A Delightful Selection of Italian Wines and Appetizers

Our terrace offers a curated experience featuring a diverse selection of Italian wines and appetizers, designed to transport you to the heart of Italy. Among the numerous options available, we proudly showcase wines from noteworthy regions such as Tuscany, Piedmont, and Veneto. Each wine is distinct, carrying the essence of its terroir, and we ensure our collection includes both popular choices and exclusive selections that are rare to find.

Tuscany, renowned for its Sangiovese-based wines, offers the robust and aromatic Chianti Classico, with its fruity essence and subtle spice notes. From Piedmont, we present the noble Barolo and Barbaresco, derived from the Nebbiolo grape, distinguished by their intense flavors, complex aromas, and impressive aging potential. Veneto graces our list with the vibrant Prosecco, perfect for any celebration, and the rich, full-bodied Amarone, offering deep, dried fruit flavors and a velvety texture.

Complementing these exquisite wines, our selection of appetizers is crafted with the freshest ingredients and inspired by traditional Italian recipes. Delight in our bruschetta, topped with ripe tomatoes, fresh basil, and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil; or savor the smooth, creamy burrata paired with heirloom cherry tomatoes and a hint of balsamic reduction. The delicate octopus salad, marinated to perfection, or the rich meat and cheese platters featuring Prosciutto di Parma and Parmigiano-Reggiano, enhance the tasting experience, drawing out the best qualities of the wines they accompany.

The ambiance on our terrace adds an unforgettable element to your visit. Imagine sipping a Tuscan red while enjoying the gentle breeze and panoramic views, surrounded by lush greenery and the tranquil sounds of nature. The terrace’s rustic charm and serene setting create an inviting and intimate atmosphere, perfect for enjoying the harmonious blend of flavors and aromas. Whether for a casual evening or a special occasion, the terrace experience strikes a perfect chord, elevating the culinary journey and making each moment truly memorable.
