Join us for an Exclusive Barolo Wine Dinner to Launch our 30th Birthday Celebrations
Begin the new year on a culinary high with a seat at our exclusive Barolo Wine Dinner taking place on Tuesday, January 29th. Hosted by Mr. Enzo Brezza from Azienda Agricola Brezza Giacomo & Figli, this special evening is the first in a series of events taking place throughout the year to celebrate 30 wonderful years of Ristorante Rinuccini.
Enzo Brezza from Azienda Agricola Brezza Giacomo & Figli will expertly pair a selection of wines from his award-winning vineyard with dishes from an eight-course menu of typical Piedmontese dishes created by Rinuccini’s Executive Chef, Antonio Cavaliere. Situated in the Piedmontese village of Barolo, the estate’s wine portfolio is dominated by its DOCG-classified Barolo wines and in 2018 the family vineyard celebrated organic certification for its methods.
Diners will explore the best of the region as they sail through the eight-course menu and paired wines with dishes including seared carpaccio of fillet of Kilkenny Rosé Veal with marinated fresh tuna and aioli served with Chardonnay Langhe DOC, Chef Antonio’s hand cut organic fresh pasta with wild boar ragu served with Dolcetto D’Alba DOC, a refreshing sorbet of fresh figs marinated in Grappa di Barolo and a plate of Italian cheeses with Barolo Classico DOCG to name just some of the dishes on this stand out menu.
From Nebbiolo d’Alba DOC to Barbera d’Alba Superiore DOC, Enzo Brezza will guide guests through the best wines from his vineyard and the reasons behind each thoughtful pairing with dishes from our kitchen.
This exclusive Barolo Wine Dinner will take place on Tuesday 29th January at 7pm and is priced at €80 per person – booking is essential and spaces are limited. For more information or to book call us on 056-7761575 or email us at info@rinuccini.com.

Our Wine Story
When we opened Rinuccini almost thirty years ago we made the decision to hand pick our wines, by visiting vineyard throughout Italy and selecting only the best quality Italian wines. We import them directly ensuring that we can offer excellent value to our customers. We’ve built lasting relationships with winerys across Italy which allows us to constantly evolve our wine offering to meet the expectations of our customers.
Over the years we have added to our list and we now have a 133 bin wine list. We have over 12,000 bottles stored in our specially built cellar located under our upper dining room and visible to diners through glass portals in the floor.
Italian wine is always the best pairing with any food. To help you find the best option for all occasions, we offer a personalised wine service to our customers. Our House Recommended Wines offer exceptional value and many are available by the glass. Our Fine Italian Wines are broken down by region. Stand out wines include our Greco di Sannio D.O.C. and our Chianti Colli Senesi Riserva D.O.C.G. For a very special occasion, our Super Tuscan list is made up of exceptional wines from the region of Tuscany.
When you dine with us, allow us to recommend the perfect wine to accompany your meal or choose your favourite bottle from our custom built wine cellar.
