  • Big Bottle Brunello Sunday Supper

    US$195.00 per person

    Prepaid

    Mar 2, 2025 only
    5:00 p.m.
    Chef Joey Campanaro welcomes Natalie Oliveros of La Fiorita for the next installment of our Sunday Supper Series! Hosted at the Chef's Room at Little Owl, please join us for an intimate and educational evening featuring Natalie's award winning Brunello and recipes inspired by Joey's travels throughout Tuscany. La Fiorita owner, Natalie Oliveros was born in Northern New York. Although American born and bred, her Calabrese “Nonna” gave an Italian heritage and education to the family, which exposed her, at an early age, to “basement winemaking” with her parents. She has always sought to perfect the longevity and aromatic complexity of her Brunello to illustrate the magical harmony between the diverse terroirs, climate and the Sangiovese grape- the Star of Montalcino.

                                                  So lovely! I only give it four stars because it’s a bit of a tight squeeze — tables are quite close. But I really loved the food and staff!
