Sustainability, wine and good food. These are the words that have convinced me to accept the invitation to the evening dedicated to Nebbiolo Novara hills that took place on 15 May 'MO.OM Hotel’ Olgiate Olona, in the province of Varese.
Starring the Nebbiolo Wine Company Lorenzo Zanetta and good food of Chef George Perin. All in an eco-hotel, a structure that is inspired by traveling and living green eco-friendly.
We are coming to Expo 2015, an event of strategic importance that will lead our country in the center of the world. Il rispetto dell’ambiente per uno sviluppo sostenibile è uno degli argomenti cardine dell’Esposizione Universale che si svolgerà a Milano dal 1’ Maggio al 31 October 2015.
The MO.OM was designed following this line of thought. Thanks to the material of which it is composed and tri-generation plant (hot, cooling and electricity), the impact on the environment has been reduced to a minimum. Not only hotels, but also art gallery thanks to two hundred and fifty works created by students of the Art School "Candiani" Busto Arsizio.
The wine star of the evening was the Nebbiolo of the Novara Hills'Winery Lorenzo Zanetta. A native grape variety used to produce the Barolo and the Barbaresco, two towns that recall the great wines of the Langhe in the province of Cuneo. His name seems to have originated from the late harvest in the autumn mists which encircle. A cluster consists of a pyramid with a round grapes pruinose skin (Frosts, waxy substance that protects the berries from external agents).
A winery, founded by the founder Lorenzo Zanetta, boasting seventy years of history and experience in the great tradition of Piedmont. During the evening I had the pleasure of chatting with Sergio Zanetti, a producer who, quote his own words, crede ancora nel vino. Ascoltandolo non ho potuto fare a meno di leggergli un passaggio di Luigi Pulci, a poet of 1400 : “But above all, I have faith in the good wine, and I think it except those who believe. "
George Perin, Executive Chef dell’Hotel MO.OM conosce bene il territorio in cui lavora essendo nato a Verbania. A cook, with a long and proven track record, which is expressed in its preparations.
If you ask me what I liked most of the kitchen that evening, without hesitation I say to the Nebbiolo Rosé risotto with Taleggio nuts. Seeing is believing! 😉
