Ferraro’s Ristorante will host an exceptional evening celebrating the wines of Vallepicciola Toscana on Saturday, March 7, 2026, at 6 p.m. This exclusive dinner, limited to just 40 guests, will feature a curated tasting of Vallepicciola’s distinguished wines presented by visionary winemaker Alessandro Cellai, who will serve as guest of honor for the evening.
Renowned for producing elegant, terroir-driven wines in the heart of Chianti Classico, Vallepicciola has quickly established itself as one of Tuscany’s most exciting estates. With a focus on Sangiovese and meticulously crafted single-varietal expressions, the winery reflects both tradition and modern precision under Cellai’s leadership.
Guests will begin with Perlinetto Rosé, a 100-percent Pinot Nero sparkling wine offering a blend of bright freshness and delicate red fruit notes. Chianti Classico Riserva, crafted from 100 percent Sangiovese, provides structure and refined acidity, while Vallepicciola Rosso Grand Cru, also 100-percent Sangiovese, offers depth and complexity. The evening concludes with Quercegrosse, a 100-percent Merlot characterized by both richness and a polished intensity.
“This dinner provides a rare opportunity to experience Vallepicciola alongside the winemaker who brings these wines to life,” said Mimmo Ferraro, executive chef, Ferraro’s. “Hosting Alessandro Cellai for such an intimate evening reflects our close relationship with the estate and our commitment to offering guests truly special experiences.”
