A palate cleansing, fresh sorbet will be served as the third course, followed by Ossobucco, a veal shank, slowly braised with vegetable, herbs and red wine. This course will include a taste of the “King of Italian Red Wines,” Batasiolo Barolo. Lastly, guests will enjoy a Hazelnut Torte, straight from the renowned Bittersweet Bakers, complemented by a glass of Batasiolo Moscato.
