In the heart of the Campi Flegrei, a stone's throw from the magnificent remains of the city of Cuma, the first Greek city in Italy, on Monday, the 26th of November, Pamela Lenzi, co-owner of Fattoria di Petroio hosted a Wine tasting at the home of Doctor Nannini. 
The 9 guests were a group of American women living in Naples and the wives of the American military forces abroad.
 
The lunch menu was created by Diana Lenzi to enhance the four Fattoria di Petroio wines presented.
As well as a general introduction to Fattoria di Petroio and the family who own and manage it, each wine was presented and explained to the guest as each of the various courses were served.
 
The Wines and Menu were as follows:
 
Poco Rosso 2017   served nicely chilled as an aperitive with toasted salted almonds, prunes wrapped in bacon and grilled, green olives, and taralli.
 
Poggio al Mandorlo 2016   was accompanied by three crostini:  Tuscan home made chicken liver pate, fettunta with freshly pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2018 harvest, and soft oven warmed bread with sage & olive oil cannellini beans
 
Chianti Classico 2015  nicely pared with the main dish, Gnocchi di Semolina alla Romana & home made meat sauce.
 
Chianti Classico Riserva 2014 complimented the rich wheatless Dark Chocolate Hazelnut cake and vanilla ice cream.
 
Gran Selezione Poggio ai Grilli 2015 was introduced with a reading of the story behind the wine as told be Diana Lenzi.  It was not part of the wines tasted but presented with the possibility to order it as well as any of the other wines and the new olive oil presented.

This is the second lunch/tasting that Giulia Nannini has graciously organized with her friends in Naples to help the wines from Fattoria di Petroio to become better-known and available for purchase within the American community living in Naples.
 
The women were all invited to come to visit Petroio in the future.

    From the time that I took over managing the Family Wine Estate, I have literally and physically moved to Petroio in order to follow carefully and passionately, first hand, hands on,  all the multiple phases of the business. I grew up in Rome and in 2008 had literally no idea what was in store for me.
    I learned to know the plants that provide us with our Chianti Classico.  Obviously I had no clue how to execute a pumping over or how to make a blend, but I learned that as well. I have immersed myself in every phase of the business, both productively and commercially, learning from my mistakes and from the experience and know-how of those around me.
    Thus I’ll tell my story, my “Days at Petroio” in this blog; every day different, every day stimulating. I’ll share the beauty of these places that are my daily home in the photos.
    I’ll tell about life in the country, the many encounters that the world of wine allows one to make and enjoy, my activity as the regional (Tuscan) delegate in the group of Women in Wine and my fast growing interest and work with the young people in ANGA (National Association of Young Agriculturists).
