Wines

 

Canapes

Ca’ Del Bosco Cuvee Franciacorta Rosato, NV

This sparkling rose has been described as a perfect marriage between Pinot Nero and Chardonnay. Vibrant and savory, with notes of pomegranate and strawberry alongside crisp acidity.

First Course

2021 Planeta, Cometa

From the Menfi region, this white wine is made with 100% Fiano grapes. Elegant, refreshing, and persistent with notes of lime, mandarin, pineapple, and honey.

Second Course

2011 Dal Forno Valpolicella Superiore

A unique Valpolicella, the grapes for this wine are dried prior to pressing, in similar style to Amarone. Ripe, rich, refined and complex, with notes of cherry, chocolate, and elderberry balanced with vibrant acidity.

Third Course

2007 Fontodi Flaccianello

This huge, full-bodied, yet well-balanced red wine is from an excellent year in Tuscany. Expect notes of candied cherries, violets, spices and minerals, and an intense finish.

 

Dessert

2017 Corte Giara, Recioto Della Valpolicella

This sweet red wine made from the same grapes as Valpolicella Superiore is intensely aromatic, and bursting with red fruits and herbs.
