In October of 2021 we introduced Memphis to Josetta Saffirio wines and it was instantly a hit with our customers and it’s charming gnome-emblazoned label. They produce Barbera, Langhe Nebbiolo, classic Barolo as well as single vineyard and Riserva Barolo wine, the classic wines from this region. She also makes a beautiful sparkling brut Nebbiolo! We have wanted to do a Josetta Saffirio wine dinner for a while now because we knew it would be special because of how incredible the wines are and the stars have finally aligned to make it happen! We are beyond excited to announce that, Sara Vezza, the owner and winemaker of Josetta Saffirio and Sara Vezza Winery will be coming to Memphis for the first time to celebrate Bari Ristorante’s 23rd anniversary with us for this exclusive, one night only dinner. Sara is the fifth generation winemaker of her family in Piemonte and is doing incredible things to move her winery that was founded in 1948 forward by focusing on sustainability, biodiversity, and environmental protection.
This intimate evening will feature a specially curated four-course menu designed by our owner and chef, Jason Severs, to perfectly complement Sara’s incredible Josetta Saffirio and Sara Vezza wines. It’s a night to raise a glass to 23 years of Bari and to the incredible people who make our community and our wines so special.
If you weren’t able to get a seat this time, you may join a waiting list in case someone cancels and please be sure to follow us on social media for exclusive photos and highlights from the evening. And tell us in the comments below—what’s your favorite memory from dining with us at Bari?
