Cherubino City Cellar • Wednesday 17 June • 6 – 11pm • $300 pp
Join Cherubino City Cellar for an exclusive evening with one of Piedmont’s most celebrated winemakers and one of the Barolo Boys who helped cement the region’s reputation around the world.
On Wednesday 17 June, Giorgio Rivettiof La Spinetta joins Larry Cherubino at City Cellar for an intimate wine dinner, with 10 seats only.
Founded in Piedmont in 1977, La Spinetta is renowned for its masterful expression of indigenous grapes and elegant, age-worthy wines — pioneers of single-vineyard Barbera, makers of celebrated Barbaresco and Barolo, and the house behind the iconic rhino label.
Seven wines on pour, including Linea Retta — the joint project between Giorgio and Larry, built on a shared vineyard-first philosophy — and the Contratto Metodo Classico sparkling range. Paired with a seasonal menu by Ben Jacob, from Masseria Restaurant, designed to bring the character of each wine into focus.
