The volcanoes of Italy have endowed history with countless legends, landscapes and ultimately, some of the most expressive wines in the world.

“The discerning characteristic of volcanic terroir and the wines it produces lies on the palate. A perceptible, laser like, linear texture that transcends grape variety and region. A palpable austerity and minerality that translates to smoky, ashy, dusty, chalky textures that no other soil is capable of producing.” – The Winebow Group

Guests will enjoy a spectacular five-course wine dinner featuring thoughtfully prepared, hearty dishes by Chef Dan Bazzinotti and guest speakers to explain the unique nuances of each volcanic wine.

Featured wines will include:
Massifitti, Suavia
Erse Etna Bianco, Tenuta di Fessina
Erse Etna Rosso, Tenuta di Fessina
Terra di Lavoro, Galardi
Aglianico del Vulture, Bisceglia

Terra Wine Dinner: Behind Natural & Biodynamic Wines
Mar 10 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Beverage Director Gregg Guertin takes you back in time to the way wine used to be.

During the next Terra Wine Dinner, Eataly’s Beverage Director Gregg Guertin takes us back in time to the way wine used to be—before the addition of pesticides, chemicals, and additives to today’s agriculture.  Each wine pairing during this multi-course dinner will be an expressive, unique, and raw example of grapes in their truest form so that you may taste distinctive characteristics of the grape varietals while appreciating terroir and the growers’ techniques. Along with natural wines, you’ll enjoy biodynamic wines—bottles which are made with a holistic view on agriculture and balance the resonance between vine, man, earth, and stars.

Just like the wine, the five courses prepared by Terra’s Executive Chef Dan Bazzinotti will also draw from primitive roots of cooking and ingredients while showcasing Terra’s wood-fired grill as the main attraction. These dishes will utilize meats from local farms using organic and sustainable methods; wild and sustainable Massachusetts seafood; and local, organic, and foraged fruits and vegetables showcased in their true form to create the perfect pairing with each wine.

During the dinner, you will have the opportunity to learn about the ingredients and stories behind our wines and food directly from our experts. Chef Dan will take you on a journey through all the dinner’s ingredients including the Frantoi Cutrera Primo organic olive oil from Sicily used in the preparation of local seafood; the Country Hen eggs that give our housemade pasta its bright, yellow color; the local, humane, non-GMO meat raised at Chickering Farm in Westmoreland, NH; and our fresh produce from local farms, foragers, and purveyors who strive to keep the quality intact.

Book your seat for another installment of a Terra Wine Dinner under the stars. Stay tuned for the full menu!

At this dinner, you will:

  • Indulge in five courses featuring local, organic, sustainable ingredients cooked over the Terra fire
  • Enjoy natural & biodymanic wine pairings with each course and learn about the distinctive characteristics of grape varietals
  • Meet and chat with Executive Chef Dan Bazzinotti and Beverage Director Gregg Guertin about the stories behind each ingredient and wine pairing
  • Experience the magical ambiance of Eataly’s rooftop restaurant, Terra

You will dive into flame-kissed flavors of the seasonal ingredients prepared over Terra’s famous wood-fire grill as you discover the stories and history behind the dishes and wine.
