Innovative Italian Wines, Exquisite Cuisine Livio Felluga Wine Dinner at Rossini’s

The renowned monthly wine dinners at Rossini’s, award-winning restaurant of Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit, a Luxury Collection hotel, are always a highlight of the city’s culinary calendar. A divine selection of dishes prepared specially for the evening by Chef Gaetano Palumbo is paired with an equally special range of fine wines.


In February, Gaetano’s exquisite culinary creations will be complimented by a range of engaging wines from Livio Felluga.

Winery founder, Livio Felluga is a fifth generation winemaker credited with innovation, and mastering modern winemaking in Italy. He is known for creating exceptionally lush, crisp and well-balanced wines that are recognized as the finest in their categories. Livio Felluga has been called one of the seven stars in the last 100 years of Italian winemaking. The wines include single variety whites that bring out the character of their grape with style, as well as the elegant Terre Alte, a skilful blend of Tocai Friulano, Pinot Bianco and Sauvignon, and Illivio, obtained from a special selection of Pinot Bianco grapes.

Today, the Livio Felluga estate extends over more than 160 hectares of hill country in the Collio and Colli Orientali del Friuli, with 135 hectares planted as vine. The vineyards yield great wines with instantly recognisable fragrances and aromas.

A memorable evening’s dining at Rossini’s starts with Chef Gaetano’s savory bites and stuzzichini, and sparkling Prosecco.

The first dish of the evening, capesante in crosta di polenta con indivia all’arancia, polenta, Milanese style scallops with endive and orange will be served with Sha’rjs Chardonnay- Ribolla Gialla 2008 IGT, a lively wine with an excellent balance of acidity and notes of citrus and spices.

The subtle flavours of crema di asparagi al tartufo nero, green asparagus cream soup with black truffle will be paired with Sauvignon, Colli Orientali del Friuli 2008 DOC, a crisp and complex wine with hints of yellow pepper and Mediterranean herbs.

The perfect accompaniment for Chef Gaetano’s agnello con carciofi brasati e salsa di topinanbour, succulent roasted lamb loin with artichoke and topinanbour sauce is the Vertigo, Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 IGT, a full-bodied, soft and well-structured wine matured in small oak barrels to produce aromas of cherries and a spicy aftertaste.

Other dishes of note at this exceptional fine dining experience include filetto di manzo wagyu con mostarda di zucca, grilled Wagyu beef filet with pumpkin mustard served with the outstanding Sosso’, Melot-Refoscolo dal Peduncolo Posso-Pignolo 1997 DOC, and a heavenly dessert of morbido di cioccolato fondente con gelato banana e salsa di arachidi, chocolate mousse with banana ice cream and peanut sauce.
