The theme of this dinner is discovery. We welcome to Arden, Fabio Longino of Indigenous Selections and Brand Ambassador for Contratto. With this dinner, we are delving deep into the Indigenous Selections portfolio to showcase wines from lesser-known regions of Italy. The fresh acidity and layered complexity of these wines are the perfect match for a special ‘Local Comfort Food’ rendition of our Ohana Menu. We are serving 5 potentially unfamiliar wines alongside 5 courses of familiar local favorites prepared with the understated elegance that Arden is known for. 5 Course Ohana Menu (served Family Style) 5 Wines + Contratto Digestivo Dinner + Pairing: $120 exclusive of tax and gratuity ($80 + $40pp) Ciao Raggazi… Delving into the world of Italian wines seems daunting. France has 11 main wine regions, Italy has 20. There are 2,000 different varieties of grapes cultivated in Italy. The breadth of Italian wines can be overwhelming and might feel impossible to navigate. I find it liberating. As opposed to French wines where Monastic hierarchies of vineyards and regions have been entrenched for centuries, Italian wine is an endless mosaic of idiosyncratic oddities–some of which are specific to just a singular hillside or town. French wine scholars are like name-dropping socialites; knowing the ‘right’ stuff can get you a long way. An Italian wine scholar is like a dog with two tails. Whenever you reach a level of understanding, along comes another, and even more particular, style or grape that turns everything that you thought you knew on its head. Oh, you like Chinati? Montecucco and Morellino di Scansano are juicier and a lot cheaper. If you think Lambrusco is cool, wait until you try Gutturnio. Don’t get me started about Schioppettino… Drinking Italian wine is a journey of discovery, and cousin, there is so much to discover. It’s a practice with no endgame.
