SUMMARY: Ar.Pe.Pe Winemaker Dinner
DESCRIPTION:<p><span style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">Tucked away in the far northern reaches of Italy's Lombardy region is the wine-growing district of Valtellina. Situated in the Rhaetian Alps on the border with Switzerland, Valtellina is the quintessential mountain wine region. The valley runs almost perfectly east-west, with vines planted on sunny, south-facing slopes. Here, the Nebbiolo grape, known locally as Chiavennasca, produces age-worthy wines with notable similarities to the wines of neighboring Barolo and Barbaresco in Piedmont. One of the leading producers in this small region is Ar.Pe.Pe, cleverly named after its founder, Arturo Pelizzatti Perego, who started the winery in 1984 with the goal of realizing the full potential of the unique Valtellina terroir. Today, Arturo's children, Isabella, Emanuele, and Guido continue their father's work as the fifth generation of winemakers and growers. Please join us at Spruce as we welcome Isabella Pelizzatti, who will share her family's wines with us, paired with a special menu crafted by Chefs Mark Sullivan and John Madriaga. </span><br style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;" /><br style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;" /><span style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">Menu:</span><br style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;" /><span style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">Chicken Sausage, Stone Fruit Bread Pudding, Walnut Purée, Mustard Greens</span><br style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;" /><span style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">Rosso di Valtellina 2012</span><br style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;" /><span style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">Valtellina Superiore, Inferno, Fiamme Antiche 2010</span><br style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;" /><br style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;" /><span style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">House-Made Tagliatelle, Red Wine Braised Duck Legs, Oven-Roasted Tomatoes, Grana Padano</span><br style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;" /><span style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">Valtellina Superiore, Sassella, Stella Retica, Riserva 2006</span><br style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;" /><span style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">Valtellina Superiore, Grumello, Rocca de Piro, Riserva 2010</span><br style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;" /><br style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;" /><span style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">Braised Veal Breast, Anson Mills Polenta, Sautéed Greens, Stone Fruit Mostardo</span><br style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;" /><span style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">Valtellina Superiore, Sassella, Rocce Rosse, Riserva 2002</span><br style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;" /><span style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">Valtellina Superiore, Grumello, Buon Consiglio, Riserva 2005</span><br style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;" /><br style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;" /><span style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">Artisan Cheese</span><br style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;" /><span style="color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">Valtellina Superiore, Sassella, Ultimi Raggi, Vendemmia Tardiva 2005</span></p>
