Piedmont Wine Dinner with Michele Chiarlo Wines at Max Amore 2-26-19

Max Amore in Glastonbury presents a Wine & Food Pairing Dinner featuring the wines of Michele Chiarlo Winery

Special Guest Speaker for the evening

Massimo Galvano

Italian Wine Director – Kobrand Corporation

A STORY OF A FAMILY

The Chiarlo Family home in their vineyards

Since 1956, Michele Chiarlo has been vinifying the essence of Piedmont, loving and developing the most incredible wine region in the world. There are 110 hectares of vineyards between Langhe, Monferrato and Gavi. These crus respect both ecological criteria & the expression of the terroir.

Michele Chiarlo has not abandoned his philosophy. Rigorous selection of the best grapes from only the most reputable growers in the most favored vineyard areas and longer aging in oak and then in bottle prior to release were measures he adopted before the DOC laws. Additionally, from the beginning, Michele Chiarlo has directly managed or personally overseen every aspect in the productions of his wines. Since the early 1990s, his sons, Alberto and Stefano, have also held management roles.  Alberto, the elder, directs Marketing and sales; Stefano, an oenologist by profession, manages vineyard operations and collaborates in production in the cellars.

We are very pleased to present these wines at Max Amore as part of our continued wine dinner series featuring some of the world’s great estates.

Winemaker Dinner with Augusto Boffa of the Pio Cesare Winery in Piemonte, Italy

Max a Mia is Very Pleased to Present

An Italian Wine Dinner Featuring

The Historic Pio Cesare wines of Piemonte

With Special Guest

Mr. Augusto Boffa

Pio Cesare Winery Family Member

Pio Cesare has been producing wines for 135 years and through five generations in its ancient cellars in the center of the town of Alba.

The Pio Cesare winery was founded in 1881, by Cesare Pio. He was a very successful entrepreneur and was inspired to produce a small and select quantity of wines from the hills of Barolo and Barbaresco for himself, his family, friends, and customers. Cesare Pio was dedicated to the terroir of the Piedmont region and to producing wines of the highest quality.

Today, the family members travel extensively to more than 50 countries around the world, echoing what Cesare Pio himself did at the beginning of our history—promoting the name and reputation of the Pio Cesare winery to restaurants, hotels, wine shops and wine lovers worldwide. We are very pleased to welcome fourth generation from Pio Cesare to Max a Mia for this winter wine dinner.

For this dinner we have selected a number of wines from these top estates to feature along with the cuisine of Chef Lundgren.
