An Unforgettable Evening: Campania in a Calice - La Masseria di Sessa Wine Tasting Experience

 

Last night was a breathtaking celebration of Campania's rich viticulture at our monthly wine tasting series, Campania in a Calice. Partnering with Tramonto Wine Bar and KUMA 65, we explore a new grape variety or winery each month, inviting an enthusiastic bilingual community to savor and learn about the wines from our beloved region.

This month, we had the pleasure of welcoming Alfredo Russo from La Masseria di Sessa, who guided us through a delightful journey with four exceptional wines. Each wine was thoughtfully paired with appetizers handpicked by the talented Antonio De Vita:

• Garbo Bianco 2023: A crisp and refreshing wine, paired with a vibrant salad of cuttlefish, artichoke, and mint that danced on the palate.
• Crono Falerno del Massico Bianco 2021: This elegant white was beautifully complemented by creamy cod adorned with bell pepper sauce and powdered olives.
• Garbo Rosso 2021: A robust red wine, served with a savory mini pork burger, topped with eggplant and provola cheese, making for a perfect pairing.
• Qaestio Falerno del Massico Rosso 2019: Aged to perfection, this red was paired with Italiko cheese, matured for 24 months in tobacco leaves and marsala wine, offering a rich and complex taste.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all who joined us for this enchanting evening. Your presence and passion for wine make these events truly special.
