RISTORANTE GARDENIA – VISIT AND DINNER TO THE VINEYARD OF BELVEDERE WINES AND CHEFS AT THE OPERA

GARDENIA RESTAURANT IN CALUSO

THURSDAY 9 SEPTEMBER 2021
“VISIT AND DINNER TO THE VINEYARD OF BELVEDERE
WINES AND CHEFS AT THE OPERA “

Experiential dinner on the arias of Puccini and Giacosa with Mariangela Susigan, among the rows of the wonderful Vigna del Belvedere, a historic vineyard, the result of the last glacial pulsation that occurred about 10-12,000 years ago. For many centuries the hill has been used for the cultivation of vines: it is a soil very poor in organic matter, but very rich in minerals eroded by the glaciers and the Alpine peaks found in the nearby Valle d’Aosta. Today the vineyard is owned by Domenico Tappero Merlo and is entirely cultivated with Erbaluce di Caluso, a native vine of the area, with totally natural methods. The position of the Vigna del Belvedere allows a suggestive and exciting panorama: from here the view embraces, in fact, the whole morainic amphitheater.
Didactic walk through the vineyards of Domenico Tappero Merlo with the collection of spontaneous herbs together with the ethnobotanist Lucia Papponi and followed by a starred dinner with the creations of the chef Mariangela Susigan among the rows of Erbaluce, under the stars.
