We are coming off a highly successful Vinitaly where elegance triumphed. At the heart of this exciting edition, the connection to the territory was expressed through an unprecedented and clever pairing, which, during the days of the event, saw the encounter between Caviar and Valdobbiadene Docg Millesimato dry Coste di Mezzodì.
The challenge was embraced by chef Paolo Speranzon of Locanda San Martino (Pieve d’Alpago – Belluno) along with our winemaker and CEO, Loris Dall’Acqua. For the occasion, Speranzon created an amuse-bouche composed of Red Turnip Tartare with sour cream and White Sturgeon Deluxe caviar (from the white sturgeon) from the Treviso-based company Caviar Giaveri. The simplicity of this preparation soon gives way to a wide range of taste sensations: the earthy sweetness of the turnip is balanced by the saltiness of the caviar and the acidity of the cream. The balsamic note of horseradish and dill completes the dish.
“A play of contrasts and assonances was studied – explains Loris Dall’Acqua – a dish capable of expressing an interesting range of notes from sweetness, to spicy, to pungent, to salty, which blends perfectly with the aromatic softness of Valdobbiadene Docg Millesimato dry Coste di Mezzodì.”
The unmistakable superiore bubbles of Col Vetoraz faced the usual appointment in Verona with undeniable success. In particular, this year for the first time, the three new references were present at the fair: Valdobbiadene DOCG Brut Coste di Levante, Valdobbiadene DOCG Extra Dry Coste di Ponente, Valdobbiadene DOCG Millesimato Dry Coste di Mezzodì. A careful selection of 100% Glera grapes carried out by the company, coming from the “coste”, that is, from more or less steep hillside soils, exposed to the east, west, and south, and which, precisely because of their particular pedoclimatic situation, are perfectly suited to the production of Brut, Extra Dry, and Dry sparkling wines of great harmony.
Excellence in the forefront, therefore, always in the name of that mix of balance, harmony, and elegance that are the distinctive features of the pleasantness of these sparkling wines, always guaranteeing a maximum level of quality.
