Why would someone travel for a day to buy Parmigiano Reggiano from Enoteca Sileno? It\u2019s about the cheese, definitely, but it\u2019s ultimately about trust.\nOn the occasion of the Melbourne institution\u2019s 70th birthday, we spend a special double episode with Rosemary and John Portelli, the custodians of an import, wholesale and retail business founded by Rosemary\u2019s father Gino Di Santo in 1953.\xa0\nIn this first episode, we hear from Rosemary about the origins of Enoteca Sileno, which started as an importer and wholesaler, moved to its first shop in Amess Street, Carlton North in 1982, and shifted to its current old pub emporium nearby in 2004.\nThe soul of Enoteca Sileno has always been to celebrate artisan food and drink, a tender and enthusiastic honouring of the farmers and makers, and a belief in legacy and family. Everything is here for a reason, and everything has a story.\n\nhttps://www.enoteca.com.au/?utm_source=agfg.com.au&utm_medium=referral\n\nFollow Dirty Linen on Instagram\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast\n\nFollow Dani Valent\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/danivalent\n\nFollow Rob Locke (Executive Producer)\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/\n\nFollow Huck (Executive Producer)\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/\n\nLISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS\n\nhttps://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork\n\nDirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.
