Aman Venice hosts Prunotto winery. Langhe comes to the lagoon.
Venice’s luxury hotel, on November 12, once again brings to the stage. Between Lagoon and Vineyard
It is a series of dinners about the meeting of territories, stories and flavors with the partnership of selected wine cellars.
So On Nov. 12, the Arva restaurant https://www.arvabyaman.com/it/locations/aman-venice will host an evening dedicated to Piedmont, and to star it will be paired with Prunotto wines, a historic Langhe winery belonging to the Marchesi Antinori group.
- Matteo Panfilio and Piedmont
“This evening has a special meaning for me,” says Matteo Panfilio, who together with Arva Head Sommelier Matteo Gottardo, constructed a special dinner.
“Through these dishes I bring with me Piedmont, my homeland, which raised me and still guides my every choice in the kitchen. It is a generous land, made of silences, hills, woods and courtyards, of hands dirty with the earth and seasons lived intensely. Autumn is the time when Piedmont shows its most authentic face: the scents change, the air becomes thicker, and nature gives unique products. Although today my work has taken me elsewhere, Piedmont has never left me. It lives in me, in gestures, in memories, in the ingredients I choose with care.
And observing the chosen course composed of dishes full of taste and elegant in their performance at the table, we imagine moments of absolute pleasure where the palate is pampered by the opulent and also simple courses. A succession of creativity and classicism at the stove. The accompanying wine will close the tastings and sometimes precede them in an atmosphere where the past resonates in the echoes of the imagination and memories of those who left their spirits in the cracks at Palazzo Papadopoli.
Chef and Sommelier have built a perfect balance between dishes and wines, where the freshness of the lagoon meets the depth and complexity of the Piedmont hills.
- The program and menu for the evening Between Lagoon and Vineyard
The journey begins at The Bar, with a welcome cocktail designed as a revised Mi-To tribute, made with the addition of one of Prunotto’s labels.
The menu opens with a Carpaccio of shrimp, fennel, lemon gel, and green apple,
accompanied by a Prunotto’sLanghe Arneis Arveja , a wine that encapsulates the elegance and minerality of its terroir.
A unique tasting moment followed, with a comparison of two vintages of Barolo Bussia-the 2021, presented in a national preview, andthe 2006-introducing risotto with porcini mushrooms, parsley pesto and Parmigiano mousse, served with Barolo Cerretta 2019.
The dinner continues with lamb loin, scorzonera and black truffle, paired with Barolo Riserva Vigna Colonnello 2016, and closes with a sweet homage to autumn, pumpkin and polenta pie with salted caramel and fiordilatte ice cream, accompanied by a Moscato d’Asti Docg 2024.
In this menu the territory, enters on tiptoe, between a sauce and a perfume, a background and a woody note, and with Prunotto’s wines I wanted to strengthen this connection.
With Tra Laguna e Vigna, Aman Venice wants to build a dialogue between its Venetian identity and the excellence of the Italian territory, bringing to Palazzo Papadopoli a review of dinners that combine research, memory and a sense of belonging.
