One of our favorite Piedmont producers is coming to the mezzanine on Tuesday, September 24 at 6pm: Paitin's Luca Pasquero-Elia will join us for a masterclass on Barbaresco through the eyes of one of the commune's oldest wineries. 

The Paitin winery, owned by the Pasquero-Elia family, was established in 1796 when Benedetto Elia purchased the farmhouse, wine cellar, and surrounding vineyards from Luigi Pelissero. Benedetto’s son Giuseppe acquired the underground cellar and extended their vineyard holdings to 17 hectares. In 1893, the first Barbaresco Sori Paitin was produced and in 1898 the winery began exporting the wine commercially. The next important phase of the winery was in 1965 when Secondo Pasquero-Elia built a new wine cellar at the property and thoroughly replanted the vineyards by massale selection. Secondo Pasquero-Elia sadly passed away in 2020 but his sons, Giovanni and Silvano are currently running the winery along with Giovanni’s son Luca.

We will taste an exciting selection of wines along with light bites. Seating is limited. Tickets for this class are $40 and a $20 store credit will be issued with your purchase.
