Executive Chef of the Tosca restaurant, Castello di Casole, A Belmond Hotel, Tuscany
Daniele Sera, executive chef of Tosca, the restaurant at Castello di Casole in Tuscany, offers contemporary “farm-to-table” cuisine deeply rooted in the region’s biodiversity and culinary traditions. Inspired by the estate’s vegetable garden, he celebrates authentic simplicity, seasonality, and a deep connection to the land, placing quality, sustainability, and traceability at the heart of his approach.
"Cooking from the garden means listening to the natural rhythm of things. My dishes are born from a constant dialogue with the land, in a creative process that evolves in harmony with nature."
His philosophy is a celebration of the environment around him, guided by an authentic "garden-to-plate" approach. Simplicity, freshness, and biodiversity are at the heart of his dishes, thanks to seasonal ingredients grown in the Orti del Castello vegetable garden.
Experience the purest expression of Pinot Noir with La Grande Dame 2018, a celebration of Madame Clicquot's unique vision, drive and audacity.
Its deep and precise style is characterized by subtle finesse and freshness, expressed through its salinity. Intense aromas emerge through a delicate scent of citrus - lemon, lime, yuzu - blended with white fruit, enhanced by spring and floral notes.
Tosca welcomes its guests in an elegant and warm setting, where stone walls, natural materials, and carefully chosen furniture create an authentic atmosphere. The menu invites diners to rediscover the flavors of Tuscany, thoughtfully and modernly reinterpreted, while preserving a strong connection to local traditions. Each dish is crafted from fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from local producers.
Inspired by Madame Clicquot’s audacious spirit, Garden Gastronomy, born in 2021, is an initiative that brings together a community of Michelin-starred chefs from around the world, creating bespoke food and champagne pairings specially imagined for La Grande Dame.
This approach invites a rediscovery of taste through a truly authentic culinary experience. The chefs’ creativity is expressed through the celebration of garden-grown ingredients—freshly harvested fruits and vegetables—echoing those cultivated in the Maison’s emblematic kitchen garden at the Manoir de Verzy.
