BRUSSELS: Ugo Frederico and Francesco Cury has invited winemaker Alessandra Divella for a special dinner at Racines in Brussels, Belgium.
The Italian wine maker who is known as the queen of bubbles on Gussago Hill in Franciacorta will be presenting a selection of her cuvées on Thursday 20 October in a first in a series of dinners being organised by the restaurant with winemakers present.
There will be two options during each evening. The first is to taste a classic Racines 4, 5 or six course menu with the possibility of a unique Divella wine-pairing where Alessandra will be present throughout the evening to guide guests through her selection of wines.
The second is a dinner with the winemaker which is a more intimate and exclusive experience on the same night. Here a private table will welcome 12 guests who will have the opportunity to dine with Alessandra and taste older vintages accompanied by a special menu created specifically to Divella’s region of origin.
In total, the restaurant will organise five evenings with five different wine makers.
In November there will be dinners with Sebastiano Cappon of Villa Calcinaia and Coni Capponi from the historic and beating heart of the Chianti Classico in Greve in Chianti.
This will be followed by Pietro Gambenini from Tenuta Ca on the shores of Lake Garda in Veneto.
The fourth evening will bring to Brussels Alessandra and Carlo Venturini of Mone Dall’Ora who have been making natural wines in Valpolicella.
Last but not least Federica and Pasquale Centatiempo from Campania will present the island of Ischia in a bottle.
Racines has established itself as one of the best Italian restaurants in Belgium and also is in the list of top Italian restaurants outside of Italy. Today, the restaurant in Flagey is one of Brussels gastronomic jewels.
Bookings for these special dinners can be made here.
