They intended to promote an ample concept of cultural food and wine diffusion in a place which greets thousands of world tourists every day.

In December, to demonstrate the food and wine wealth of Italy, Gallo Nero launched “Divini Italiani”, a development project to promote hidden Italian gastronomic treasures which are paired with wines from the “Enoteca” (wine shop).

Each month will be dedicated to a different region, and the public will be able to taste specialties from Norcia, cheeses, etc.: simple but extraordinary products from small Italian producers which are paired with wines from their region.15073318_10153931509681771_9105003925657346562_n

They began in December with Umbria and products from “Il Quadrifoglio” of Norcia, hoping that the passion for good things could help one of the richest and most precious gastronomic centers of Italy, currently living through a very difficult moment because of last summer’s earhtquake.

Starting on January 15, the series will continue with Trentino Alto Adige. The project was born of the collaboration between the Consortium of Chianti Classico and Filippo Saporito of the “Leggenda dei Frati” who came up with the format.

He will choose artisans of taste from every corner of the country.
