Bangkok--28 Aug--Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit
Rossini’s award-winning Italian restaurant at Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Bangkok, together with Italasia invites you to an exceptional Allegrini Wine Dinner on Friday August 30, 2013.
Discerning diners can enjoy a truly unforgettable gastronomic experience with Michelin-starred Chef Alfredo Russo and an outstanding selection of Allegrini wines from Italy’s Valpolicella region. Guests at the dinner can also take part in a wine auction as part of the “UNICEF Fund Raising Events 2013”.
Chef Alfredo, the culinary tour de force behind the internationally acclaimed Michelin star restaurant, Il Dolce Stil Novo in Turin will present a sublime dinner menu created especially to complement Allegrini wines. Located in north eastern Italy, the Allegrini estate is steeped in the culture and heritage of Fumane di Valpolicella, a small village just north of Verona. Since the sixteenth century, the Allegrini family has engaged in a tireless pursuit of perfection. Today, the family continue to uphold their rich legacy and combine indigenous grape varieties with innovative techniques to produce renowned Italian wines.
At the memorable 5-course dinner guests will be welcomed with Chef Alfredo’s delightful savory bites and sparkling Corte Giara Prosecco DOC, Treviso 2011. Seated in Rossini’s enchanting Tuscan villa setting, diners will enjoy the first course of the evening, John Dory with sweet garlic sauce, broccoli and crispy Brussels sprouts served with Soave Classico DOC, Allegrini 2011. The second dish, tortelli stuffed with artichokes, goat cheese and crispy bacon will be paired with Allegrini Valpolicella Superiore DOC, 2010. A blend of three local grapes varieties, Corvina, Rondinalla and Molinara, the wine’s character is defined by heady cherry aromas and is regarded as one of the region’s most distinctive wines.
The evening of the Michelin star Italian cuisine will also include potato soup with foie gras, black truffle and aged Parmesan cheese complemented by Allegrini Palazzo Della Torre IGT, 2009. A beautiful expression of the local Corvina and Rondinella grapes, Palazzo della Torre is an example modern Italian winemaking at its best. Chef Alfredo’s succulent lamb chops with creamed corn, nutmeg and lavender will be matched with the wonderfully intense and complex Allegrini Amarone della Valpollicella Classico DOC, 2008 while his luscious dessert of Gianduia parfait with hazelnut mousse and crunchy hazelnuts will be served with Allegrini Recioto Classico Giovanni, 2009, an extraordinarily concentrated sweet wine named after the estate’s founder, Giovanni Allegrini. The unforgettable evening of gourmet cuisine and fine wines will end with petit fours from Rossini and coffee and tea.
During the Allegrini Wine Dinner, diners can also bid for outstanding wines in a fun auction and make an important contribution to “UNICEF Fund Raising Events 2013”. UNICEF is the world's leading children's charity dedicated to protecting the health, education and rights of children and young people.
