Yes it has been 20 years, unbelievable! This Monday March 2nd we will have Biga's 20th anniversary, yes Biga opened in 2000 and is still going strong. I can't thank all of you enough. Zoe will bring the wine Prosecco, Arneis, Barbaresco and the Bindi Segarti reserve Chianti Classico.
Antipasti Grazing Table
Wine-LaLuca Prosecco DOC Veneto
“Creamy, off-dry style with flavors of apple and pear with subtle sweetness.”
1st CourseScallops with Blood Orange, Fennel and Pistachios
Wine-Marchesi Incisa della Rochetta Roero Arneis DOCG Piedmont
“Arneis is a white varietal (grape) indigenous to Piemonte, specifically from the Roero area, north west of Alba. Over the last several years Arneis’ popularity has grown enormously and since 2006 it has gained the DOCG appellation, the highest official quality ranking among Italian wines. Roero Arneis is a terroir driven wine, growing well in the sandy soils of the Roero hills. It expresses an unrivaled fruitiness, a delicate freshness and mineral notes.”
Pasta Course
Veal Cannelloni with Porcini Bechamel
Wine-Beni di Batasiolo Barbaresco DOCG Piedmont
“Bright, med (-) ruby garnet. Clean, med (+) intense aromas of tart red fruit, roses, medicinal herbs, tar, tobacco, earth and some oak spice. Dry, with med (+) acidity, tannins and alcohol (13.5%). Med (+) body, flavor intensity and length, with a savory finish. It is approachable at six years but should reward further cellar aging.”
Entrée
Italian Bone-in Pork Roast
Sicilian Pesto with Almonds and Tomatoes
Wine-Bindi Segarti “Calidonia” Chianti Classico Reserva DOCG Tuscany
“Intense ruby red color. The nose shows fruity and floral notes together with spices and incense. Soft, elegant and well structured. Freshness, complexity, graceful and silky tannins are the result of a careful selection of Sangiovese grapes growing on Alberese and Galestro soils. This wine is vibrant and has a long and persistent aftertaste. It is an excellent
expression of Mocenni’s terroir and of Chianti Classico Riserva.”
Dessert
Ricotta Crespelle
Raspberry Sauce and Whip Cream
