Bubbles at Sunset and Flavors That Delight
The evening begins at 8:30 PM with a stylish aperitivo: selected sparkling wines and signature finger food to welcome guests with taste and elegance. Then, the culinary journey begins.
From the cheesemaker and charcuterie corners, offering fresh and aged cheeses, local cured meats, and truffled quail eggs, to the traditional Pugliese corner with hot panzerotti, focaccia, reimagined parmigiana, fava beans and chicory, barattieri, and seasonal vegetables.
The Sea Takes Center Stage
Seafood is the true star of the evening, cooked live in front of guests: flambéed prawns, smoked tuna bites, lime-marinated octopus, salmon with butter curls and crostini, and the must-have cuoppo di mare, symbol of tradition and joy.
The two main courses blend technique and flavor: semolina cobs with white dentex fish in a creamy sauce with crispy arugula, followed by a fillet of sea bass with citrus sauce and Indian black salt, accompanied by a vegetable flan.
A Sweet Ending to a Summer Journey
The evening ends with the queen of summer desserts: Delizia al limone – fresh, elegant, and perfectly paired with a selection of wines including Erbaceo Colli della Murgia, Susumaniello Rosé Varvaglione, and Franciacorta Berlucchi.
