Le Marche Wine Dinner
With four courses crafted by Chef Marco Maestoso, who has cooked for names like former Italian President Giorgio Napolitano and Donatella Versace, this one-night-only experience will be available to guests visiting at any time between 5 and 10 p.m. For this wine-paired dinner menu, sommelier Petra Belliti has selected several varietals from Italy’s Le Marche region, set between the Apennine Mountains and the Adriatic Sea and often considered one of Italy’s hidden gems where few non-Italian tourists venture - thus resulting in a wine dinner imbued with unexpected authenticity.
Maestoso’s Le Marche dinner menu includes: Amuse Bouche Un’Oliva all’Ascolana - breaded, deep fried olives stuffed with ground meats Spumante Brut Rosè, Marotti Campi - dry, harmonious and fresh with notes of blackcurrants and sweet almonds Antipasto Pinsa Fiori di Zucca e Paranza Fritta - pinsa topped with zucchini blossoms and fried mix of fresh fish Pecorino DOCG “Merlettaie” Ciu Ciu - deep straw-yellow color, very intense and persistent scent, grassy and hawthorn blossoms aroma, with vanilla perfume Primo Tagliatella di Camerino ai Sapori del Borgia - thin tagliatelle in a gorgonzola cream, radicchio and guanciale sauce dedicated to the Noble family of Camerino Salmariano Castelli di Jesi Verdicchio Classico Riserva DOCG, Marotti Campi - aromas of broom and elderflower, marine and mineral hints with a delicate touch of vanilla Secondo Coniglio Porchettato - rabbit wrapped and roasted in the style of Roman porchetta Orgiolo Lacrima di Morro d’Alba D.O.C.
