

If you enjoy getting to know under-the-radar Italian wine regions (in the USA at least), classics like Langhe Nebbiolo and Barolo and/or dragons, this is the tasting for you. Come explore the first two and learn why the third is on the labels of Cordero San Giorgio wines on Tuesday, June 9 from 5-7pm with winery co-owner Caterina Cordero..

The tasting is free. Just RSVP for your preferred 45 minute tasting slot and come play with the dragons! You’ll enjoy:

Cordero San Giorgio Pinot Grigio Katari Oltrepo Pavese 2024

Cordero San Giorgio Chardonnay Rivone Oltrepo Pavese 2021

Cordero San Giorgio Pinot Nero Tiamat Oltrepo Pavese 2024

Cordero Mario Bech Nebbiolo Langhe 2023

Cordero Mario Barolo Valentino 2021

When your grandparents are Luciana Vietti and Alfredo Currado, Barolo legends, and your dad is their son-in-law Mario Cordero, who ran Vietti from the late 1980s-2016, you’ve got some heritage to live up to. Mario’s three children, Francesco, Lorenzo, and Caterina Cordero, were up to the challenge. They created a top winery in Lombardy, next door to Piemonte. And now they make great Barolo, too.

The ”San Giorgio” name refers to the legend of Saint George and the Dragon – thus the large lizard and small knight on the Cordero San Giorgio labels. Put dragons and knights together and you get fireworks. Which is pretty much what these delicious wines deliver, too!

Again, 100% free tasting of five great wines. Just put your name down for one of the sessions and come meet Caterina and discover a new favorite winery story and set of wines
