BETWEEN NARRATED APERITIFS AND THE GREAT “INCONTRI DIVINI” EVENT.
This year too, the Wine and Flavors Routes of Trentino are partners of the food and wine event that will liven up the city until October 20. In addition to the doubling of the Aperitivi Narrati events, the big new feature for 2024 is the traveling event that brings together the representative wines of the area thanks to the union of forces with the Consorzio Vini del Trentino – Consorzio di Tutela, in a journey in six stages, enriched by the performances of the theater company Koinè, between Palazzo Trauttmannsdorf and Castello del Buonconsiglio.
As part of “ Autumnus – The Fruits of the Earth City of Trento ”, the event organized by the ProLoco Centro Storico di Trento to celebrate the food and wine excellence of the area, the Wine and Flavors Roads of Trentino are offering a series of events in collaboration with the Consorzio del Vini del Trentino – Consorzio di Tutela and the Istituto Tutela Grappa del Trentino , in addition to the involvement of historic producers and new faces of the Trentino Winemakers.
After the success of the 2023 edition, which was always sold out, the Narrated Aperitifs are back: in-depth experiences on Trentino products, with tastings led by expert Sommeliers , accompanied by the direct stories of the producers . This year the format doubles, with six events in the splendid setting of Sala Marangonerie at Castello del Buonconsiglio . From Monday 14 to Saturday 19 October , every day the spotlight will be on one of the representative wines of Trentino paired with other local excellences, as well as on grappas thanks to the collaboration with the Istituto Tutela Grappa del Trentino.
It starts on Monday with Müller Thurgau from Val di Cembra paired with dairy products from Valsugana; on Tuesday, “Nobiltà di Sapori” is scheduled, with Teroldego Rotaliano paired with Puzzone di Moena. On Wednesday, there will be a meeting between Alpine char, Nosiola from Valle dei Laghi and Colline Avisiane, while on Thursday it will be dedicated to Marzemino and Trentino cured meats. All from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm. On Friday, from 8:30 pm to 10:00 pm, there will be “An unusual autumnal mélange” with a meeting between Trentino grappas and aged cheeses from the Dolomites. The Saturday event is instead from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm with a focus on Trento DOC and Trentino trout.
Saturday evening, from 5.00 pm to 10.30 pm , will be dedicated to “ Incontri Divini ”, an evocative event combining food and wine and theatre that brings together the testimonial wines and Trentino grappa in a journey through the halls of Palazzo Trauttmannsdorf and the spaces of Castello del Buonconsiglio , from the garden to the Sala delle Marangonerie, then moving on to the refectory and cellars, concluding in the exclusive apartment of Prince Bishop Giovanni Hinderbach.
The audience will be entertained by the actors of the Koinè theatre company who, through six interpreted scenes, also using multimedia content, will pay homage to the glasses to be tasted at each stage. After each performance, the audience, divided into small groups and with staggered departures, will move on to the tasting combined with a food proposal curated by students and teachers of the ENAIP of Primiero, for a journey through refined flavours. The Trentodoc will be proposed in combination with Trentingrana barley soup and Val di Non Golden apple caviar, the Nosiola will meet an elaboration of Trentino trout, the Müller Thurgau will be tasted with a sphere of potatoes, cabbage, caramelized onion and Val di Gresta cauliflower with its eggs. Moving on to red wines, the Tartare di Carne Salada will pair well with Marzemino, while the Teroldego Rotaliano will be proposed with a panna cota with Puzzone di Moena DOP and crispy leeks. Sweet finale with grappa and a revisited version of chocolate salami with candied fruit.
