    What To Expect

    A unique journey through the flavors of Liguria.
    A professional sommelier will guide you through the tasting of five Riserva wines from Vinaccieri Ballerini, paired with outstanding local gastronomic specialties.

    We begin with NAVIGATO BIANCO, made from Vermentino grapes — dry, elegant, and authentically tied to Sestri Levante.

    Next is TRAM, an innovative blend of Vermentino and Traminer Aromatico, created in collaboration with Luca De Paoli — truly surprising!

    Then TERRANOVA, a deep red wine blending partially dried Granaccia grapes with Merlot, Syrah, and Sangiovese, crafted in a style reminiscent of Amarone but with a true Ligurian soul.

    Followed by KAVA, a Brut Sparkling Wine (Metodo Classico) made from Pinot Noir, aged 36 months on the lees and matured for 12 months in the copper mines of Masso — elegant, with notes of vanilla and fresh bread crust.

    The tasting concludes with ALEA, a Sicilian Malvasia inspired by our beloved Sciacchetrà.
