From Sparkle to Power
A Journey Through Italy’s Great Wine Regions
Italy’s wine story is one of diversity, tradition, and terroir—where each region expresses its own unique character through climate, landscape, and native grapes.
This curated selection takes you from the cool, sparkling vineyards of Treviso in Veneto, through the refined hills of Piedmont, into the historic heart of Tuscany, and finally to the rich, powerful wines of Valpolicella.
Together, these regions showcase the full spectrum of Italian winemaking—from fresh and vibrant to deep and complex—each crafted not just to be enjoyed on its own, but to come alive at the table.
Paired with the bold, familiar flavours of Singapore, this journey reveals how great wines transcend borders—elevating every dish, and telling a story in every glass.

Food & Wine Pairing Menu
The Pairing:
We begin with Ponte Prosecco White DOC NV paired with Salted Egg Yolk Fish Skin and Top Shell Salad à la New Ubin Seafood in a sesame-ponzu dressing. The lively bubbles, freshness and orchard-fruit notes help lift the richness of the salted egg and complement the savoury, nutty salad beautifully.
Giovanni Rosso Roero Arneis DOCG 2023 is served with Pan-Fried Halibut Bites with Hong Kong Sauce and Assam Chinchalok Sauce. Its floral, mineral and gently rounded profile gives enough freshness to balance the fish while also standing up to both sauces.
Riecine Chianti Classico DOCG 2023 is paired with Heritage Dry Laksa with Prawns. The wine’s bright acidity, red fruit and elegance offer a lively contrast to the aromatic richness of the laksa.
Tenuta Sant’Antonio Valpolicella Ripasso Monti Garbi 2021 accompanies Braised Pork with Greens, or Braised Chicken with Greens for pork-averse guests. Its supple texture and savoury spice make it a natural match for warm, comforting braised flavours.
Tenuta Sant’Antonio Amarone della Valpolicella Antonio Castagnedi 2020 is paired with Nasi Lemak featuring Beef Rendang, or Chicken Rendang for those who do not take beef, together with Sambal Kang Kong Joo Hee and Kunyit Spanish Sardines. This is the boldest pairing of the evening, with the Amarone’s richness and depth standing up beautifully to the intensity and warmth of the dish.
We end on a Truly Singaporean note with Kaya Toast & Chendol, served with local Kopi / Teh, for a nostalgic and satisfying finale.
