Recently, the known Parma gastronomies La Rocca, Baccanelli and Km90 in Fidenza belonged to Silvano Romani , - since 1965 the reference point for all the gourmet searching specialties from our land – hosted fascinating Monte delle Vigne wine tastings. Managed by Gabriele Olivieri, with a degree in Gastronomic Sciences and “throbbing heart” of Monte delle Vigne hospitality, these events represented a unique opportunity for wine lovers to discover the wine excellences from Parma Hills.
La Rocca – the first shop opened by Silvano Romani in the ‘60s -, Baccanelli – in Via La Spezia, on the road to Collecchio – and Km90 – shop with food service in Fidenza – are considered reference points for whom who search quality products. Romani, known for its accurate selection of wine and local food, created warm and refined spaces where wine lovers can discover news labels and deepen their knowledge.
During the tastings, the clients of the shops had the opportunity to taste a selection of the most important Monte delle Vigne wines. Each wine has been paired to little gastronomic specialties, which exalted the characteristics. Olivieri followed and guided the clients into a trip between aromas and flavours, inviting them to discover all the fruity notes, the spices and mineral hints that mark our wines.
All the events saw a very good participation, with wine lovers of all ages who wanted to expand their knowledges. The atmosphere was intense, with exchanges of opinions and questions which made the tastings interactive and captivating. Gabriele Olivieri created an informal and stimulating atmosphere, making each client active part of the experience.
Moreover, the autumn was full of other events organized by Monte delle Vigne, as the tastings in Barilla Center and in Traversetolo into the Unes shops. The link between producer, sellers and final clients is stronger and stronger, contributing to the valorisation of the wine culture into our land.
We look forward to participating to new events and we thank all the people who gave – and will gave! – trust in creating moments of sharing around our wine glasses.
