The 38th edition of the Müller Thurgau: Mountain Wine exhibition , organized in recent days by the Comitato Mostra Valle di Cembra thanks to the support of partners and institutions, has also been archived.
During the three days, there was a continuous influx of people into the rooms of the eighteenth-century Palazzo Maffei , where it was possible to taste 64 expressions of Müller Thurgau from Italy and abroad.
The collateral initiatives were much appreciated , all sold out . About a hundred participants in the wine-comedy show “La Divin Commedia” by Lucio Gardin , who told the world of wine with his unmistakable ironic streak on the opening night.
Fifty registrations for the Heroes trek along the Cammino delle Terre Sospese between the town of Lona and the pyramids of Segonzano, with a stop in Sevignano, to taste the goat cheeses of Blindhof and the Schiava of Cantina Beghel, and in Parlo, with Cantina Micheli and the speck dell'Imperatore of Macelleria Paolazzi. And then a final lunch at the Chiosco Le Piramidi with potato tortel accompanied by cured meats, capussi and cheeses.
The tasting of the award-winning wines on Saturday afternoon was also sold out, conducted by AIS sommelier Michele Girelli , who proposed a journey through the six Gold Medals and six Silver Medals of the 22nd International Müller Thurgau Wine Competition, divided into three tasting sessions: the nuances of Müller Thurgau from 4 splendid different European territories, the two souls of the 2023 and 2024 vintages compared, the longevity of Müller Thurgau, from the 2024 vintage to the 2017.
Over fifty people were also attracted by the Thai showcooking proposed for “Around the world in 80 Müllers” with chef Oui who cooked three recipes from his homeland for an ideal journey from North to South of Thailand: from Laab Goong to Sate Moo to Keaw Waan. Paired, of course, with three different Müller Thurgau.
One hundred and thirty people signed up for the dinner on the avenue , where the menu from the Zanotelli Butcher's Shop and Food and Beverage Shop – enriched by the asado cooked directly by an Argentine on the classic steel poles and with the typical costume – was accompanied by sports dance performances by the Ritmomisto school that enchanted the audience. On the dance floor, the world champions of Latin American dances under 16 Timothy Nardelli and Eva Veronese. With them, Patrick Heger and Ioana Aurelia Brunello for the standard dances class A. In addition to the guests at the dinner, a truly numerous audience stopped on the avenue to admire them. The support of the wineries during the pouring phase was invaluable: from Cembra mountain winery to Zanotelli, from Cembrani Doc to Azienda Agricola Giorgio and Federico Paolazzi, from Cantina Micheli to the new Tenute Novei of the Serafini family.
And then over 200 cocktails prepared by Leonardo Veronesi and Michael Poletti , made in collaboration with the Istituto Tutela Grappa del Trentino on Saturday evening, with the unmistakable sound of DJ Ale Soul in the background.
Also popular was the experience of Sunday Cantine in sella , which led to the discovery of the territory from Cembra to Segonzano and back, interspersed with three stops: Azienda Agricola Federico e Giorgio Paolazzi in Faver, Barone in Prato a Piazzo and Pelz in Cembra.
“ We are really happy with the results achieved, both in terms of participation and appreciation from the public – explained Sara Pedri, President of the Mostra Valle di Cembra Committee – . For each event we had to close the reservations ahead of time in order to ensure the best experience for those who experienced it. Many people complimented us on the variety of initiatives proposed and the level of organization put in place. But our greatest pride – she continued – is that this year too the event has contributed to making our splendid valley known and appreciated both inside and outside the provincial borders ”.
