FERRARO’S RISTORANTE ANNOUNCES SEPT. 21 TASTE & LEARN
FEATURING WINES FROM TUSCANY’S CAPANNA VINEYARDS
Ferraro’s Ristorante invites guests to experience its next Taste & Learn on Saturday, Sept. 21 at 5 p.m. with wines from Tuscany’s Capanna vineyards. Taste & Learn is Ferraro’s popular, monthly wine-tasting event that provides illuminating wine education along with a menu of imaginative, authentic Italian small plates created by Ferraro’s executive chef Mimmo Ferraro.
Hailing from the esteemed vineyards of Montalcino in Tuscany, Italy, Capanna represents the pinnacle of traditional winemaking. Established in 1957, the estate is a family-owned operation renowned for its dedication to crafting high-quality Brunello di Montalcino. The vineyards, nestled on the northern slopes of Montalcino, benefit from a unique microclimate and rich soils, which impart exceptional depth and complexity to the wines.
Taste & Learn attendees will begin the experience with the SanGioBi, a crisp white wine featuring a bouquet of fruity notes and a slightly acidic freshness. Second on the menu is the Rosso del Cerro, a ruby red wine pairing perfectly with flavorful and rich pasta dishes. Next is the Nicco Brunello di Montalcino, a grand red wine revealing complex aromas of rich red fruits. Lastly, guests will conclude the tasting with Moscadello di Montalcino, a golden Moscato with a sweet and well-balanced taste.
“The wines of Capanna are a true embodiment of Tuscany’s winemaking excellence,” said Mimmo Ferraro, executive chef, Ferraro’s. “The distinctive flavors of these exceptional wines will be highlighted by our menu of carefully curated dishes.”
