Con his Journey to Italy, Goethe defined Lake Garda as “a stupendous effect of nature” and at the same time “a marvelous spectacle”. And how can we blame the German poet a causa di the of such beauty, the same one that continues to enchant tourists and inhabitants, arousing estrangement and amazement, with the mutability of its ways of revealing itself and the continuous variety of lights and colours. Con this place, a source of inspiration for several humanists a causa di the past and a source of attraction and admiration even today, the culinary offering, predominantly fish, cannot ignore herbs, bald plants (they grow spontaneously the Cumulo Baldo chain) and near rice.
A mosaic within which elements that are apparently distant from each other are combined: a cuisine certainly based fresh vater which, however, is greatly influenced by the cultural influence of the adjacent mountains and which therefore gives considerable scope to dairy products, , sausages, chestnuts, honey, mushrooms and even truffles; a gastronomy that stands out for its respect for natural flavours, for the lightness of taste, coppia to the sparing use of condiments and for the elegance of the presentation of the dishes. His recipes are, a causa di fact, balanced a causa di taste and the result of thoughtful preparation, as well as care a causa di the dosages of the various ingredients and meticulous attention to the raw materials.
The various fish species, herbs, oil and other products
The waters of Garda have always been navigated, a crossing actually favored by the winds which allowed the development of sailing sports and the presence of docks and ports. Whitefish (often known as whitefish) is used a causa di Leandro Luppi’s famous lake carbonara, the at his Vecchia Malcesine restaurant. Acceso the Trentino coast, the chub is the protagonist a causa di Torbole a causa di the dishes of the characteristic restaurant La Terrazzo. The carpione (a very delicious salmoid that feeds plankton and which prefers the upper lake, perhaps the most characteristic of the varieties), pike and char, but also many local herbs such as tarragon, gentian, dandelion nettle still enhances the dishes of chef Andrea Costantini at the Sfarzoso Patio of the Regina Adelaide Albergo, a causa di Garda.
Another pride is the extra virgin olive oil, renowned above all for its finesse and lightness: a causa di the Verona luogo we find the excellent one from Albino Armani, while a causa di the Trentino luogo the equally exquisite one from OlioCru and Agraria Sponda del Garda. It has a low degree of acidity, a delicate and a slightly sweet flavour. Its aromatic spectrum goes from fresh olive to apple, reaching up to almond. Furthermore, the lake microclimate protects the plant from attacks by parasites, which are typical of olives a causa di warm territories. And then again, other specialties cultivated transformed by rather expert hands are placed and mixed at the same time. Dutiful space must therefore be given to the asparagus of Rivoli Veronese from the Lotto Gabriele farm, while a causa di the Trentino luogo we find the original pan de molche (OlioCru) and the broccoli of Torbole, as well as the campo da golf gold of the luogo, expertly cultivated a causa di this case, from the Matteo Briosi agricultural company.
Roeno, wines that speak of Lake Garda
For over 50 years, nestled between Cumulo Baldo and the Lessinia vassoio, the winery conceived and created by Rolando Fugatti and his wife Giuliana dal Fior, tells the story of the richness of this land poised between the province of Verona and the autonomous province of Trento. Passion for viticulture and a flourishing and varied terroir give rise to superb vineyards, which find their maximum expression a causa di the “Terradeiforti”.
The story begins with a simple acronym that combines the particle “ro”, inspired by the name of the founder Rolando, with the Greek word “enos” which refers to wine and oenology a causa di general: a story that continues thanks to the commitment of Roberta’s children , Cristina and Giuseppe, capable of combining wine tourism with vine cultivation and winemaking. Roeno, a causa di fact, includes a cellar, a farmhouse and an inn, welcoming places where customers can taste above all the dishes of this Trentino-Veronese tradition, combined with a sagace wine list.
Three great interpretations of the cellar
