Alessandro and Elizabeth Lunardi will host a dinner for 6 guests at their loft on West 36th Street and prepare a 5 course tasting menu designed on the rare wines from the “Luce della Vite” estate in Montalcino, Tuscany.

The wine selection will include 4 older vintages of Luce, the flagship wine of the estate, which are  impossible to find in the market. The evening will start with a Champagne reception and finish with a surprise dessert wine. Each wine will be presented and explained to the guests and served in the appropriate glassware. The menu will be truly “Tuscan” and personally prepaired by Alessandro with seasonal ingredients that will best complement the wines.

Luce della Vite is a small, exceptional estate located in the South West slopes of Montalcino, in Tuscany, producing some of the greatest red wines of Italy. The estate’s vineyards are planted on volcanic soil which gives the vines an ideal environment for quality, character, and enticing elegance. The wines are aristocratic, assertive, but at the same luscious and surprisingly sexy.

Alessandro Lunardi is the North and South America manager for the Luce della Vite estate.
