Join us for an unforgettable journey through Tuscany at the brand-new Capon's Chophouse in Hackensack, NJ, featuring an incredible selection of Italian wines from some of our all-time favorite producers: Castello di Montepo (founded by the Biondi Santi family!), Isola delle Falcole, La Massa, and San Filippo!
From the elegance of the Isola delle Falcole Gran Selezione 2021 and La Massa IGT 2022 to the rich, expressive Sassoalloro 2023 and Sassoalloro Oro 2021, the evening builds to two remarkable Brunello di Montalcino bottlings from San Filippo: the 2019 Brunello dei Comunali and the 2020 Brunello Le Lucere. It’s a rare opportunity to experience the diversity, depth, and character of Tuscany through an impressive collection of wines, all enjoyed alongside an incredible multi-course dinner.
