Wedding Receptions at Villa San Crispolto and Villa Baroncino

We are sure that one of the reasons you have thought of a wedding in Italy is our food and our wine. Therefore, if you are really lovers of excellent Italian "pasta and vino rosso" you can feel safe with us!






Our high level of professionalism and extensive experience acquired through years of organizing wedding ceremonies for foreigners in Italy means you are putting the task of organizing your wedding and reception in capable hands. Our vast knowledge and good relations with various organizations and authorities allow us to offer a rich variety of selected partners.

We offer a highly professional staff - chef, cooks, waiters - combined with a menu based on both Italian and international gourmet traditions, with plenty of variety resulting from their creative research.







Our catering services include some f Italy's most famous, and we can offer wedding receptions to meet modest budgets or stage the most lavish. Certain couples prefer a simple, intimate champagne luncheon for two while others request a twelve-course wedding banquet for 100.

The menus that we propose are an 8 course reception meal and can go from a rustic and simple reception to an extremely sophisticated meal. We realize that may seem excessive compared to what you are accustomed to at home, but it is traditional in Italy and in our experience we have found that our guests are delighted with this type of menu. In fact they keep writing us years after their wedding saying that they'd love to come back here for their anniversary and try again the menu that they had at their wedding. Therefore, a menu listing appetizers, first courses, main courses with side dishes and wedding cake is an eight- or nine-course meal. Your guests will be incredibly and wonderfully surprised by this.





As far as vegetarians are concerned, they will be served an alternative to every non-vegetarian dish served to the other guests. Therefore, vegetarians will also enjoy the same number of courses. While for the quite common allergies: as wheat allergy, celiac disease, allergic to dairy products, nuts allergy, our caterers will be ready to prepare the selection of the dishes required avoiding the ingredients that cause allergy itself. Therefore, allergic people also will enjoy the same number of courses. We always organize a meeting with the selected caterer a few days before the wedding and at that time we will tell the caterer how many vegetarians or persons with specific dietary requests there are in the group and which dishes you have chosen for them.

We also propose a reduced menu for children as well which can be very suitable for the small ones.





In case you have the chance to visit us prior to your own wedding, we'd be very pleased to arrange for you a tasting with the caterer you have chosen or even with more than 1 caterer so that you can have a good knowledge when making your final decision about the wedding menu. The tastings we arrange are like a regular meal in the restaurant of the caterer you've chosen and will include an 8 course meal so that you can have afterwards a very clear idea on the menu you'll have at your wedding. The menus that we propose also include the Wedding Cake as well and the traditional Italian wedding cake is "Mille foglie" which is a cake made from layers of light filo pastry, and it has a layer of chocolate cream and a layer of vanilla cream and seasonal fruit. The wedding cake has been greatly appreciated by all our past clients and we have been asked at years of distance from the wedding to give them the recipe of the cake; plus your wedding guests will be talking for years about how good the wedding cake was!!











Just in case, you prefer to have a more English Traditional Wedding Cake something very similar to what you can have back home we can also arrange for this as well as we are cooperating with a confectioner specialized in sugar paste that will be able to create for you the wedding cake that you have in mind by taking a look at the pictures you'll send her. This confectioner can also create very particular and special Birthday cakes on request and this can be very easy to organize in case you have also a Birthday party to celebrate during your week at the villa.







Menu printing, wine lists, and seating arrangements in the perfect setting of Villa San Crispolto and Villa Baroncino are just a few of the details involved in selecting a reception. Regardless of whether you decide on a simple champagne luncheon for two on the deck of the villa or in a frescoed chapel, or have your heart set on celebrating with a magnificent reception in the Great Garden, our staff will work with you on:

- Table arrangements and settings

The marquee for the reception

The marquee is an extremely elegant structure is brown on the outside and the ceiling inside is lined with exquisite cream-colored plissé fabric. It is equipped with beautiful white wrought-iron chandeliers that are fitted with speakers for background music during the dinner and at the party afterwards. The floor is made of antique terracotta and the structure has sliding glass walls. It can be opened completely during the summer, but closed quickly in case of bad weather and during the winter. Since it can be heated, it can be used year-round to add a touch of elegance to your reception. Using it for the wedding reception is extremely advantageous: such a reception would need a long preparation and very often our caterers prepare everything in advance, the night before for example – in this way, is possible adding the final touch on the morning of the wedding day, light the candles, arrange the menus on the table, the flower centerpieces etc Imagine how this could be done without having the possibility to close the marquee completely. Weather is something that we aren't in control off and the wind, the dust or a summer storm could ruin everything in an instant. In fact the possibility of closing everything after the preparation offers you the guarantee that everything will be perfect but having the chance to open the sliding doors completely allow you to enjoy your reception –allow you to have an outdoor dinner but the greatest advantage is that you feel completely protected.

