The evening begins with an elegant amuse-bouche of Melon & Prosciutto, featuring compressed cantaloupe wrapped in 24-month prosciutto, finished with basil oil and flaky sea salt. This refreshing opening course is paired with Cuvée Aurora Rosé Extra Brut, an Alta Langa DOCG sparkling wine that delivers vibrant bubbles and crisp elegance to complement the savory sweetness of the dish.

Guests will then enjoy the first course of Fried Burrata, where crispy fried burrata is served over slow-roasted tomato sauce with basil oil and panko crumbs. The rich, creamy flavors are beautifully balanced by Traversa Dei Monti Sangiovese, a Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG that offers bright acidity and classic Tuscan character.

The second course features Parmesan Cream Linguini with Shrimp, prepared with fresh linguini tossed in Parmigiano Reggiano cream, truffle butter, and cracked black pepper. This indulgent pasta course is paired with La Pettegola Vermentino, a Toscana IGT white wine known for its refreshing citrus notes and lively finish.

For the entrée, guests will savor a perfectly wood-grilled Filet Mignon with Charred Romesco, accompanied by crispy parmesan polenta and charred broccolini. The bold flavors of the steak and smoky Romesco sauce are complemented by Magna Cum Laude Super Tuscan Blend, a Toscana IGT red wine that delivers remarkable depth and complexity.

The evening concludes with a warm Olive Oil Cake served with mascarpone cream, Amarena cherries, and pistachio. This classic Italian-inspired dessert is paired with Rosa Regale Dolce Sparkling Red, a Brachetto D’Acqui DOCG that provides delicate sweetness and lively bubbles for a memorable finish.
