A cena con i Vignaioli

29 May A cena con i Vignaioli

This year marks the fourth year of the prestigious event, “A Cena con i Vignaioli” (“Dinner with the Winegrowers”) during which, the Winegrowers of Radda will preview the ‘53017 – Vino dei Vignaioli di Radda’ 2021 vintage.

Saturday June 14th from 7:30 pm Piazza Ferrucci in Radda in Chianti (Siena) will host the gala dinner prepared and served by Osteria Le Logge di Siena.

The avant-garde of Tuscan food and wine.
Osteria le Logge was born from a shared passion for food and wine that inextricably united Gianni Brunelli and his life partner Laura. In 1977, the two decided to pour all of their energy into opening a restaurant a stone’s throw from Piazza del Campo in the historic center of Siena.
Gianni always said: “Eating is important, eating well is essential”.
These words embody the philosophy of the Osteria. Gianni and Laura unearth the most genuine and pure values from the past ​​but they are aware of the changing world as tastes evolve and cooking transforms into an emotional journey. Today Osteria Le Logge cleverly blends gourmet dining with traditional recipes. At the helm of the restaurant is a professional and dynamic staff, starting with the Restaurant Manager Mirco Vigni, the Maître d’ Agostino La Sorte and the Executive Chef Nico Atrigna. Laura has adjusted to balancing life and work commitments and she remains a constant presence.

For the event “Dinner with the Winegrowers”, Osteria Le Logge will present two menus:
