Ristorante Fratelli and Cork wine shop present the wines of Tormaresca
July 16, 2009
Steps from the Adriatic sea, ancient towers guard the red clay and limestone of the Masseria Maime at the heart of the Salento peninsula. A hundred miles to the north, the Bocca di Lupo calls back, low and long and full throated. Twenty-six generations of the Antinori family have passed on the legacy that Marchese Piero Antinori brings to the riches and history of Puglia. Join us at Ristorante Fratelli on Tuesday July 28th for a call of the wild with the passionate wines of Tormaresca paired with Puglian inspired dishes. Chairs at six with repast at six-thirty. Please call the restaurant for reservations.
The evening’s pairings will include the following…
2007 Chardonnay paired with pan seared Albacore tuna, with mixed greens, capers and an herb vinaigrette
2003 Torcicoda Primitivo accompanied by a puree of fava beans with chicory and Pecorino Margherita
2007 Neprica served with house made gnocchetti, with braised rabbit and roasted summer squash
2003 Masseria Maime Negroamaro to be enjoyed with a traditional eggplant caponata
2003 Bocca di Lupo Aglianico standing with wood fire oven roasted lamb, extra virgin olive oil poached potatoes, and a Bocca di Lupo glace’, finished with truffle salt and Pianogrillio extra virgin olive oil
