An evening not to be missed “THE LARGE BOTTLES OF GASPARE BUSCEMI ACCOMPANIE THE DISHES OF CHEF PAOLO SPERANZON” Thursday 24 October, 8.00 pm.
An evening not to be missed for gourmets and lovers of good wine. Thursday 24 October at 8pm at Locanda San Martino, a historic venue in San Martino d’Alpago, a hamlet of Chies, a mountain village in the province of Belluno. The large bottles of Gaspare Buscemi accompany the dishes of chef Paolo Speranzon. In the 1950s, Pier Paolo Pasolini coined the definition “master in the shadows” for the Ligurian poet Camillo Sbarbaro; this fine attribution is well suited to Gaspare Buscemi, a singular figure of “artisan winemaker”, in his words! In the literary field he would be classified as a writer for writers or in the musical field a musician for musicians; ultimately considered, respected and esteemed in the restricted circle of insiders, but little known to most. Yet this gentleman boasts a cursus honorum of considerable specific weight. In the 60s he was one of those commendable trailblazers who literally refounded the world of wine in Friuli Venezia Giulia, later he revived important wineries in Piedmont and, among many others, we find him among the creators of the best Italian Brandy, the “Villa Zarri”. A man of undoubted intellectual honesty, lively intelligence, vast culture and absolute originality in the wine panorama of the Bel Paese. Gaspare Buscemi will comment on his wines during the evening. As a gift to the participants, his “Practical Guide to the Pleasure of Wine”
