As one of Italy’s most forward-thinking producers, the estate is renowned for its vegan-certified wines and elegant Chianti Classico.

The evening’s menu is crafted by Executive Chef Andrea Spagoni, whose Michelin-starred background spans London, New York, and Hong Kong. Chef Spagoni’s intuitive approach to modern Italian cuisine ensures every dish elevates the unique profile of the Querciabella selections.
