The estate was founded by Giovanni Giordano in the 1930s, with his son Luigi later taking the important step of vinifying the family's own grapes from 1960. That decision marked the beginning of a commitment to quality and terroir that continues through the generations today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of Luigi Giordano are its exceptional Barbaresco vineyards, including the renowned crus of Asili, Montestefano, Cavanna and Ovello. The estate's approach is firmly rooted in allowing each vineyard to express its individual character, with traditional winemaking techniques that include extended maceration and maturation in large Slavonian oak botti. Particularly special is Cavanna, the family's most cherished vineyard and a historic single-vineyard expression that reflects the elegance, structure and distinctive character of Barbaresco.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscover the wines of Luigi Giordano at this special dinner, hosted by Christian Canala, Managing Director of Vinify, who will guide guests through the wines and share his knowledge and passion for the region. Together with a carefully curated Piedmont-inspired five-course menu by Executive Chef Nick Bergin, this dinner promises an intimate journey through Nebbiolo, terroir and generations of Barbaresco winemaking tradition.​\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e----------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive course menu with paired wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTo start\u003c\/strong\u003e - Oysters, prosecco jelly \/\/\u003cem\u003e Bruno Giacosa Spumante\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmall\u003c\/strong\u003e - Carne crudo, tonnato salsa, brioche \/\/\u003cem\u003e Luigi Giordano Vino Rosso 2024 \/\/ Luigi Giordano Dolcetto d'Alba 2023\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePasta\u003c\/strong\u003e - Fettuccine, oyster mushroom, butter, grana Padano \/\/ \u003cem\u003eLuigi Giordano Langhe Nebbiolo 2024\u003c\/em\u003e \/\/ \u003cem\u003eLuigi Giordano Barbaresco 'Cavanna' 2023\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMain\u003c\/strong\u003e - Quail, pancetta, rosemary, blueberries  \/\/ \u003cem\u003eLuigi Giordano Barbaresco 'Asili' 2023 \/\/ Luigi Giordano Barbaresco 'Ovello' 2023\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSweet\u003c\/strong\u003e - Pears, red wine, zabaglione \/\/ \u003cem\u003eMeletti Amaro \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e----------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"background-color: initial; font-family: \" trebuchet=\"\" ms helvetica verdana sans-serif font-size:=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"background-color: initial; font-family: \" trebuchet=\"\" ms helvetica verdana sans-serif font-size:=\"\"\u003ePolicy for all events are outlined below:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvent Changes: If unforeseen circumstances require us to change or cancel an event, Mercato will happily reimburse the full cost of your ticket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCancellations: 7 days or more from event: Mercato will provide store credit equivalent to the full cost of your ticket for cancellations that occur from the time you purchase your ticket up to 7 days before the event.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin 7 days of event: Event bookings cancelled within 7 days of the event date are strictly non-refundable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you have any further questions or enquiries, please contact our events team at events@mercato.com.au\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42652667674670,"sku":"LGWDT01","price":175.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2457\/9173\/files\/20260827141002_284659-original.png?v=1787806812","url":"https:\/\/mercato.com.au\/products\/luigi-giordano-wine-dinner-thursday-17th-september","provider":"Mercato","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
