Cru night is back! Join us for an evening of small vineyards, big bottles! Cru Night turns a bottle-only, limited-production cru into a one-night, by-the-glass experience. This month we’re featuring Pecchenino’s 2021 San Guiseppe on Tuesday evening.

These vines undergo extreme care and attention leading to very low yields and, therefore, beautifully concentrated grapes. Diligent canopy management in July when the vines are thinned is followed by further thinning in August where the bottom half of the grape bunches are pruned. The final w**e ages in large oak casks, integrating the rich Nebbiolo tannins while allowing the fresh fruit to show through. On the nose there are hints of plum, raspberry, ripe red and black cherry, blackberry, and liquorice. The palate is classic: rich and powerful with silky, well-integrated tannins.
