First Course
​
Artichoke Three Ways
Enjoy the three traditional ways of cooking Artichokes in Lazio, Alla Romana, Alla Giudia and Fried
paired with Poggio Le Volpi “Frascati Superiore” DOCG
Bright pale yellow. On the nose reminds pear and green apple, then elderflower, grass, and white flowers.
Second Course
Suppli’ Misti
Crispy fried rice and pasta ball inspired by the three classic roman sauces: Cacio and Pepe, Carbonara and
Amatriciana.
paired with Poggio Le Volpi “Tater” Cabernet Sauvignon Private Edition
Smooth, ripe and lush, with a pretty core of herb-accented plum and cherry flavors. Full-bodied wine, fruity,
spicy, long and persistent finish
​
Third Course
Coda alla Vaccinara
The classic Roman oxtail stew, served with celery, carrots on a bed of creamy polenta.
paired with Poggio Le Volpi “Baccarossa” deep and bright ruby red. Very intense on the nose of black ripe
fruit, cherries in alcohol, mediterranean wood, cocoa powder, cloves, iron, graphite, framed in a balsamic
sensation. Very smooth and elegant in the mouth, with ripe tannins, well balanced, great in the aromatic
progression, mouthfilling and very long in persistence
​
Fourth Course
Maritozzo con la Panna
The most typical Roman dessert, lightly sweet buns with a homemade whipped cream filling
paired with Poggio Le Volpi “Donnaluce” Intensely aromatic on the nose with sensations of gooseberry,
apricot and peach, lychees, chinese mandarin, white flower, and a finish of honey and almond. Silky and
persuasive in the mouth, fruity, fresh, dangerously drinkable and very long in persistence.
