Signature Wine Dinner: Rocca di Montegrossi
Rocca di Montegrossi
A Young Winery
It is with great excitement that The Vancouver Club invites members for an evening of fabulous Italian wines and gourmet cuisine, co-hosted by Rocca di Montegrossi winemaker Marco Ricasoli-Firidolfi and your Wine & Beverage Director Randy Chafe.
The Ricasoli name is inextricably linked not only to the history of Chianti, but also to the history of Tuscany. Geremia, the founder of the Ricasoli-Firidolfi family, established a castle (or Rocca) at Montegrossi in the 7th century AD. In 1141, the Ricasolis entered into the wine business. It was here that Bettino Ricasoli created the “recipe” for Chianti in 1872. Fast forward to today, and his relative, Marco Ricasoli-Firidolfi, is once again making history in the family’s ancestral lands.
Members will also have the opportunity to purchase their favourite bottles and have them signed by the winemaker that very evening.
For lovers of incredible Italian wines, and more specifically Chianti, this Signature Dinner is not to be missed!
