In an event that shone with sophistication and the exquisiteness of its offerings, La Piazzetta restaurant, nestled in the idyllic setting of Altos de Chav\u00f3n in Casa de Campo, held a memorable wine tasting accompanied by a seven-course tasting menu. The event, held on September 6 and 7, focused on the vibrant and diverse wine world of Mezzogiorno, the name by which Southern Italy is known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The wine tasting was led by the renowned sommelier Eduardo Garc\u00eda, certified by the prestigious Court of Master Sommeliers. Garc\u00eda, with his extensive experience and deep knowledge of wines, offered a complete immersion into the rich winemaking history of Mezzogiorno, a region known for its transformation in recent years. \u201cFor a long time, Mezzogiorno focused on producing low-quality, high-volume wines. However, in recent decades, it has re-emerged with extraordinary wines that reflect its true potential and tradition,\u201d Garc\u00eda commented during the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The attendees had the pleasure of tasting a carefully curated selection of nine representative wines from the region. Among the highlights were the Donnachiara 2022 Fiano di Avellino DOCG; Castorani 2019, Trebbiano d\u2019Abruzzo Riserva DOCG; the Occhipinti Siccagno 2018, Nero d\u2019Avola, IGT Terre Siciliane; and Mastroberardino Radici 2014, Taurasi DOCG. Each wine told a unique story of its region's terroir, climate, and winemaking tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Complementing the enological experience, Chef Rodrigo Men\u00e9ndez, Culinary Director of Casa de Campo, presented a tasting menu that highlighted the best of the region. The seven-course dinner included delights such as an orange and red shrimp salad, seafood arancini, crab, vitello tonnato, a creative interpretation of porchetta, gnocchi with ragu, and Sicilian cannoli. Each dish was meticulously designed to enhance the flavors of the wines and offer a memorable gastronomic experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The combination of exceptional wines and exquisite cuisine made this experience a true feast for the senses, solidifying La Piazzetta as an indispensable destination for lovers of fine food and drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
