1st Course
Spicy Clam Sauce with Creamy Polenta
Wine-Sommariva Prosecco Superior Brut, Veneto
“In the shadow of the Alps, poor, well-draining soils at higher altitude yield elegant, aromatic bubbly worlds apart from the mass-produced wines flooding the market. Cinzia Sommariva is an adamant ambassador of the style, following in her parents’ footsteps to consistently craft a Prosecco of total class and charm—no mimosas necessary.”
2nd Course
Pasta with Veal Ragu and Truffle Cream
Wine-Tenuta La Pergola Monferrato Rosso, Piedmont
“We often talk about the ultimate bistro wine, but what about the ultimate trattoria wine—the kind of carefree, delicious red you can drink from a carafe at lunchtime alongside a plate of pasta or assorted salumi? Having spent countless hours collectively at roadside lunch stops throughout Italy, we can tell you this bottle, with its perfect balance of bright red fruit, tannin, and acidity, is the trattoria rosso of our dreams. Sustainable.”
Entrée
Pork loin in the style of Porchetta
Wine-Sesti Monteleccio, Tuscany
" Monteleccio is an enormously pleasurable wine that evokes juicy, ripe cherries, rhubarb, and a touch of mint. This rosso is filled with class, but it doesn't take itself too seriously. This Monteleccio can probably also go the distance beyond the short, explosive sprint we love it for. That is where the nobility of the Brunello-quality grapes comes in. Succulent and tightly coiled, with a beautifully integrated tannin and outstanding finesse, this 'baby Brunello' punches way above its weight and will serve you well again and again!”
Dessert
Rosemary Olive Oil Cake
Vanilla Gelato
