18th June: Exclusive Member Tasting & Dinner - Lodovico Vertical Tasting

Tuesday 18th June 2024 7pm-10pm, Wine Tasting & Dinner at The Petersham, 2 Floral Court, Covent Garden, London WC2E 9FB

Lodovico Antinori is a visionary and one of Italy’s most influential winemakers. He grew up in the famous Antinori family (which spans 700 years of winemaking) and is behind the creation of Masseto and Ornellaia.

He now owns vines right next to Bolgheri. Here, helped by old friend and successful Bordeaux oenologist Michel Rolland, Lodovico has created a new Tuscan legend and named it after himself. When famous oenologist Andrei Tchelitcheff (a mentor to many winemakers who helped defined California’s finest wines) visited the estate few years ago, he persuaded Lodovico to stay in Bolgheri and told him to "Stay here, young man, you have the Eldorado here".

His daughter Sofia will be joining us for this spectacular event. Following a Champagne reception with Bollinger Grande Annee 2015, she will take you through a vertical tasting of magnums of Lodovico including 2012, 2015, 2018 and 2020. Each wine will be carefully paired with a delightful menu crafted by our executive chef at The Petersham.
