Ciao! Please join us in welcoming Francesco Bordini of Villa Papiano in Modigliana, Italy, to The Pip.
Villa Papiano lives in the region of Emilia-Romagna in Italy the land of Parmesan-Reggiano cheese, lasagna & Ferrari . The winery is named after Lieutenant Papiano who served in Medici’s army in the 15th century. The vineyards are planted between 450-540m elevation on ancient sandstone soils which yields savory, bright and juicy wines.
Francesco is a Consultant Winemaker for 15 different estates in Emilia Romagna and is acknowledged as one of the foremost experts of Romagna’s wines. His philosophy focuses on an “invisible hand” – a non-interventionist approach with the utmost respect for the varietal character and local terroir.
We will taste five selections from Villa Papiano – a vermouth (in a simple cocktail), three Sangiovese wines and a Centesimino. Of course we’ll also have small snacks to enhance the wine experience.
