Long Live Brunello 2015 masterclass with Federico Moccia & Nelson Pari – Tuesday 20th May
Throughout the year, we will be taking regular looks back at our birth year of 2015, as we celebrate 10 years of 67 Pall Mall here in London in a series of events.
For Brunello di Montalcino, the 2015 vintage was nothing short of exceptional. Unlike the cool and wet 2014 season, 2015 benefited from a warm, dry summer, delivering perfectly ripened grapes with depth, balance and structure. This has resulted in wines with generous fruit, refined tannins and remarkable ageing potential – hailed as one of the standout vintages of the decade.
We are delighted, then, to revive the popular ‘Long Live Brunello’ event series, hosted by Head Sommelier Federico Moccia and his friend and former colleague Nelson Pari. They will be joined by Andrea Polidoro, head winemaker at Cupano and a champion of ageworthy Brunello, for an evening celebrating the 2015 vintage.
The evening will take the form of an interactive masterclass, offering Members the chance to taste and compare a curated selection of 2015 Brunellos. Our three hosts have invited collated a host of top producers to showcase their expressions of this exceptional year, including Riserva and single-vineyard bottlings, making for a fantastic opportunity to explore the nuances of this standout vintage with the people who know it best.
Members can look forward to tasting wines from the following producers:
