A Taste of Tuscany Dinner- Wednesday, April 22- 6:30 to 9:30 pm
A wine and culinary tour of Tuscany: wines, food and culture to celebrate International Slow Food Earth Day.
A fantastic team of Chefs and Sommeliers will guide you through the wine routes and the local ‘cucina povera’ of Tuscany.
To start we will taste two appetizers, Crostini Misti accompanied by the best Sangiovese from some of the most intriguing DOCs and DOCGs of Tuscany Followed by Cacciucco alla Livornese (yes, spelled with five ‘c’s) , a zesty seafood stew, Livorno style, (from sustainable sources) matched with a Vernaccia di San Gimignano or a Vermentino, both tasty, crisp, aromatic, Tuscan native grape varieties.. The main event of this culinary tour is Arista di Cinghiale, a stuffed wild boar loin with farro, fennel and bean salad. Biscotti e panforte di Siena al Vin Santo, this almond and aniseed biscotti served with a spiced fruit and nut cake will no doubt end this meal with a smile! Tastes from our Italian roots with ingredients from local sustainable sources. A short educational lecture and slide show will, as usual, make the evening unique and unforgettable.
