PATRON/MAÎTRE SOMMELIER
PAOLO BARIANI
Before lading at Vecchio Ristoro, Paolo had two important experience abroad (Florida and Australia) and another crucial one at Ristorante Cracco in Milan. He moves then in Courmayeur at Petit Royal in 2016, where he meets Filippo Oggioni. They open first Dandelion Cuisine de Montagne in Courmayeur, and subsequently in 2019 they decide to take the lead on Vecchio Ristoro in Aosta.
The Wine List is constantly evolving, looking for perfect pairings with Chef Oggioni’s cuisine and exploring local, italian and foreign territories.
Specific attention is paid to small productions, sustainability and clean processing in cellars, without forgetting great wines that has become benchmarks for the most important geographical denominations.
