First Course​
Antipasto- Roasted Delicata Squash with Burrata
Lightly charred squash rings with creamy Burrata, crispy sage, and a nutty vinaigrette.
Paired with La Spinetta Timorasso Derthona DOC 2023 | Piedmont
This structured and mineral-rich white has bright acidity and stone fruit notes that cut through the richness of
the burrata and complement the earthy squash and hazelnuts.
​​
Second Course
Wild Mushroom Risotto with Parmigiano-Reggiano and Black Pepper
creamy carnaroli rice with sautéed porcini and cremini mushrooms, finished with aged parmigiano.
​
Paired with Tenuta Santa Maria Pràgal Rosso 2022 | Veneto
La Spinetta Il Nero Di Casanova Toscana Sangiovese 2020 | Tuscany
​​
​
Third Course
Italian Porchetta with Tuscan White Bean, Roasted Root Vegetables
smoked and stuffed with seasonal herbs and garlic, and served over creamy beans
Paired with La Spinetta Il Nero Di Casanova Toscana Sangiovese 2020 | Tuscany
This bold yet elegant Sangiovese brings cherry, leather, and earthy spice to complement the porchetta and rustic
sides. Its acidity balances the richness of the dish, while the tannins pair beautifully with the protein.
​​
​
Fourth Course
Poached Pears with Honey, Citrus Zest and Almond Biscotti
fall pears gently poached in spiced moscato, served with a touch of citrus and a crunchy biscotti
Paired with La Spinetta Biancospino Moscato d’Asti 2023 | Piedmont
Effervescent, aromatic, and lightly sweet—this Moscato mirrors the fruit and floral notes in the dessert while
refreshing the palate with its acidity and low alcohol.
