If you love wine, then you should look out for the next wine and food pairing event happening at Sankara Hotel.
Sensing
the growing wine appreciation trend in Nairobi, Sankara has partnered
with many wine estates in the past to bring Nairobians a great mix of
different wines from around the world.
These include the famed Dalla Cia, Meerlust Estate and Planeta Wines.
We were recently treated to a fantastic tasting session of sparkling wines from Italian producer Ferrari Wineries.
This
family-run company which has been in b uysiness for over a century is
known to craft their luxury metodo classico; sparkling wines produced
according to the regulations of Trento D.O.C, similar to the technique
used by the finest Champagne houses; only this time with an Italian
touch and craftsmanship.

Executive
Chef Gaetano Sgroi presented an exquisite four-course menu with the
help of wine importer Emanuel Corino from Out of Sicily. The Ferrari
Brut, for example, paired deliciously with the Crayfish Salad with Green
Apples and Celery drizzled with Ferrari Brut Dressing.
The
Tortelli filled with tomato and ricotta, yellow fondue, basil pesto and
herb salad was paired with the Ferrari Rose, a dry, clean and refined
wine with hints of almond and red currants bouquet.
The
Grilled Salmon, Carrot and Spring Pea Puree with Fresh Herb Olive Oil
were by far the winner of them all. Paired with the Ferrari Maximum
Brut, gentle fruity bouquet complemented the natural sweetness of salmon
and colourful vegetable purees. Its dry nature cut through the
oiliness of the fish flawlessly.
The trio of desserts,
“Dolcezza” del demi-sec, featured berry macaroons with sparkling wine
filling, indulgent dark chocolate and a refreshing fresh raspberry
tartlet. Paired with the Ferrari Demi Sec, our meal aptly came to a
conclusion.
