Bangkok--8 May--Eastin Grand Hotel Sathorn Bangkok
As the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance Tuscany has long been considered the centre of the country’s cultural movement. The region contains no less than seven World Heritage Sites including Florence, Siena, Pisa and the Medici Villas. With its western coastline on the Tyrrhenian Sea and a landscape dominated by rolling hills and fertile plains Tuscany’s combination of sheer beauty and high culture makes it one of the most visited destinations in Europe.
It is the fertility of the land which makes Tuscany so utterly perfect for the production of some of the finest vintages of wine available today. One household producing exemplary products from their vineyards is the Frescobaldi family, who have operated in the region for centuries. Their wines are often found on the “Best Of” lists of wine critics and connoisseurs for their subtle blending of the choicest grapes providing an incomparable experience for the palate.
Tuscan cuisine is the perfect complement to a glass of wine from the Frescobaldi cellars. Renowned for its hearty, honest and simple flavors the dishes of the region reflect the diverse choice of ingredients available to a Tuscan chef, including fresh seafood from the coast, meats ranging from domestic cattle to wild boar, famous Pici pasta and the freshest vegetables and herbs.
LUCE Italian Restaurant is honored to be able to offer discerning diners eager for a taste of authentic Tuscan cuisine the very best of both worlds as LUCE is the very first restaurant in Asia with a concept conceived and approved by the Frescobaldi family themselves. Luce’s aim is to seamlessly blend the finest vintages from Frescobaldi’s LUCE vineyards in Montalcino, Tuscany with simple home-style fare prepared with only the finest ingredients and containing an added “twist” to delight the senses. All this is carried out under the watchful eye and expert guidance of Chef Edoardo Bonavolta, himself a Tuscan native whose native cuisine has been a lifelong passion encouraged by his beloved grandmother, herself an experienced cook.
To celebrate this combination of Frescobaldi wines and Chef Edoardo’s sublime culinary creations during May and June 2014 LUCE will be presenting an exclusive Tuscan Food and Wine Experience menu featuring only the most sought-after ingredients and organic products including Wild boar slow-stewed in red wine, black olives and Italian herbs, Grilled rare grain-fed Angus Beef Tagliata, Homemade Pici pasta “Cacio e Pepe” with Pecorino di Pienza D.O.P. cheese, Tortelli Maremmani stuffed with ricotta and spinach as well as many more satisfyingly traditional dishes from Chef Edoardo’s youth.
