- LA SCIAMADDA DEI VINACCIERI BALLERINI - Embark on a distinctive journey through the exquisite flavors of Liguria. A skilled sommelier will lead the tasting of five Riserva wines from Vinaccieri Ballerini, perfectly paired with exceptional local culinary delights.
The experience begins with NAVIGATO BIANCO, crafted from Vermentino grapes — dry, sophisticated, and deeply connected to Sestri Levante.
Following is TRAM, an innovative fusion of Vermentino and Traminer Aromatico, developed in partnership with Luca De Paoli — a delightful surprise!
Next, TERRANOVA, a rich red wine combining partially dried Granaccia grapes with Merlot, Syrah, and Sangiovese, created in a style reminiscent of Amarone but with a genuine Ligurian essence.
Then comes KAVA, a Brut Sparkling Wine (Metodo Classico) made from Pinot Noir, aged 36 months on the lees and matured for 12 months in the copper mines of Masso — refined, with hints of vanilla and fresh bread crust.
The tasting concludes with ALEA, a Sicilian Malvasia inspired by the cherished Sciacchetrà.
