MARTIN Cooper's food, a red that goes for £100 a cork-pop ..what's not to like about Delifonseca Dockside's up and coming evening with one of Italy’s finest wineries, Tenuta Argentiera?
It was an opportunity too good to miss, say the people at the award winning DD, when offered the chance to host Jeanette Servidio, export manager of the winery famous for its Argentiera DOC Bolgheri Superior.
Guests will have an opportunity to hear first-hand from one of Italy’s finest vineyards whilst enjoying their wines with paired food courses devised by long term wine lover and head chef Martin Cooper.
Delifonseca boss Candice Fonseca said: “It’s quite a coup for us to welcome Jeanette of Tenuta Argentiera to Delifonseca Dockside. They are a small but highly regarded small producer and one their flagship wine is often listed on restaurant menus at around £100 per bottle!
"To have a wine-maker of this calibre available to talk with us and our customers is a real privilege and when it was offered to us we felt it was an opportunity not to be missed."
The Tenuta Argentiera wineryShe added: “The winery itself is located in the small but highly regarded DOC Bolgheri area of Italy, and due to its impressive skills in wine-making, it consistently produces products that continue to score highly with the world’s most esteemed critics including James Sucklnig, Flastaff and Robert Parker. It is wonderful that we can host events of such pedigree from around the globe to Liverpool.”
To start, the restaurant will be serving up fillet of brill with white bean and parsley salad and citrus dressed cucumber - paired with Poggio ai Ginepri IGT Toscana Bianco 2014. This will be followed by a main course of slow braised ox cheek with sautéed venison, button bushrooms, creamy mash and kale - accompanied by Villa Donoratico DOC Bolgheri 2012.
To finish, diners will enjoy a platter of artisan cheeses, complemented impeccably by the winery’s signature offering - Argentiera DOC Bolgheri Superiore 2011.
The Tenuta Argentiera wine evening will take place at Delifonseca Dockside on Wednesday, October 14 at 7:30pm and is priced at £49 per person. Booking is essential and a non-refundable £10 deposit is required.
