L’Enoteca by Clarissa at il Mercato Centrale Melbourne
Celebrating the grand launch of il Mercato Centrale Melbourne's latest artisanal offering, l’Enoteca by Clarissa Lorenzato! Top Italian wines and magnificent food. This launch event was one of my favourite experiences of the year. Satiation overdrive.
What a superb night for serious wine lovers. A curated wine bar and cellar celebrating the wines of Italy’s regions. If you’re like me, Italian wines are simply sensational and a pleasure to savor. And enjoyed best with fabulous Italian food!
We were treated to a superb masterclass by Clarissa featuring top Italian wines that you can enjoy in this attractive space or even take home. Wines such as delicious Stroppolatini Schioppettino - Friuli Colli Orientali DOC 2018.
We were also treated to some of the best bites of the year including Mini montanare with mortadella, stracciatella and pistacchio, as well as crocchette di patate and basil, plus mini panzerotti, and the tasty mini frittata di pasta.
For mains we indulged in 3 bowls of extraordinary pasta that were matched with the wines, plus an award winning panettone dessert.
It was amazing to meet Clarissa Lorenzato! Clarissa’s passion for wine began in her family’s vineyards in Italy’s Veneto region before taking her around the world, and finally to il Mercato Centrale Melbourne. 🇮🇹
L’Enoteca by Clarissa Lorenzato is now open on level one at il Mercato Centrale Melbourne.
You can stop by for a vino or two, or grab a bottle on the go!
To me it also shows the richness and class of il Mercato Centrale Melbourne that they offer so many quality casual dining experiences but can also step it up in terms of luxury experiences. There were no quaffer wines in sight.
Thank you to General Manager Gary Patikkis and the team at il Mercato Centrale Melbourne as well as PR legend Matthew Iozzi and @madco.agency.
