Yields are kept very low and the winemaking as natural as possible, without the use of pesticides or artificial fertilisers, using only natural yeasts and bottling without filtering or fining. All of these &#8216;crus&#8217; are given exactly the same oak treatment so as to allow the individual &#8216;terroirs&#8217; express their character. &#8216;Cotta&#8217;, the most fruit driven of the crus, comes from 25 year old vines and is characterised by red and black fruits and a hint of mint. &#8216;Fausoni&#8217; from 40 year old vines is the softest and most floral with notes of mint and liquorice and with a firm core of vibrant acidity, while &#8216;Pajore&#8217; is the most traditional and epitomises elegance and austerity, with wonderful balance and ripeness. These are truly singular wines that are built for the long term and will reward those with patience, but enjoyable in their youth if decanted with plenty of air.<\/p>\n<p>This dinner offers a unique opportunity to become better acquainted with one of the rising stars of Piedmont, and taste across three of their top Barbaresco \u2018Crus\u2019 in three different vintages, in addition to their fabulous Barbera and highly expressive Dolcetto d\u2019Alba.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday 21<sup>st<\/sup> November, 7.30 for 8.00pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2010 <strong style=\"color: #c00000;\">DOLCETTO D&#8217;ALBA Bric del Salto<\/strong><br \/>\n2009 <strong style=\"color: #c00000;\">BARBERA Pairolero<\/strong><br \/>\n2008 <strong style=\"color: #c00000;\">BARBARESCO Fausoni<\/strong><br \/>\n2007 <strong style=\"color: #c00000;\">BARBARESCO Cotta&#8217;<\/strong><br \/>\n2006 <strong style=\"color: #c00000;\">BARBARESCO Pajore<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tickets are \u00a3125.00 per person, to include a three course dinner and all wines, and limited to only 22 places.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c00000;\">To book and pay for your tickets please call Colin Patch (<a href=\"mailto:colinp@leaandsandeman.co.uk\">colinp@leaandsandeman.co.uk<\/a>) or Emerson Herdman (<a href=\"mailto:emerson@leaandsandeman.co.uk\">emerson@leaandsandeman.co.uk<\/a>) on <strong style=\"color: #c00000;\">020 7244 0522<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em style=\"color: #c00000;\">Tickets must be paid for at the time of ordering and no refunds will be made for cancellations.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SOLD OUT WINEMAKER\u2019S DINNER with Andrea SOTTIMANO and his stunning BARBARESCOS at Quo Vadis On Wednesday 21st November we are hosting a wine dinner in the private dining room of Quo Vadis, together with Andrea Sottimano.
