On Friday evening, October 24, Stage Left in New Brunswick, New Jersey, will host a special wine dinner featuring the La Fiorita wines of Roberto Cipresso, one of Tuscany’s greatest winemakers, writers, and educators.
Mr. Cipresso was the winemaker of the famous Brunello of Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona, which Stage Left has carried for almost 20 years. With several partners, Mr. Cipresso founded La Fiorita in Castelnuovo dell’Abate, a small town in southeastern Montalcino. His wines are nothing short of amazing. Wines will be poured from the ’07, ‘06, ‘04, ‘03, and ’01, including some riservas.
