This Wednesday (4/15/26): High-End Piedmont Wines, 5â7pm
Taste five beautiful wines from Alessandro Rivetto with Peter Kingsley of Cherry Hill.
This Wednesday, weâre headed to Piedmont.
Join us Wednesday 4/15/26 from 5â7pm for a high-end Italian tasting built around one remarkable producer: Alessandro Rivetto. Peter Kingsley from Cherry Hill will be in the shop talking through the wines, the producer, and what makes this corner of Piedmont one of the worldâs great places for serious, soulful reds. These wines will also be available to taste through the rest of the week while tasting stocks last â so if something speaks to you, donât wait too long.
Weâre calling this one Piedmont in Five Acts â a lineup that moves from bright and immediate to structured, layered, and quietly profound.
Weâll start with the Barbera dâAlba, deep ruby and full of fresh fruit, energy, and length â the kind of wine that opens the palate and sets the tone right away. Then into Langhe Nebbiolo, where the aromatics turn more lifted and savory: dried flowers, raisin, licorice, and fine tannins that start to show Nebbioloâs shape.
From there, the wines deepen. The Barbaresco DOCG brings rose petals, licorice, blackberry, and a velvety frame with beautiful balance. The Barolo DOCG follows with dried rose, violet, and dusky spice â robust, structured, and classically composed. And then the final pour: Barolo âSerralungaâ Single Vineyard, a more layered, powerful expression with raspberry, vanilla, to***co, and licorice wrapped into something firm, rich, and elegant.
This is a tasting for anyone who wants to understand why Piedmont has the reputation it does â and for anyone who just wants a very good glass on a Wednesday with someone knowledgeable guiding the way.
