OLIO CHEF’S TABLE – Brunello and Friends
Experience the culinary joy when Brunello di Montalcino, known as ‘The King of Wine’, meets a decadent Sicilian degustation menu.
Brunello di Montalcino is a personal favourite of Chef Lino, who has designed a five-course menu that perfectly complements this style of Tuscan wine. Each course will be served with a matched glass of vino, featuring three different wines of Brunello, a Montepulciano, and an Italian-style Victorian Blanc de Blanc.
Brunello has aromas and flavours of blackberry, black raspberry, chocolate, leather and violets, with smooth tannins backed by a savoury punch. The wine’s brilliant acidity allows it to pair well with richly flavoured meat and Italian fare that highlights olive oil. Brunello is the perfect accompaniment to Chef Lino’s decadent menu, which includes courses of Wagyu beef cheek, sea urchin, and risotto with bone marrow butter – please see the full menu attached.
Chef Lino’s five-course menu is luxurious and decadent, indulging in the very best flavours and produce inspired by Sicily. His degustation menu, along with this selection of unique and rare wines, has been designed to be a once-in-a-lifetime treat for food and wine lovers.
