Aperitivo
An assortment of Chef Franco’s seasonal tray passed appetizers
JACUZZI FAMILY VINEYARDS PINA ASOLO PROSECCO SUPERIORE DOCG BRUT
(laced with silver & gold powder by DelBrenna)
Lush and refreshing with apple, peach and pineapple flavors, a flowery nose and
persistent effervescence. Imported from Italy, the DOCG rating refers to its superior quality.
Antipasto
Carpaccio di Manzo con Fonduta Valdostana Tartufata
Thin slices of cured beef, drizzled with warm truffle infused
Fontina cheese sauce from Valle D’Aosta
LEUTA TOSCANA TAU
Italy – Tuscany – 2012
A blend of 60% merlot, 30% cabernet franc and 10% syrah aged in french barrique for a year. A little big wine. A wonderfully floral bouquet of roses and lavender with hints of raspberries. A juicy, succulent full body enveloped by velvety tannins before a sophisticated finish. The use of barrique comes across nicely but not too much.
Primo
Tortelloni alla Bolognese
Homemade large tortellini filled with imported Mortadella, braised beef and veal,
Parmigiano Regiano and nutmeg served with a traditional creamy Bolognese sauce
LEUTA CORTONA MERLOT 1618
Italy – Tuscany – 2011
Richly perfumed with cherry cola, herbs and spices.
Medium-bodied with a silky texture, a generous oak frame and a chewy tannin finish.
Secondo
Spezzatino di Manzo
Prime tenderloin of beef braised slowly with Mediterranean herbs,
capers sundried tomatoes and potatoes
LEUTA CABERNET FRANC TOSCANA 2618
Italy – Tuscany – 2013
A ripe and slightly raisiny red with refined tannins and a juicy finish. More Loire-style than Bordeaux.
Dolce
Pastiera Napoletana
Neopolitan style ricotta tart
LEUTA TOSCANA LEUTA NAUTILUS SINGLE BARREL SELECT
Italy – Tuscany – 2013
A blend of 33% Sangiovese, 33% of Syrah and 33% Merlot.
A beautiful, juicy red with plum, chocolate and berry character. Full and velvety-textured. Savory finish. I like the almost salty undertone to the ripe-cherry character.
