A TUSCAN TABLE
WITH ANGELA FRONTI OF
ISTINE
CHIANTI CLASSICO
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2026
AN EVENING AROUND THE TUSCAN TABLE
A Family-Style Bistecca Fiorentina Steak Dinner
FOUR COURSES | FIVE WINES
Prepared by Chef Kody Aswegan
Join us at Hart & Cru for an intimate evening with Angela Fronti of ISTINE, one of the most compelling producers working in Chianti Classico today.
Rooted in the historic village of Radda in Chianti, the Fronti family's history in agriculture dates to 1959. Today, Angela leads the estate's winemaking, with a focus on Sangiovese, organic viticulture, and the distinct personalities of her family's vineyards across Radda and Gaiole.
Her work represents an important movement within Chianti Classico toward greater vineyard expression, careful farming, and a deeper understanding of site.
For this special evening, Chef Kody Aswegan will prepare a traditional four-course, family-style Bistecca Fiorentina steak dinner, served around the table in the spirit of Tuscany.
Five wines from ISTINE will accompany the meal, beginning with the estate's Toscana Rosato and progressing through Chianti Classico, Riserva, and a side-by-side comparison of two Gran Selezione wines. Guests will have the opportunity to explore the individual vineyard sites, farming, and winemaking philosophy behind the wines with Angela herself.
