DIESEL FARM AND TRATTORIA DEL LOCAL: TWO VISIONS OF KNOW-HOW AT THE HOMO FABER CENTER IN VENICE

The series of meetings between Diesel Farm and the Del Local trattoria in Venice continues, created for Homo Faber , the biennial international event dedicated to artisanal excellence that brings Venice to life until the end of the month. After the first day of tastings, held on September 16th, the calendar includes two more events, scheduled for Wednesday, September 23rd and Tuesday, September 29th .

The connection between Diesel Farm and Venice wasn't born by chance. It's rooted in the same values that have always guided the work of Renzo Rosso , the company's founder: courage in experimentation, attention to detail, and a deep connection to the local area. These principles were recently explored at the Venice International Film Festival through the presentation of a documentary film dedicated to his entrepreneurial and creative journey at the helm of Diesel. Diesel Farm was born as a natural extension of this approach: a project through which Renzo Rosso chose to invest in his homeland, the Vicenza area, recovering and enhancing its agricultural heritage through wine. This initiative generates value not only for the company, but also for the area and the community that lives there. This philosophy finds a natural opportunity to be told in Venice, a city that has made artisanal mastery one of its hallmarks.

This dialogue is hosted by Trattoria Del Local in Venice , born from the experience of Local, a restaurant that has built its identity on the same values: the relentless pursuit of quality ingredients, attention to every stage of production, and the rejection of shortcuts in favor of slow, conscious craftsmanship. Leading this vision, shared by both establishments, are Manuel Trevisan and Benedetta Fullin, along with their staff. Their cuisine seeks not spectacularity, but the precision of carefully repeated gestures, making it the ideal partner for a winery that shares the same ethos.

It is precisely this philosophy that Diesel Farm and Trattoria Del Local come together. For the Vicenza-based winery, craftsmanship takes shape through daily work that accompanies the wine from the vineyard to the bottle. The care of the plants, the constant observation of nature's rhythms, the selection of the grapes, and the choices made in the cellar are the result of skills, experience, and sensitivity developed over time. This same approach guides Del Local's work in the kitchen, where the pursuit of quality is achieved through respect for the ingredients and meticulous processing.

The tastings will feature two wines that showcase the distinct yet complementary essence of Diesel Farm's production. Rosso di Rosso , the winery's historic flagship wine and the first wine produced by the company, is born from a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, varieties that thrive in the hilly terrain of Marostica to express themselves in a unique and deeply territorial way. This elegant and structured wine offers a contemporary interpretation of the tradition of great Bordeaux blends.

Alongside it, the RRosé , made from Pinot Noir, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon, represents the freshest and most contemporary interpretation of the company's philosophy. A still rosé that combines immediacy and expressive precision. Two labels different in style but united by the same mission: to transform human labor and the identity of the territory into an authentic story to be shared in a glass.

A journey that, event after event, confirms how craftsmanship is today a language capable of crossing diverse disciplines, from fashion to film, from wine to cuisine, finding its natural stage in Venice, thanks to the Homo Faber Biennale. In this context, Diesel Farm interprets wine as a cultural as well as a productive project : a place where tradition is continually renewed through a contemporary perspective, faithful to the dynamic spirit that distinguishes Renzo Rosso's world.
