Embark on a path to Italian wine enlightenment with award-winning Umbrian chef, Andrea Tiberi, whose latest venture is the opening of East Village wine bar, Cellar 58.
At Cellar 58, Tiberi will share his recommendations for tasting and collecting Italian wines. Tiberi’s favorite: Sagrantino di Montefalco, a dry, strong, structured wine from his hometown of Assisi. For a full interview with Tiberi and his recipe for red wine risotto with gorgonzola and pears, click on the image below.
After my all too brief three week hiatus in Italy, my love for Italian wines has grown deeper and from refined proseccos from small, family-run Venetian cellars to some choice playfully hearty Lambruscos from Emilia Romagna and crisp Roman Frascatis and Falanghinas, Coda di Volpe and Pampanuto from the southern regions of Campania and Apulia, Tiberi’s tasting tour sounds like just the thing for a novice oenphile like me and perhaps something that you and the wine aficionados in your life might also enjoy.
