LUCE DELLA VITE and IMPASTO : An Italian Match
1 June 2018
One of the most emblematic wines of Tuscany is joining the party at the best Italian table in Montreal!
Everyone knows that Italian wines are often at their best when served with food. This is especially true when the cuisine is prepared by one of the best Italian restaurants in Montreal. The pairing of Luce della Vite, a symbolic wine from Tuscany, with Impasto’s cuisine promises to be one of the great tasting moments of Montréal Passion Vin 2018.
Born in 1995 from the union of two great winemaking families, Marchesi de’Frescobaldi from Florence and Robert Mondavi from Napa Valley, Luce della Vite quickly became a world-class wine. It is also the very first wine produced in Montalcino that combines the structure and elegance of Sangiovese with the roundness and suppleness of… Merlot! This caused quite an uproar when it was first created in Montalcino, a region where only Sangiovese was authorized. The result is a smooth and robust wine whose charms are almost impossible to resist!
On the other hand, Impasto Restaurant is considered by many food critics to offer some of the best Italian fare in Montréal. A top destination thanks to Stefano Faita, a Montreal-Italian entrepreneur who has published several successful cookbooks, and Michele Forgione, a great chef who trained as a pastry chef and has worked at the finest establishments in the city. Everything is homemade with the freshest ingredients. Inspired and delicious, the cuisine is enjoyed by the most refined palates in the world.
In short, this is a tasting you don’t want to miss!
