April 18 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
£35.00
Explore the wines and winemaking of one of Piedmont’s most sustainable family estates
Join us for an intimate evening with Lucrezia Povero, part of the new generation at Cantine Povero, a family-run winery in the heart of Piedmont. You’ll taste a mix of expressive, organically made wines—including elegant Barbera, floral Arneis, and two Nebbiolo-based icons: Barolo and Barbaresco—while hearing directly from Lucrezia about the estate’s deep-rooted traditions and low-intervention philosophy.
We’ll be pouring a selection of her family’s classics alongside the exciting new Cascina Vèngore range—recently launched and already turning heads. With just 10 tickets available, it’ll be a relaxed evening of great wines, thoughtful conversation, and plenty of Italian charm.

Who Is This For?
If you enjoy Pinot Noir or more structured Italian reds like Chianti or Brunello, you’ll likely love this tasting. Nebbiolo is pale in colour but powerful in structure, with incredible perfume and ageing potential. You’ll also get to try Barbera and Arneis, making this a brilliant way to explore the diversity of Piedmont in one evening.
Perfect for:
- Fans of Italian wine, especially northern reds
- Anyone curious about organic winemaking in traditional regions
- Wine lovers keen to explore the nuances of Nebbiolo
- Those looking for an educational but relaxed tasting experience
No prior wine knowledge needed—just curiosity and a love of good wine.
