The inaugural night dedicated to Sardinian artisan winemakers will showcase the Lepori Winery. Renowned in a short span, Francesco Lepori, a young agronomist, has made a mark on the Italian wine scene.
His vermentino "Colli di Limbara 'Zilvara'" earned acclaim as a 'wine to discover' at Golosaria 2021, winning the title of Sardinia's best and securing a place among the revered wines in the Vino da bere 2024 guide. Grown in sandy soil of Aeolian origin, right by the sea, this wine captures the essence of the Mediterranean maquis, reflecting the vibrant hues of the island's sun and light.
Apart from vermentino, Lepori has committed to reviving an almost extinct native grape variety: caricagiola, translating to 'load a lot' or 'bear many bunches'. This vine, still growing wild, thrives amidst the sea dunes, just 200 meters from the shoreline, and is exposed to the mistral winds. These conditions contribute to the distinctive savory notes found in the red wine that shares its name.
To complement these two wines, we've crafted a menu brimming with surprises and subtle flavours.
