The experience culminates in the imaginative “Forest of Love” dessert, featuring rich chocolate and raspberry sorbet, alongside a refreshing Mignardise with rose and raspberry pâte de fruit. For a truly harmonious pairing, ORA by Ettore Botrini’s expert sommelier has selected the perfect wines to complement each course.
