Twilight Sparkle

A Sunset-to-Stars Dining Experience

As golden twilight fades into a starlit sky, indulge in an evening that begins with aperitivo in our estate gardens and unfolds through a guided tour of our historic cellars—where time rests in vaulted silence. Your journey culminates on our panoramic terrace, suspended between rolling hills and ancient vineyards. Here, La Cucina del Santellone presents an elegant yet relaxed dinner, celebrating Lombardy’s terroir with creative harmony. Each course is paired with Franciacorta Antica Fratta wines (Cuvée Réal s.a., Essence Nature 2020, Essence Noir 2019), elevating every nuance. Live music mingles with laughter, soft lights caress crystal glassware—every detail crafts an unforgettable experience.
