ALLEGRO
Our 2017 Merlot Reserve is smooth and velvety, with a medium-bodied profile. Deep ruby, noble tannins, ripe plum and cherry with soft herbal notes.
From our Organic Biodynamic Vineyard in the Hunter Valley - Riverpines.
Its soft and fruity character marries well with our duck and truffle tortelli here at Pasta Emilia.
Who would you share a bottle of Allegro with?
Send this to someone who’d appreciate a glass.

Updates from the vineyard.
Harvest is just around the corner.
The whites are almost ready, the reds will follow in a
couple of weeks.
Biodynamic preparations are working with the season, the soil and the sky, helping the vines to grow stronger and ripen fruit.
Meanwhile, Rod has been busy in the garden, the bees have returned to the vineyards, with a shared attention to using everything well, wasting nothing.
This is where our table begins.

What people say
Italian restaurants are known for their delicious pasta dishes and authentic flavors. And when it comes to Pasta Emilia, they take it to a whole new level. This certified-organic Italian restaurant in Sydney is not just about serving great food, but also educating people about the art of pasta making.
Their pasta is simply amazing and has been recognized twice by The Sydney Morning Herald as having the best pasta in Sydney. You can even buy their organic pasta and sauces from their shop to cook at home. But if you want the full experience, you have to visit their restaurant (when self-isolation is over) and taste their mouth-watering dishes.
What sets Pasta Emilia apart from other Italian restaurants is their commitment to using organic ingredients sourced directly from some of the country's best farmers and producers. Their pasta goddess, Anna, uses signature ingredients from her home Emilia, the gastronomic capital of Italy, to bring you an authentic taste that will transport you straight to Italy.
If you're interested in learning how to make pasta like a pro, Pasta Emilia offers cooking classes (once we're allowed to gather in groups again) where you can learn from the experts themselves.
Overall, Pasta Emilia is a must-visit Italian restaurant in Sydney for anyone who loves good food and wants to experience authentic Italian flavors.
