"Your first-course should give your guests an unforgettable authentic taste of Tuscany, showcasing regional products at their finest."

1. Pecorino Toscano & Chianti Classico  

The sharp and nutty flavor of Pecorino Toscano pairs beautifully with the bold, fruity notes of Chianti Classico.


2. Prosciutto di Parma & Vernaccia di San Gimignano  

The delicate saltiness of Prosciutto di Parma is complemented by the crisp, floral taste of Vernaccia di San Gimignano, one of Tuscany’s finest white wines.


3. Finocchiona (Fennel Salami) & Rosso di Montalcino  

The herby, fennel-spiced Finocchiona works perfectly with the medium-bodied, red fruit flavors of Rosso di Montalcino.


4. Cinghiale (Wild Boar Salami) & Vino Nobile di Montepulciano  

This rich, gamey salami pairs wonderfully with Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a structured red with notes of cherry and leather.


5. Burrata & Vermentino  

The creamy, fresh Burrata balances well with the zesty, citrus notes of Vermentino, a refreshing Tuscan white wine.


6. Bresaola & Brunello di Montalcino  

Bresaola, with its lean, air-dried texture, is perfectly enhanced by the complex and full-bodied Brunello di Montalcino.


7. Lardo di Colonnata & Morellino di Scansano  

The melt-in-your-mouth Lardo di Colonnata is complemented by the fruity, slightly spicy Morellino di Scansano red.
