October 28, Italian Wine Dinner with Enrico Cerulli

 

We are thrilled to host Enrico Cerulli on October 28, 2015 for an evening of stunning Cerulli Spinozzi wines paired with a 4-course menu from the Rialto kitchen.  There will be a reception to start with an opportunity to get to know Enrico.

Enrico Cerulli is recognized as a young Italian vineyard owner from Abruzzo, passionately committed to elevating  the quality and prestige of traditional Montepulciano d’Abruzzo.   He recently took over management of Azienda Agricola Cerulli Spinozzi, his ancestral family property, and is working with winemakers Franco Bernabel and Paolo Faccin to make outstanding wine from his organically grown Montepulciano grapes.
