7 dishes and 7 wines for 7 dinners

Restyling for the Osteria at Fattoria del Colle that proposes a weekly calendar of dishes made to measure for Brunello, Chianti, Orcia  e Supertuscan

The Chef Roberta Archetti who for the past few years has collaborated with Donatella Cinelli Colombini, has dedicated months to studying some recipes able to emphasize the wines Casato Prime Donne and Fattoria del Colle.
Roberta started form the culinary traditions and the prime ingredients, in majority of local produce, such as the Cinta Senese medieval pork breed or the Chianina meat, the Pecorino cheese or the Lentils from Castelluccio for the nearby Umbria, to all of which she has added a sprinkling of creativity. The result is a fantastic weekly programme of 7 dishes for 7 dinners matched with Brunello, Chianti Superiore, Orcia and Supertuscan  wines which allow for a different and intrigueing tasting.

Reversed roles as usually the food is chosen first, whereas in the case the best wines including Brunello, the Brunello “Prime donne” 2010 and the Riserva 2008  where they have been an inspiration for the creation of recipes to be matched with them

The idea is of proposing a different dinner for our guests together with a different wine in a silver frame exhibited in place of honour in the dining room. It will be  Florjan Canaj, our young maitre who will tell guests the virtues and small anecdotes about the dishes and the wine, including the ratings that at present are rewarding our wonderful Brunello 2010.

This programme is perfectly in line with Fattoria del Colle immersed in the green Tuscan countryside, a few metres form the vineyard and from the vegetable patch where we grow the vegetables served at the table.

There are two dining areas, the veranda, which opens out onto a patio, ideal for summer dinners and then there is the art nouveau dining room decorated with floral frescoes and embellished with a fireplace that in the winter adds a touch of incimacy. Recent renovation have increased the comfort and give the area a more distinctive character, with a real farmers cart  to be used for blankets win the cool summer evenings

The 7 dishes with 7 wines get inserted in a weekly program of activities for guests staying in the rooms, apartments and villas at Fattoria del Colle. Cookery lessons, guided tours, tastings, walks in the woods with a bow and arrow trail, brief excursions in the neighbouring areas, all give life to stays in the country inn together with, the swimming pools, the trekking trails, the wellness area where wine is the new protagonist thanks to vinotherapy, an, couples’ massages.
