Malvasia, Teran and sparkling bottles chosen to work with seafood, prosciutto and handmade pasta.

Prosciutto and cheese

Simple boards for starting the meal with salt, texture and local dairy character.

Olive oil and herbs

Peppery olive oil, rosemary, parsley and basil carry the Mediterranean flavor through the plate.

Fresh seafood

Grilled fish, shellfish and brodet-style dishes keep the menu connected to the Adriatic coast.

Pairings are written as approachable guest guidance, useful for restaurant, tasting room and hospitality pages that need local flavor without sounding like a catalogue.
