Conegliano valdobbiadene prosecco superiore docg

Rooftop Takeover at Bar avec

Please join us on October 5th, at Bar Avec in Chicago, to indulge in “Grower” Prosecco Superiore.

This tiny area — just 33.5 square miles spread across the steep, pre-alpine foothills of the Dolomites between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene — is where Antonio Carpenè first produced sparkling wines with the word Prosecco on the label, in the late 19th century, and it continues to be home to some four hundred artisanal producers and over two thousand growers.

The wines that come from these hills are made with autochthonous varieties, hand—cultivated on stony soils in impossibly steep vineyards, and ultimately produced as transparent expressions of single sites (known as ‘Rive’ in the region). They are truly wines of place, and are worlds away from the more anonymous wines made in the endless flats of the DOC zone that stretches across the alluvial plain of the Piave river.

Come along with us as we explore the nuances of this dynamic and wonderful region. Sommelier and wine educator Taylor Parsons will be on-hand to walk us through the various terroirs and winemaking-styles found in this dramatic landscape, and has prepared four compelling flights of wines from the region’s leading producers. A light lunch will be provided following the seminar.

Schedule :
6:00 - 9:00 PM Exceptional Tasting of “Grower” Prosecco Superiore Wines with small bites.

Bar Avec is located on the 8th floor (above Avec - River North) at 640 N Lasalle Drive, Chicago, IL 60654.
