DALLAS — Henriot Imports and Republic National Distributing Company in collaboration with Nove Italiano will host a Tenuta di Ghizzano Wine Dinner led by Countess Ginevra Venerosi Pesciolini whose family arrived at the small Ghizzano hillside hamlet towards the end of the 14th century.
The 865-acre estate, located in the northwestern part of Tuscany between Florence and Pisa, is prosperous with olive and wine groves, producing few bottles but choice ones. The five-course wine dinner will be held on Thursday, February 7 at 7:00 pm for $100 per person (not including tax and gratuity). Reservations are required by calling 214.720.9903.
