Spectacular Ingredients:

This collaboration turns the spotlight to Piedmont, home to some of Italy’s most celebrated wines. Guests will explore Barolo and Barbaresco, poured alongside dishes prepared with two of the season’s most sought-after ingredients: black truffles from Burgundy and the white truffles of Alba.

Together, they shape an evening rooted in discovery, where rare wines and truffle-focused dishes are shared at the table in good company.
