WINEMAKERS DINNER MENU

CROSTINI MISTI - A selection of Italian stuzzichini

Paired with Prosecco Brut NV, Bernadi Gently sparkling full of delicious ripe apple, plum and pear fruits

GUAZZETTO DI PESCE - A classic Tuscan dish of seafood in a rich fish broth

Paired with Antonio Camillo 2007 Maremma Bianco IGT “ALTURE” Varieties: 100% Sauvignon This is a lovely balanced Sauvignon with a clean, fresh nose and gentle notes of pink grapefruit and peach. Mineral and crisp to boot.

PAPPARDELLE AL SUGO DI CONIGLIO - Fresh pappaerdelle pasta with rabbit ragu

Paired with Poggio Argentiera 2007 Morellino di Scansano DOCG “BELLAMARSILIA” Varieties: 75% Sangiovese “Morellino”, 15% Syrah, 10% Alicante The ripe, delicious fruit flavours continue into the long satisfying finish. This is a wine designed for drinking while it is young and zesty.

TAGLIATA DI MANZO CON RUCOLA ED ERBE - Grilled Sirloin steak sliced and served on a bed of rocket with fresh herbs

Paired with Fattoria di Rodano (ORGANIC) 2001 Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG “VIACOSTA” Varieties: 100% Sangiovese 60% of the wine spends 20 months in large oak botte, the remainder in small barrels – half of which are new. Initial concentrated flavours of classic bitter cherry and smoked almonds open out to an impeccably balanced palate showing plenty of dark chocolate, black cherries and cigar box aromas. The finish displays a dash of vanilla and cedar from the French oak aging. Forward red and black fruits are lush and coat the mouth, while chewy tannins offer up a powerful grip.

FORMAGGI MISTI TOSCANI - A selection of artisan cheeses

Paired with Tenimenti Angelini 2003 Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Growing area: Hills of Montalcino, near Siena Varieties: 100% Sangiovese This is a truly fine wine and impeccable example of Tuscan winemaking at its best. Harmonious, intense nose of leather, chocolate and sweet cherries is followed by smooth, velvety texture, full bodied palate with complex, multilayered red fruit supported by the powerful backbone of ripe tannins and new oak. Density and precision of its very long and focused finish reveals white truffles, earthy balsamic notes interwoven with mocha, liquid minerals and candied fruit.
