Trieste Maremorje e Vitovska together with the Chef Roberto Okabe, call us at Finger's Garden di Milano, Wednesday 6 May, for lunch, a tasting, una preview, a sensory journey. Or more romantically, for us to enter into the bowels of a portion of our land that may know little.
What could be nicer than to walk barefoot on the grass in the summer? You hear the, see, l’umiltà, the truth of the farmers who work their land, getting his hands dirty and his face, but with a satisfied smile? But even more, do not tell me that there softens the face of a farmer with reddish cheeks after drinking a thimbleful of wine at lunch more.
Now stir the picture you have before your eyes with the Vitovska, the indigenous white grape variety most famous Karst, Chef Roberto Okabe and its culinary style Giappo-Carsiane, location dressed as a Zen garden, 40 Guests between press officers, wine producers, photo, the Chairman of the FIPE Trieste, the Director of the Association of Winemakers Karst, and the city of Milan. Put it all together and definitely will come out of an extract of “Affordable luxury”.
Hints, flavors, years, land, crops, passion, These are the ingredients that well seasoned Trieste Maremorje Vitovska. All served by a white knight popularly elegant that stops in front of his guests and tells her story.
A story of working the land, uniqueness of cultivation and production, and singularity. Yes, because among the 5 wines tasted (Vitovska byte – Vitovska Grgic – Vitovska Skerk – Vitovska Škerlj – Vitovska Zidarich), each with its own techniques Vine, Winemaking, aging, there is not one the same as another. There is no approval, each manufacturer is free to produce as he wants.
The tasting of these 5 products of excellence, accompanied by cold cuts and cheeses of the area, has opened the way for a convivial lunch expertly curated by Chef Roberto Okabe composed of excellent dishes of appetizers and Japanese “sardoni” (anchovy in the Adriatic, typical dish of the Karst).
Which wine I enjoyed most? Vitovska Škerlj. Because it is exactly as “Mom did”. A wine 2011 macerated for two weeks without temperature control and left 24 months in wooden barrels. Here nature has run its course. A Word: agrumato dolce. An element: the wind. My story: the wind makes love with streaks of wood and then lies asleep on the floor.
Bell’evento. Very well organized, nothing out of place. Michela Rossi's & Bianchi, interesting guide, guided us in this convivial venue and in this world of border simply delicious. And to think that it's just a preview of an event that will be held on 6 and 7 June in Trieste.
“Everyone is just the heart of the earth / pierced by a ray of sunshine: / and it is now evening” – we are in 1930 and Salvatore Quasimodo wrote a work of art, his poetry “It is now evening”. They say he wrote it in a moment of pure shock. “Love for the beautiful and Trieste Maremorje Vitovska” – we are in 2014 Erika and Fabiano writes his story. They say that she has had the same moment of electrocution.
