SUMMARY:VINE\, SEA\, SMOKE - a Sicilian wine dinner by Spiga & Dhall & Nash
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a memorable evening at Spiga with menu inspired by Sicily’s volcanic soul — where sea and smoke meet in perfect harmony. \nEach dish is paired with the uncompromising purity of Frank Cornelissen\, a visionary of Mount Etna whose wines express nature in its rawest form. \nTasting Line-up:\n\nFrank Cornelissen Susucaru Rosato 2022\nWith: Sarde “Beccafico” Sardines\, raisins\, orange zest & aromatic bread \nFrank Cornelissen Munjebel Bianco 2020\nWith: Swordfish “Sando”\, Sicilian pesto & aubergine \nFrank Cornelissen Munjebel Rosso 2021 and\nFrank Cornelissen Munjebel “MC” Monte Colla Rosso 2019\nWith Paccheri “Pastificio Mancini”\, tuna tartare & seafood sauce \nFrank Cornelissen ‘Magma’ 2020\nWith Lamb loin\, black pudding\, red currants\, panelle & jus \nLimoncello\nWith Almond treats & candied oranges\n\n\nFrank Cornelissen\nFew winemakers have redefined a landscape like Frank Cornelissen has on Mount Etna. Once a Belgian wine trader\, he saw in Sicily’s brooding volcano not danger\, but possibility — a place where vines could speak for themselves\, free from dogma or interference. \nCornelissen’s vineyards cling to Etna’s black\, mineral-rich slopes\, where bush-trained alberello vines yield meagre yet intensely expressive fruit. Each bunch is meticulously trimmed by hand\, the sacrifice of quantity for clarity. His approach rejects every orthodoxy — no chemicals\, no biodynamics\, no oak — just nature left to its own rhythm. \nFermentation and ageing unfold in inert epoxy-lined vessels\, chosen to eliminate even the whisper of external flavour. The result is wine stripped bare of artifice\, charged with volcanic tension and uncompromising precision. In a world obsessed with intervention\, Cornelissen offers something radical: purity\, unfiltered. \nIf you’d like to learn more\, we’ve blogged extensively about this humble icon before\, which you can read here: \n\nMay 2024: New Vintage\, New Hotness\nOct 2023: New Year\, New Frank\nMay 2023: Red Hot ‘n’ Smokin’\nMay 2020: Too HOT to Handle\n\n  \nSpiga\nSPIGA; Italian [Feminine Noun]\nEar of wheat\, Botanical.\nThe part of the cereal which contains the seed. \n“Small restaurant that delivers big feelings. Tucked in Remuera’s fantastic 1050 precinct\, Spiga is a hidden trattoria that delivers Italian authenticity with handcrafted flair. Nestled down a quiet laneway in Remuera\, this intimate space offers house-made pasta\, Roman-style pizza\, and seasonal antipasti using regional ingredients. \nThe design is rustic-chic\, with exposed brick\, timber accents\, and a softly glowing open kitchen. A concise Italian wine list complements the menu\, while the relaxed service and multi-course sharing approach feel like home without the nosy aunt. Spiga is where casual elegance and honest cooking intersect beautifully.” \n\nDenizen Dining Guide
