We are delighted to dive deep into PIEMONTE through the lens of one fantastic producer in the heart of the very best barbera region in Italy. Explore Nizza, Monferrato with Gino Della Porta, the co-owner and winemaker of Sette visiting Toronto for the very first time. In this producer deep dive, we'll taste through FIVE of Gino's latest wines, while getting into the history of the region, important local gossip and grapes to know, including Barbera (like you've never seen it before!), local star Grignolino and amphora-aged Moscato.

These producer led sessions are always the best, combining deep regional knowledge with great wine and lots of opportunities to ask questions in our intimate salon setting. If you are an Italian or Piemonte wine lover looking to deepen your understanding this session is for you. 

All event tickets are non refundable. 

More on the producer c/o The Source Imports

Gino Della Porta and his close friend and superstar-enologist Gian Luca Colombo founded Sette in 2017 with the purchase of a 5.8ha hill in Bricco di Nizza, in Nizza Monferrato. They join the new generation of driven young winegrowers who experiment with new and ancient techniques to express their vision of wine free from cultural and regional expectations while employing the most ecological methods possible. Certified organic since 2018 and in conversion to biodynamics in 2020, their terroir is composed of sandy limestone, chalk, and a wide variety of other siliceous geological formations on steep hills with great variations of soil grain. Their broad range includes dry, skin-contacted Moscato and amphora-aged Grignolino, and their main focus is their Barbera d’Asti DOC (though technically in Nizza DOCG) and Barbera Nizza DOCG from 80-year-old vines. There are no rules or cellar recipes beyond appellation requirements and every season determines their strategy.
