1st Course
Roast Trout with Sauteed Tomato and Basil

Wine-Batasiolo Gavi DOCG
“Pale straw yellow in colour, clear and bright, with greenish tinges. Fresh and floral nose, good intensity and persistence. In the mouth, it is dry and pleasantly fresh with typical final sensation reminiscent of almonds.”

2nd Course
Risotto with Veal, Hazelnuts and Grana Padano

Wine-Batasiolo Barbera d’Alba DOC
“The colour is ruby red with violet tinges. The bouquet has good intensity and persistence, winy expression of fruit and vegetables. The palate is dry, with good acidity and very delicate, almost imperceptible tannins.”

Entrée
Grilled Filet with Truffled Mushrooms

Wine-Batasiolo Barolo DOCG
“Deep garnet red colour. The bouquet has all the typical aromas of the Nebbiolo grape which after refining is flowery and toasty with hints of sweet spices, nuts and typically delicate herbaceous aromas. In the mouth, the perfect balance of tannins, crispness and alcohol content offer bold yet absolutely elegant and pleasing sensations. Good intensity and persistence confirm this wine as one of the best expressions of the Langa.”

Dessert
Chocolate Bunet Custard

$50 per person
