Experience Northern Italy Uncorked

Five Small Plates. Five Wine Pairings. One Evening Inspired by Italy.
Saturday, November 14 • 6:00 PM

As the holiday season approaches, we're bringing Italy back to the Résolu table for an intimate evening of food, wine, stories and a little Italian inspiration.

Join Résolu Cellars and Alessandra Gardino of Customized Journeys for a special evening exploring the flavors, wines and traditions of Northern and Central Italy through the lens of food, wine and travel.

This isn't a traditional dinner. It's a curated small-plate wine pairing experience, designed to let each dish and wine shine together.

Guests will enjoy five chef-created tasting plates prepared by FG Amore Chef Micah, paired with five Résolu wines. Each pairing will explore the relationship between Italian-inspired cuisine and the varietals that have influenced Scott's winemaking.

The Wines

The evening will feature four of Résolu's Italian-inspired reds, along with one of our traditional-method sparkling wines:

2022 Barbera
Bright and lively with cherry, violet and savory herbal notes. A naturally food-friendly Italian classic.
Gold, 2026 PDX Seafood & Wine • 87 Points, Savor NW

2022 Sangiovese | Super Tuscan Style
91% Sangiovese with Merlot and Malbec, offering juicy red fruit, blackberry, anise and soft tannins.
Silver, 2026 PDX Seafood & Wine • 84 Points, Savor NW

2022 Vino Barbitivo
A Résolu signature blend of Barbera and Primitivo. Plush dark berry and bramble fruit meet vanilla, spice and tobacco.
Silver, 2026 Pacific NW Wine Competition

2022 Primitivo
Bold and fruit-forward with boysenberry, dark cherry, plum and chocolate, finishing with lingering spice and richness.
Silver, 2026 Pacific NW Wine Competition • 86 Points, Savor NW

2022 Traditional-Method Sparkling Wine
We'll begin, or perhaps finish, with bubbles. The final sparkling selection and pairing will be chosen alongside Chef Micah's menu.

More Than a Pairing

Throughout the evening, Winemaker Scott Nelson will share the stories behind the wines while Alessandra Gardino brings the regions, cuisine and culture of Italy to life.

You'll also get a glimpse of Northern Italy Uncorked, the handcrafted May 2027 journey Scott and Kathie have selected for a small group of fellow wine and travel enthusiasts.

Whether Italy is on your travel list, Italian wine is already in your glass, or you simply love discovering what happens when the right food and wine come together, consider this your chance to escape to Italy for an evening without leaving Hillsboro.