Red

 

Sangiovese dell’Umbria  is the primary grape used in Northern Italy in the region of Tuscany to make Chianti and also for Brunello di Montalcino. Sangiovese produces wines that are spicy, with good acid levels, smooth texture and medium body. In the right climates and with controlled yields, Sangiovese can be made into very structured and full bodied wines. It is usually blended with other grapes for best results and in northern Italy is blended with Cabernet Sauvignon in the 'Super Tuscan' blends. Sangiovese is experiencing increased interest and plantings in California and elsewhere. Because of its ability to create smoother wines with acid levels that pair well with many foods, a great deal of experimentation is taking place with it as a blending agent with several red varieties.

Rosso di Montefalco (Umbria) Same as Sagrantino di Montefalco, but in this case the wine is younger.

Sagrantino di Montefalco( Umbria ) The center of Umbria is famous for his wines. This is the zone of Sagrantino, Rosso di Montefalco and the 'Strada dei Vini del Cantico'. The wine route passes through such wonderful towns as Todi, Bastia Umbra, Marsciano, Perugia , Torgiano itself, Bettona, Cannara, Spello and Assisi . The excursions to Montefalco can last either a full or half day. Montefalco is a tiny medieval town famed as the 'Umbrian railings' for its location with a dominant view of the Umbrian Valleys . The renowned production area produces Sagrantino di Montefalco, one of the 24 D.O.C.G. wines of the country. It is a dry and ruby-tinged wine made out of a red, the Rosso di Montefalco.

Chianti (Toscana) One of the Tuscan wines par excellence the fame of which has gone well beyond Italian borders. Produced using four varieties of grapes “mixed” in differing percentages, the most important being «Sangiovese» («red berry» wine, typical of central Italy) to which another «red berry» grape is added such as the «Cannaiolo» and two «white berry» ones, «Trebbiano» and «Malvasia».Chianti goes onto the market in two versions: normal and reserve, the former is a young and fruity wine, the second is more «important» to match with particularly substantial dishes such as «fiorentina», meat grills, Tuscan cured meats, seasoned cheeses.


Villa San Crispolto Vino Rosso di Montalcino
Same as Brunello di Montalcino but in this case the wine is younger.

Villa San Crispolto Vino Brunello di Montalcino The king of wines.The Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino was created in 1967 immediately after the issuance of the D.O.C. as a voluntary association of producers who were seeking to foster the steadily increasing prestige of their wine. The Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino has shown itself in the intervening years to be a scrupulous and responsible instrument of self-discipline. I has also served as a catalyst for new and old, large and small estates so that sensible customs, consolidated, became a common strategy for success in terms of quality. Visually Brunello Di Montalcino is a limpid and brilliant wine with a lively garnet color and with an intense, persistent, full and ethereal odor. In its odor can be detected the scents of brush lands, aromatics woods, small fruit, a light trace of vanilla and fruity jams , all combined. To the taste , the wine has an elegant and harmonic body with strength and breeding . It is dry, with a pronounced aromatic persistence. Because of its characteristics, Brunello di Montalcino can withstand lengthy ageing improving with time. It is difficult to say for how many years the wine will improve in bottle. That depends, in fact, upon the vintage. It ranges from a minimum of 10 years to 30, but it can be kept even longer. Naturally, it should be conserved in an appropriate way, in a cool cellar but, above all, in one where the temperature is constant, where it is dark and where there are no reverberations and odors. The bottles should also be laid down horizontally. It is bottled by the Ciacci Alvaro Fornacella Estate – Montalcino especially for Villa San Crispolto.

Aperitifs Wine

Prosecco If a wine has the color of topaz, an intoxicating bouquet, a mischievous sapidity and is already unforgettable after the first taste, one is most surely talking about the Prosecco of Conegliano-Valdobbiadene.The production zone extends through the band of hills of the Province of Treviso and encompasses the area between the towns of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. The zone encompasses a series of hill chains - running from east to west - which follow one after the other from the lowlands to the Pre-Alps, lying equidistant between the sheltering Dolomites to the north and the Adriatic, which has a positive effect on the climate and countryside. While Conegliano plays host to famous wine institutes, Valdobbiadene is surely the zone’s productive heart. Venice is only 50 kilometers away and is easily reached by either train or car in a little over half an hour.

Dessert Wine

Moscato D’asti Moscato d'Asti is a fragrant and fruity wine that is lightly sparkling. Made in the Piedmont region from grapes the French love to refer to as Muscat Blanc a Petits Grains, Moscato d'Asti has a low alcohol content relative to other wines; usually somewhere between 4 and 5.5 percent. It is the perfect thing to sip on a cool summer night after a heavy meal.

Bar Services

Bar is a must of the wedding day and it has to be cured in all its details: it is important for the types of drinks you have, for the expert bartenders that serve you and know how to prepare great cocktails and most significantly it is important because if organized very well can put all your guests into a great mood. Imagine what would be to have a bar where the bartends let you wait a lot of time to have your drink or serve you the wrong beverage etc. …I'm sure that you have experienced at least one pub where the bartender was rude or wedding where you did not like the bar!

Well, bar is one of our best qualities and we can provide you with several options that go from the Open Bar where guests can order their favorite drinks with no limitations and has a set price to organizing a Cash Bar still with professional bartenders that will work as a conventional bar where your guests will be paying for the drinks they order.
