Buona Sera! Welcome!
Castello Tudisco invites you to add you own tasting notes to those printed below. Along with our premium Puglian olive oils, tonight's wine expert, Morgan Rich, Italian Portfolio Manager of Southern Wine & Spirits of New York, will tantalize your palate with four delicious Puglian wines.
Buon Appetito!
1. ÉVooc Extra Virgin - Spreadable Olive Oil Cream from Castello Tudisco
Castello Tudisco - Spreadable Olive Oil Cream: Available in two different varieties and offering two different dining experiences, we are proud to introduce Évooc and Évooc Peperoncino.
Both olive spreads are crafted with the very Coratina olives which evoke the same wonderful flavors and dining experience of BéVoo and DéVoo. When you open the bottle of our spreadable olive cream, you will notice the same rich notes as other Castello Tudisco olive oils. When you spread it on your favorite dish, you will experience the true fun and versatility it brings to preparation and dining. Both varieties are great complements to any dish, snack, or appetizer. Enjoy!

Wine Pairing: Chardonnay, Tormaresca 2008 Marchese Antinori's Vineyard Property in Pugla
This is a fresh, vibrant un-oaked Chardonnay from Antinori's Tormarescan wine estate. It is has a round, creamy texture that will complement the rich texture of the olive oil cream but also has bright tropical fruit and lemon notes that will contrast to the flavor of the olive oil. This wine is made about an hour from Castello Tudisco.

Wine Pairing: Ratino, Tenuta Coppadoro 2008, San Severo, Puglia. Italy
Compared to the Tormaresca Chardonnay this is more mineral-driven and floral though it does have nice tropical notes as well. This will not overwhelm the delicate aspect of the BEVOO and will it's floral notes will accent the oil's green apple notes. The Ratino is made about two hours from Castello Tudisco.

Wine Pairing: Neprica, Tormaresca 2008, San Pietro Vernotico, Puglia, Italy
This is a light- to medium-bodied red from Antinori’s Puglian estate. It is a blend of Negroamaro, Primitivo and Cabernet Sauvignon; three varieties that can produce full-bodied wines, this is a simpler, fruitier version with spicy notes as well. It has a distinct spicy note of anise that will cut through the richer oil and clean the palate.
