| Lombardi’s Mill Creek - Piedmont Wine Dinner |
Lombardi’s Mill Creek gave us another wonderful wine dinner featuring the
fine wines of Marchesi di Barolo. Hosted by Lombardi's founder Diane Symms and Bryan
Odegard, importers Frederick Wildman and Sons, LTD Northwest Regional Sales
Manager.
Once again executive chef Matt Romeo did his magic…
About the winery:
The Marchesi di Barolo Estate encompasses approximately 110ha of vineyards
in the Langhe, some of the finest in Piedmont .
The cellars are located in the village
of Barolo
Vineyards were established here in the early 19th Century by the Marchese
Carlo Tancredi Falletti di Barolo and his wife, Giulia. The wine from their
estate soon became known as “the wine from Barolo”, served at important
diplomatic and royal functions.
Today Marchesi di Barolo remains a family business. Since 2006, the estate
has been under the direction of Pietro’s great-grandson and 5th generation
winemaker, Ernesto Abbona and his wife Anna, who have inherited a longstanding
winemaking tradition and a love of the vineyards and its wines.
The Dinner:
The Risotto timbale with prosciutto was our favorite of the night followed closely by the Veal Prime Rib…
