Tradition and Innovation – Autumn Wine Dinners at CinCin

New Zealand’s Whitehaven Wine Company and
Italy’s Dr. Antonio Moretti ‘Collezione’

Vancouver, B.C. (September 29, 2011) – This October, two extraordinary wineries—New Zealand’s Whitehaven Wine Company and Italy’s Dr. Antonio Moretti ‘Collezione’ (Tenuta Sette Ponti, Feudo Maccari and Orma)—will collaborate with executive chef Todd Howard for two separate wine dinners at CinCin Ristorante that celebrate both tradition and innovation. Multi-course tasting menus will complement each evening’s progression of wines, and senior representatives of the wineries will speak to the history and terroir of their estates, as well as their winemaking methods.

Dr. Antonio Moretti ‘Collezione’ Dinner
Featuring the wineries of Tenuta Sette Ponti, Feudo Maccari and Orma

Date:
Monday, October 24, 2011

Time:
Reception at 6:00 p.m.

Special Guest:
Export Director, Stefano Maggini

Price:
$140 plus tax and gratuity

Dr. Antonio Moretti has amassed a collection of some of the great wine properties of Italy. From the release of the first vintage of his first wine, 1998 Crognolo, to the more recent acquisitions of estates in Sicily (Feudo Maccari) and Bolgheri (Orma), Moretti’s pursuit of absolute excellence is reflected in expansive, sophisticated wines that are now as well-travelled as their proprietor.

Together with superstar oenologist Carlo Ferrini—“one of the most talented and effective in the industry,” as CinCin wine director Sarah McCauley said following her visit to Feudo Maccari—the Moretti brands have risen to critical acclaim on a global scale. “They’re innovative, yet classic,” McCauley adds, “and represent sound value.”

Join export director, Stefano Maggini, for an informed and collaborative evening of fine Italian wines—and inspired cookery from the forno of CinCin executive chef, Todd Howard.
