Description
This proposal includes a guided wine tasting of 5 Firriato wines paired with local raw materials based dishes made by the Executive Chef Andrea Macca, at La Riserva Bistrot. We begin with a tour of the estate, a walk through the Etna DOC vineyards, including the ancient seventeenth-century Palmento and the discovery of the prefillossera 150 year old vineyard. The tour will end with a visit to the cellar, an example of bio-architecture created within an ancient lava flow.
This innovative format combines a guided tasting of a selection of Firriato wines (5 labels) and a complete Lunch, from the starter to the dessert.
