Baloro and Truffles

An evening where great Piedmont wines meet the distinctive flavour of truffles. A six-course menu built on honest ingredients, grilled dishes, homemade pasta, beef and black truffle, complemented by a selection of wines from Langhe and Barolo.

The evening opens with grilled sourdough bread with lardo di Colonnata, white truffle, Parmigiano and parsley, paired with Conterno Fantino Principi Chardonnay Langhe. Next comes an Italian classic in our style - vitello tonnato alla brace, grilled veal loin with tuna sauce, capers, anchovy and white truffle, accompanied by Conterno Fantino Bastia and Chardonnay Langhe.

Then comes duck breast from the fire with radicchio, cherries and red wine sauce with black truffle, paired with Conterno Fantino Ginestrino and Nebbiolo Langhe. Followed by homemade braised beef ravioli filled with braised beef, butter, sage, Parmigiano and white truffle, accompanied by Conterno Fantino MonPra and Langhe Rosso. The main course is tagliata from the lower rib with grilled onion, rocket, Parmigiano and black truffle, paired with Conterno Fantino Barolo Sori Ginestra. To finish, a 70% chocolate cream with mascarpone, hazelnut, black truffle and sea salt.

Each course is paired with wines from Langhe and especially Barolo, which have enough character to keep pace with the grill, beef and truffles - those wanting to get the most from the evening should choose wine pairings. This won't be an evening of small bites and waiting between courses - there will be eating, drinking and plenty of it. Barolo, truffles, grill and generous portions. Come hungry.
