Italian night in Bangkok

Theo Mio, Italian restaurant at InterContinetal Bangkok, will be hosting the promising wine dinner to celebrate Tenute Silvio Nardi winery’s most celebrated wines on October 22.

To mark the Tenute Silvio Nardi’s most renowned wines, the gastronomic evening will see the guests feast on a sumptuous five-course dinner specially created by Chef Chris Beverley, and paired with carefully selected vintages straight from the brand's 36 Italian vineyards. To complete the experience, guests will get the opportunity to chat with the owner of the winery, Emilia Nardi, to learn more about the vintages. 

"It's going to be an amazing evening," says Chef Chris. "The Tenute Silvio Nardi label reflects the purity of the region in Italy, and the dishes have been chosen to create a harmonious series of tastes, textures and flavors."

To be held at InterContinental Bangkok's Theo Mio, the wine dinner (Bt1,800++/per person) will start with a delicious chicken liver crostini with mushroom arancini and ribollita, coupled with Tuscan vegetable soup. This will be complemented by the evening's first vintage, the Prosecco Bottega DOC, an intense, dry sparkling wine. 

A Tuscan Salumi platter follows, paired with a Turan Sant' Antimo Rosso 2013, a well balanced clean, complex and spicy vintage, enriched by mature red fruit. Up next, especially for pasta fans is the quail tortellini with rosemary brown butter, made all the more delicious with a glass of glorious fresh Rosso di Montalcino 2013. Continuing with the more satisfying dishes is the succulent ox cheek, braised in Tuscan red wine with soft polenta, carrot and salsa verde. Accompanying this is one of Italy's best known and most expensive wines, and the first winner of the Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita award, the Brunello di Montalcino 2010.

The meal ends on a sweet, light note with a sumptuous panacotta with Marsala-roasted guava, served with a selection of the luxurious Bottega Liqueurs – a great ending to this evening of distinction.

Theo Mio restaurant is located on the ground level of InterContinental Bangkok. This Italian restaurant opened in August by Theo Randall - English-born professional chef who specialises in Italian cuisine. 

The vineyards of Tenute Silvio Nardi extend east and west of Montalcino in a primarily hilly area in Tuscany, Italy. 

Both – Theo Mio and Tenute Silvio Nardi - are perfectedly matched for a promising night in Bangkok.
