Celebrated local winemaker Marsovin has organised a series of events to commemorate its 100th anniversary this year, and now, it’s time for the grand finale: a very special dinner at de Mondion restaurant in Mdina, to be held on 2nd and 3rd December.

For this special occasion, Marsovin has invited two Michelin-starred Chef Emanuele Scarello from Ristorante Agli Amici, who will prepare a six-course dinner in collaboration with the acclaimed Chef de Cuisine Kevin Bonello.

Ristorante Agli Amici, situated in Udine, was established by Chef Scarello’s family in 1887, and the chef and his restaurant were awarded their first Michelin star in the 2000, followed by the second in 2013.  It is boasts three hats on Le Guida de L’Espresso, and Emanuele Scarello was also referred to as the best Italian chef within Il Corriere della Sera in 2013 – that’s quite the status!

With Agli Amici being the only Relais & Chateaux in Friuli Venezia Giulia, it is only natural that The Xara Palace Relais & Chateaux lends itself perfectly to this event, a 5-star boutique hotel nestled within Mdina’s centuries old bastions, with de Mondion Restaurant within being the jewel in the crown. 

The Xara Palace Relais & Chateaux Director Justin Zammit Tabona notes, “Relais and Chateaux aim to provide unique gastronomic experiences, and we feel that this event will be made all the more memorable with the help of Emanuele Scarello as well the reputable quality wine of Marsovin.”

Meanwhile, Marsovin CEO Jeremy Cassar, who is the great-grandson of Marsovin’s original founder, says, “we want to end this year’s calendar of events with something exclusive, unlike any of the other events we have organised so far. We are absolutely confident that with Chef Emanuele Scarello teaming up with Chef Kevin Bonello and Xara Palace, those who attend this celebration dinner will enjoy a truly unique experience.”

The evening will begin in the Xara Palace Atrium where, upon arrival, guests will be greeted with Marsovin’s Cassar de Malte Methode Traditionelle sparkling wine, served from 1.5L Magnum bottles.  Following this, guests will be served six culinary creations exceptionally paired with Marsovin’s premium and boutique wines, including the limited edition 100^th Anniversary wine which, on this special occasion, will be served from a 5L bottle.

Booking is open and is on a first-come-first-served basis. The exclusive event is priced at €150 per person. To reserve your table, call The Xara Palace Relais & Chateaux on 21450560  or send an email to [email protected]
