Ferragosto Celebration with Barone Fini And I Trulli on August 15
August 15th marks the Ferragosto. It is an annual Italian holiday which began in celebration of the Italian harvest. People of all classes gathered together and raised a glass to the fruit of labor from that season. Today, this tradition still continues with parties and festivals and has made its way to New York City.
Barone Fini’s wine dates back to the late 15th century. Two noble families united and began producing wine and 15 generation family members later, Giovanni Bonmartini-Fini oversees the winery’s production of their two predominant varietals: Pinot Grigio and Merlot. Each of the wines come from the highest quality of grape and our certified by the government.
This August 15, Barone Fini wines will partner with I Trulli Enoteca e Restorante to bring a taste of Ferragosto to the US. Walking in, you feel transported to any local spot in Italy as your greeted by matriarch Dora Mazovilla making fresh pasta. Proud of its Italian roots, I Trulli has over 450 Italian labels of wine personally selected by its owner.
The Ferragosto menu will include four courses and run for $58, plus $10 for each glass of Barone Fini wine. For every glass that’s poured, 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Food Bank for New York City.
