There are only a few days left until the Milano Food&Wine Festival. After the great success of the first two editions, the event dedicated to great wine and signature cuisine protagonists returns from Saturday 8th to Monday 10th February 2014. It will give the chance to freely taste 400 wines brought by 100 (Italian and international) wine producers, selected by Helmuth Köcher, president and founder of the Merano WineFestival. For over 20 years, professionals and enthusiasts have considered the latter event as a point of reference in the wine world, an important chance to meet the producers in person.
In Milan, instead, it will be possible to match the available wines with the high cuisine dishes prepared by 24 chefs, pastry and pizza chefs, invited by
Paolo Marchi, creator of
Identità Golose, the almost concurring congress on signature cuisine (9-11th February), which this year reaches its
tenth edition. Both at lunchtime and dinnertime, during the three days of the Festival, the chefs will in turn present the “Great dishes of Italian cuisine” which the audience will be able to buy and comfortably enjoy in the restaurant created on the occasion.
On Sunday February 9th, from 1 to 3 pm, people will satisfy their appetite with "Grande cucina, piccoli piatti" (Great cuisine, small dishes), a space in which to enjoy the tasty delicacies proposed at the same time by the chefs of 6 different restaurants, from
Cesare Battisti of
Ratanà to
Giovanni Traversone and
Marco Tronconi of
Trattoria del Nuovo Macello, from
Daniel Canzian of
Daniel to the
Damini brothers of
Damini e Affini, from
Riccardo Orfino of
Ladybù to
Andrea Provenzani of I
l Liberty. On top of them, every day it will be possible to satiate the lunchtime appetite with the delicious cured meats prepared by
Massimo and
Luciano Spigaroli (
Antica Corte Pallavicina in Polesine Parmense, Parma), while the afternoon craving for desserts will be happily satisfied by the irresistible buffet prepared by the
Cerea brothers (
Da Vittorio in Brusaporto, Bergamo). And this is only the tip of the tasty iceberg that involves many other protagonists of the Milanese signature cuisine. In order to start to taste the delicacies available with your mind, find more about the protagonists and their dishes here.
