March 31st Dinner Features Cesare Wines with Guest Shinya Tasaki

Sommelier Shinya Tasaki

ARMANI / RISTORANTE, with its luxurious ambiance curated by Giorgio Armani, dishes overseen by Enrico Derflinger (former White House Executive Chef), and an extensive collection of Italian wines, creates a harmonious experience that guides the senses to a moment of bliss. Two special dinners are planned, inviting renowned winemakers to offer a profound taste of Italian culinary culture.

The dinner on Saturday, March 31st, will showcase wines from Cesare, renowned for its premium Amarone red wines, paired with regional cuisine from Italy's Veneto region. Mario Menozzi of Cesare, celebrated for its Amarone production, will visit Japan to share his passion for winemaking and discuss the wines to be served. Additionally, world-renowned sommelier Shinya Tasaki will be a special guest, offering insights into the perfect pairings of Veneto regional dishes and wines.

The dinner on Wednesday, April 18th, will feature wines from Ceretto, a winery with over 80 years of exceptional winemaking across three generations, recognized as a leading Italian winery beyond just the Piedmont region. These wines will be presented alongside dishes favored by Giorgio Armani himself. For this occasion, two special vintages of Barolo from 1999—one from Pràpo and another from Brunate—will be exclusively offered. Federico Ceretto of Ceretto, also known for its Barolo and Barbaresco production, will share his passion for winemaking, crafting a truly special evening.

Each dinner is limited to 50 guests, so early reservations are recommended.

The world of wine offers ever-deepening enjoyment through knowledge and taste. We invite you to spend a special evening with exceptional wines and the exquisite cuisine of ARMANI / RISTORANTE Ginza.
