Pardi With Via Umbria At Casa Luca Aug 23

Join Via Umbria on Sunday, August 23rd, at 5:30 pm in welcoming Albertino Pardi to Casa Luca. A very special dinner will be prepared with great wines from Cantina Fratelli Pardi paired with the exquisite cuisine from their native region of Umbria, prepared by the executive chef at Casa Luca with consultation from an Umbrian chef.

The Pardi story begins just outside the city walls of Montefalco, Umbria, in the heart of Sagrantino country. In 1919, the brothers Alfredo (1880-1953), Francesco (1882-1965) and Alberto Pardi (1889- 1943) established the Cantina Fratelli Pardi.

From 1919 to 1945, the brothers worked the grapes of their family vineyards by hand on the ground floor of the abbey of San Francesco in Montefalco. The Bianco, Rosso and Sagrantino Passito wines produced in this historic winery were marketed all over Italy, and the most prestigious buyer was the Vatican.
