OH! MOSCATO!

WINEMAKER SUPPER WITH RENATA BONACINA

11th November, 7.30pm for 8.00pmHigh Timber, EC4V 3PA-3 courses + wines + coffeeTickets £60

When we paid Piedmont a visit earlier this year we guzzled many a Moscato d'Asti to find the perfect blend of fizz, sweetness, style and adorability – at the right price.

Cà ed Balos ticks all the boxes. A small-production family winery with 6.5 hectares, crafting gorgeous wines with a big heart (not forgetting some gorgeous looking bottles too). As well as stunning Moscato d'Asti, Renata Bonacina and her team make bouncy, spritzy Favorita (the local name for Vermentino), fruity red Dolcetto d'Alba and some luscious dessert wine, Dorè.

Grapes are hand-picked and farmed sustainably with minimal use of fertilisers and pesticides, using 'green manure' to improve the fertility of their soils and reduce further the need for chemicals. Vines are pruned on young wood to increase longevity. Cà ed Balos balances experimental technology with traditional methods, making modern Moscato to put a smile on your face.

Renata Bonacina will take us through her wines in the classy surroundings of High Timber's private cellar dining room. These are gorgeous wines and we are so proud to be launching them here in Britain.

Our dinners at High Timber are easy-going and intimate evenings, limited to 12 people around the table, with superlative food and service.
