VINTAGE BABBO: Babbo Tasting Series with IWM

IWM is pleased to announce our partnering effort with Babbo to bring vintage Italian wine to the enthusiast. Vintage Babbo is a new wine seminar and tasting series held at our sister restaurant. Presented by Joe Bastianich and Dave Lynch, these Monday evening events are open to the public and feature rare wine selections, as well as a tasting menu designed specially by Mario Batali. The tastings are meditations on the history and evolution of Italian wine, presenting the opportunity to taste the rare, the classic, and the difficult-to-find gems of the Boot with food that magnifies the enjoyment of each sip.

MONDAY, JUNE 26, 2006
$295 per person
We’re pleased to announce a very unique “Vintage Babbo” tasting for Monday, June 26th featuring the wines of the Mastroberardino winery in Campania. We will be pouring a stunning vertical selection of Mastroberardino’s Taurasi, starting with the legendary 1968 vintage.

Mastroberardino is unquestionably the most historic producer of Taurasi, and this is a great opportunity to taste some of the rarest wines from southern Italy. These wines have all been sourced directly from the winery and shipped through their current importer. This is a great opportunity to see how well Italy’s third “noble” grape, Aglianico, stands the test of time.

Here’s the lineup:
Taurasi Riserva 1968
Taurasi Riserva 1977
Taurasi Riserva 1980
Taurasi Riserva 1987
Taurasi Riserva 1997
Taurasi Riserva 1999
Villa dei Misteri 2002*

*Villa dei Misteri is a wine made from a vineyard planted within the walls of Pompeii using ancient vineyard practices and winemaking techniques. The vineyard is about a single hectare (2.5 acres) so the wine is very rare.
