BOCELLI FAMILY WINES
“For almost 200 years, the Bocelli’s have crafted classic Italian wines on their small single estate. Beginning in the 18th century, they were mere sharecroppers on the property of the noble Corsini family. On March 21, 1831, however, Gaspero Bocelli used all his savings to liberate himself and became a landowner. Acquiring the small Poggioncino parcel for the sum of 1000 scudi, he began growing Sangiovese. 7 generations later, Alberto and Andrea Bocelli have revolutionized the cellar, transforming their family farm into a world-class winery that blends the past and present. Needless to say, the two brothers have embarked on various other paths over the years. Alberto earned his degree in architecture, and Andrea studied in law prior to his career as a world-renowned tenor. Over time, however, the estate has remained a center of gravity for both and, Renaissance men to the core, they have struck upon the perfect balance of art and science with their creations.”

1st Course
Spicy Shrimp over Creamy Polenta

Wine-Bocelli Prosecco DOC, Veneto

“Long before Andrea Bocelli was famous for music, his family was known for making wine. For over 130 years, they have crafted classic Italian wines on their Tuscan farm. Now, in collaboration with the Lovo family in the Veneto, they bring this beautiful sparkler to the rest of the world. Motivated by their considerable charitable endeavors, the Bocelli’s enjoy few things more than sharing Italian music, food, and wines like this one with their friends. Mineral-laden, and with crisp, beautiful perlage, Italy”s kiss of citrus and peach in a glass.”

2nd Course
Classic Tuscan Lasagna

Wine-Bocelli Alcide IGT, Tuscany

“Made from 70-year-old Sangiovese vines and lush, bright Cabernet Sauvignon, Alcide is named for the grandfather of Alberto and Andrea Bocelli. With a tiny case production, this is a thought-driven, elegant blend from the private family farm of the famed Italian tenor. Deftly coopered with French oak barriques, the old vines lend a terrific minerality and intensity to the wine – one that can’t be duplicated by young vines or large production. A very rare treat for the discriminating Italophile or classical music aficionado.”

Entrée
Pork loin in the Style of Porchetta
Lemon Roast Potatoes

Wine-Bocelli In Canto, Tuscany

“From Andrea Bocelli family estate in Toscana comes In Canto, named after his first studio album. A smooth and powerful Cabernet, this elegant red confidently fills the senses. With just a few hundred cases made, every plant is fussed over, and every bottle counts. Andrea’s brother, Alberto Bocelli, makes this wine with a genuine passion for the French-origin varietal. In their hometown of Lajatico, near Pisa, the ripening season is longer than many other areas, yielding a decadent wine with genuine character.”
