Wine tells a story. At Palazzo San Luca, we brought that story to life with an exclusive Wine Masterclass in our Signature Apartment, highlighting a special connection between Alsatian wines and Venetian cuisine.
Domaine Gresser: A Family Legacy in Alsace
Our featured winery was Domaine Gresser, a family estate with a rich history dating back to the 16th century. Located in Andlau, in the heart of Alsace, France, they are renowned for their dedication to organic and biodynamic viticulture. Rémy Gresser, the passionate owner, led the tasting, sharing his family’s legacy and the meticulous approach that goes into each bottle.
Pellegrini: Bringing Gresser to Italy
Facilitating connection is Pellegrini, the exclusive distributor of Domaine Gresser wines in Italy. Their deep knowledge of the Italian wine market made them the perfect partner for this event.
A Match Made in Venice
We believe that great wine enhances the culinary experience. As an island city, Venice has a rich tradition of seafood-based cuisine. The bright acidity and delicate minerality of Domaine Gresser’s Rieslings make them a fantastic pairing for the fresh flavors of Venetian dishes. This masterclass was a unique opportunity to explore this delicious synergy, and we were thrilled to welcome representatives from some of Venice’s most esteemed restaurants like: Local, Vini da Gigio, Corte Sconta, Osteria Ai Assassini
Guests enjoyed a selection of the Gresser wines, including their crisp and refreshing Riesling, with its notes of citrus and minerality, and the elegant Pinot Blanc, known for its smooth texture and subtle fruit flavors. Each sip was a testament to the unique terroir and the winemaker’s dedication.
At Palazzo San Luca, we curate exclusive experiences that blend luxury with warm hospitality. Stay tuned for more unforgettable events!
