Planeta and Alex Atala in Pollenzo

At 7:00 pm, in the tasting room of the Wine Bank: the evolution of Chardonnay.

Planeta is definitely among the companies that have helped most to raise the image of the Sicily of wine in the world. We find out, through a small but significant vertical tasting, how the style and the way it interprets one of the most popular international grape varieties has changed.

8.30 pm: Alex Atala – the chef who cooks Amazon

At first glance, Alex Atala looks like a rockstar: charming and trendy.

Then, put aside his aggressive look, he proves to be one of the most interesting minds in the contemporary cuisine world. Because Alex Atala, native of São Paulo, born in 1968, after having worked in some of the most prestigious kitchens in France, Belgium and Italy, returned to his native Brazil to achieve his personal gastronomic project, which culminated in 1999 with the creation of the D.O.M. Restaurant: a date that coincides with the beginning of a new era in Brazilian cuisine.

Alex Atala can be defined as the champion of the new Brazilian food, but especially as the promoter of the culinary heritage of Amazon.

For those wishing to try his cuisine, the Academic Tables have organized a dinner matched with wines from various Sicilian territories of the Planeta winery.
