11/5 Tastemaker Dinner with Piero Lanza of Poggerino

The Story Behind the Tastemaker Series

The most memorable wine experiences happen when a winemaker welcomes you into their home—sharing food, opening bottles, and telling the stories that shaped them. Our Tastemaker Dinner series is designed to capture that same spirit: one table, a shared evening, and a sense of true connection. Each menu is crafted with the terroir in mind—because if it grows together, it goes together—creating a night where exceptional wines, thoughtful cooking, and genuine hospitality transport guests to the heart of each region.

About Poggerino

If ever there were an ideal ‘block’ or street to be on for the best vineyards and incredible winery neighbors in Chianti Classico, it would be the small stretch of road where Fattoria Poggerino lies. Directly across the street from Montevertine and Podere Cappaccia, next door to Tenuta Carleone, Piero Lanza’s Fattoria Poggerino is arguably one of the best situated wineries for legendary sangiovese in Tuscany. But an ideal address doesn’t even begin to tell the tale of what makes Poggerino so incredible. Piero Lanza, founder, proprietor, farmer, and winemaker of Poggerino is one of the most subtly impactful and well respected producers in the region. A maniac in the vineyards, Piero has a holistic and detailed approach to tending to his vines. Few agronomists can come close to his level of expertise on growing sangiovese. Open-minded and ever-evolving, Lanza produces wines that reflect exactly where they are from yet somehow get better and more finesseful each vintage. Piero hasn’t been to Colorado for about 10 years and we are honored to have him back with us for a deep dive into his obsession - Sangiovese.
