FERRARO’S RISTORANTE ANNOUNCES EXCLUSIVE WINE DINNER FEATURING SAN LEONARDO, SATURDAY, MARCH 1
Ferraro’s Ristorante invites guests to an exclusive wine dinner featuring northern Italian winemaker San Leonardo on Saturday, March 1, at 6 p.m. Wine enthusiasts are invited to experience an extraordinary evening celebrating San Leonardo’s prestigious collection, paired perfectly with a curated multi-course menu from executive chef Mimmo Ferraro. In attendance for the event will also be Marchese Anselmo Guerrieri Gonzaga, San Leonardo’s head winemaker.
San Leonardo is a storied estate with a history dating back more than 300 years.
