nel centro hosts exclusive dinner with renowned Italian winemaker

On Tuesday, September 14, Chef David Machado will prepare a classic Piedmontese dinner in honor of Giovanni Pasquero Elia of Italy's famed Paitin Winery. The prix fixe menu will treat diners to a rare selection of Paitin varietals including a 2003 Barbaresco Vecchie Vigne that has the "characteristic intensity and focus of old-vine wines, potent, smoky, spicy, and penetrating in aroma, rich in flavor and with the plush texture, the tightly-packed tannins and caressing tactile sensations of perfectly ripe Nebbiolo." (Wine Advocate).

Date: Tuesday, September 14, 6:30pm
Location: nel centro, Genoa room
Price: $95 per person (includes food, wine and gratuity)

To reserve a seat, call Nel Centro at 503.484.1099 or contact Michelle Glass at Michelle@nelcentro.com.
