The program of food and wine events that Val d'Oca dedicates to culinary excellences of the territory proposes a new appointment, on 13th October, in the picturesque setting of the wine center Val d'Oca & Sapori, in S. Giovanni in Valdobbiadene.

The meeting entitled "L?antico coltivare e Val D'Oca," dedicated to forgotten fruits and vegetables, will allow to rediscover the uses of fruits of the past and to taste again their flavors, while promoting the recovery and the enhancement of biodiversity.

Antonio Cantele, botanist and expert in medicinal and aromatic plants, will guide guests in this world of flavors surrounded by glasses of the best Prosecco DOCG Val d'Oca.

The presentation and description of the ancient cultivars of fruit of the Veneto region and beyond, will be followed by a tasting of their far and often forgotten flavors, reinterpreted in a menu signed by Giuseppe Agostini, chef of Treviso and author of a cuisine of naturalist and genuine mark. An opportunity to taste season rarities today not very widespread, such as parsnips, an ancient vegetable already very popular in Roman times and in the Middle Ages, as well as old varieties of apples including ?pomi Madonna?, ?Valderonchi? and ?Prussiane? apples, and, moreover, other specialties of the Veneto region such as ?torbe? potatoes of Asiago, the early ?radicchio di Treviso? and the ?sponcio? corn of Belluno. The common thread among appetizers, first courses, second courses and desserts, are the refined bubbles of the best DOCG Val D'Oca sparkling wines, including Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Extra Dry Millesimato 2012, the brut Rive di San Pietro di Barbozza, the brut Punto Rosa Millesimato 2012 and the dry Uvaggio Storico.
