Beef tenderloin pasta with truffle
Classic Italian everyday luxury: tender cubes of beef tenderloin, a silky cream and red wine sauce, fresh pasta and a generous scoop of parmesan. Served with our premium wine 13 Riserva — a Montepulciano d'Abruzzo with structure enough to meet the meat and fruit enough to lift the sauce.

Pairs with Campania Aglianico "Tinto" IGP
Meatballs in tomato sauce
Classic Italian meatballs in tomato sauce — polpette al sugo — simmered slowly in a simple passata sauce. No raisins or pine nuts, just meat, day-old bread, cheese, parsley and tomato, exactly as in a home in southern Italy.

Pairs with Campania Greco di Tufo "Sepofà"
Seafood salad with octopus, squid and cuttlefish
A classic Italian seafood salad — insalata di mare — with octopus, squid and cuttlefish. Each one is poached separately for a perfect texture, then served cold with olive oil, lemon and parsley.

Wine pairing for Spaghetti Vongole
- Greco di Tufo "Sepofà" — salty minerality and citrus meet the sea-brine of the clams without overpowering the garlic and parsley.
