The Brunello di Montalcino wines are quite possibly one of Italy’s greatest contributions to the gastronomic world. This is why the dinner on November 28 (Wednesday)—which highlights wines from San Polino—is worth getting excited about.
The featured wines are the San Polino Brunello di Montalcino 2011 and 2012, as well as the San Polino Brunello di Montalcino Helichrysum 2011and 2012. These were specifically chosen by Daniel Fabbro (son of a winemaker) to pair with resident chef Dalton Fong’s reimagined Italian cuisine.
Fabbro will be at the event to take guests through the interesting stories and tasting notes of the chosen wines, as guests savour inspired dishes such as Japanese wagyu carpaccio with an earthy truffle dressing, grated horseradish, capers and parmigiana; gnocchi elevated with Spanish black ragu and parmigiana; and New Zealand grass-fed lamb cutlet in a pistachio crust served with a seasonal salad.
