Delmoncio
Since the beginning, wine and gastronomy have shared an inseparable bond, elevating the pleasures of the table and moments of togetherness. At Ambrosia, our mission is to uphold these traditions by showcasing the stories that have shaped the world of dining and the art of living.
It is in this spirit that we created Delmonico, a Bordeaux wine designed to honor the legacy of a legendary establishment: Delmonico, the iconic restaurant that revolutionized American gastronomy.
The story begins in 1827 in New York when the Delmonico brothers, two Swiss immigrants, opened a modest shop specializing in artisanal pastries, fine coffee, chocolate, liqueurs, and cigars. With their keen attention to detail and passion for excellence, they transformed this business into the first *à la carte* restaurant in the United States, laying the foundation for American haute cuisine.
Delmonico quickly became a benchmark for distinguished personalities and lovers of fine cuisine. It embodied a new art of living, where the elegance of the setting, the richness of flavors, and an exceptional wine cellar featuring the world’s finest wines came together. Among the many creations of its chef, the famous Delmonico steak remains to this day a symbol of culinary refinement.
Fascinated by this legacy, Ambrosia sought to extend this tradition of excellence by crafting a Bordeaux wine worthy of its heritage. Delmonico is a cuvée designed to accompany the finest cuts of meat, in the purest tradition of great dining establishments. Combining character, finesse, and elegance, it pays tribute to these pioneers of gastronomy and carries forward their vision—an art of dining where quality and craftsmanship are at the heart of every experience.
Wine Character
Delmonico is an elegant Bordeaux Supérieur with a deep, intense color, revealing an expressive nose of black fruits, tobacco, and spices. On the palate, it captivates with its rich aromas, smooth, well-integrated tannins, and a fresh, subtly spiced finish—perfect for pairing with grilled meats and aged cheeses.
