What is included in Villa 47’s Italian food and wine pairing?
- The evening starts before the first official course with an arrival bite of Prosciutto Crudo wrapped polenta chip with gorgonzola sauce, paired with Asolo Prosecco Brut. Bubbles and prosciutto make a fairly persuasive opening argument for the evening ahead.
- The first course is Carpaccio di Polipo, paired with Zenato Chiaretto Bardolino.
- Next comes Ravioli con Gamberi, paired with Feudi di San Gregorio Greco di Tufo. A lemon Sgroppino with mint and basil then arrives as a palate cleanser before the menu moves into its richer main course.
- For the main event, Villa 47 is serving braised oxtail with mash, paired with Vietti Barolo Castiglione.
- Dessert keeps things properly Italian with cannoli, followed by Grappa Amarone Riserva Le Giare.
