An Evening with Tommaso Cortonesi

Join us for an evening of exceptional wines with special guest Tommaso Cortonesi, at a private residence in North London. 

Tommaso's grandfather bought La Mannella in the 1970s, and the estate spreads over 56 hectares, eight of which produce Brunello di Montalcino. Originally just one Brunello was made, a blend from the two separate vineyards, but in the 1990s, Tommaso and his father realised that the two vineyards had distinctly different soil composition. They decided that better wine would be made if each terroir was properly realised in the bottle, and thus were born Poggiarelli (in the south east) and La Mannella (in the north).

Poggiarelli is a tad leaner than La Mannella, but is nonetheless a supremely silky, seductive Brunello. Both have great length and delicious mouthfeel. The Riserva is a restrained explosion of flavour and intensity and – unlike most Brunello Riservas – worth every penny of its price. Not for everyday drinking, perhaps, but certainly to be poured on those occasions when only the very, very best will do!

Don't miss this exclusive opportunity to try the wines with Tommaso himself.
