THE WINEMAKERS OF RADDA&BARLÈSH PRESENT “THE DINNER”

SATURDAY 15 JUNE PIAZZA FERRUCCI RADDA IN CHIANTI (SIENA)

On Saturday 15 June at 7.30 pm, in the historic Piazza Ferrucci of Radda in Chianti (Siena), “La Cena” dei Vignaioli di Radda 2024 will take place. The occasion will be the preview presentation of the 2020 vintage of “53017” – the wine of Radda winemakers. The dinner will be accompanied by the most prestigious wines of the 25 members.

Francesco Berardinelli , chef of the ‘Barlèsh’ restaurant in Montevarchi (Arezzo), will sign the menu for this year’s dinner. Barlèsh does ‘Cucina Improvvisa’, shy and spontaneous cuisine, far from fashion, attentive to the traditions of the territory and the people who live it every day.

Francesco Berardinelli does not have a Tuscan accent: his mother is Venetian, his father Molisano. He was born in Piedmont, on Lake Maggiore and arrived in Tuscany with his parents in the seventies. After hotel school he left for New York and went to work at the ‘San Domenico’. Upon returning to Italy, he opened his first restaurant, ‘L’Osteria di Rendola’. The articles arrived, journalists noticed him and his work and in 2000 he opened the second restaurant, ‘Beccofino’ in Florence and with him he landed the cover of ‘Wine Spectator’. From that moment everything changes: chefs arrive from all over the world to taste and discover what Francesco Berardinelli cooks. Heston Blumenthal from London, Ferran Adrià from Spain and Alain Ducasse from Paris. He receives invitations, participates in the most important festivals and cooks everywhere. “I did everything as a chef, I achieved what I wanted and I am now in the right place, what was already in my head, I returned to Barlèsh” says Berardinelli.

The wine of the winemakers of Radda “53017”

One Territory, 25 winemakers, one soul.

25 cellars, 25 lands, 25 shades of Sangiovese from the municipality of Radda in Chianti have given life to a wine of excellence, balanced and representative of the territory.

An iconic bottle, created to express the collaboration between the producers of the Radda Winemakers Association and at the same time promote their bond with the Territory.

To carry out this special project, each “Winemaker” selected and shared 27 liters of their best Sangiovese, considered the main grape variety of Chianti Classico, and combined it with that of the other winemakers to produce the “53017”, the Sangiovese of the Winemakers of Radda. The name of the wine is dedicated to the postal code of Radda in Chianti. A unique project, a blend that then rests in the depths of the cellars of Castello di Albola before seeing the light in the special Magnum bottle format. Each bottle is numbered by hand to enhance its exclusivity and uniqueness.

SCIARANUOVA FESTIVAL 2024

EIGHTH EDITION, CONTEMPORARY DRAMATURGY AT THE THEATER IN VIGNA DI PLANETA.

Four stories of creatures we rarely look at. Four original and innovative ways of telling them.
Through characters such as Sergio’s nameless wife, Italo Calvino’s Dwarf, the defeated couple of Emma Dante’s “Il Tango delle Capinere” and the generations of Tindaro Granata’s “Antropolaroid”, the 2024 edition of Sciaranuova Festival takes a look intimate and profound on the facets of the human soul. These figures, as disconcerting as they are fascinating, meet every day at the supermarket, on the train or on the street, but only at the theater do we have the chance to really get to know them.
“At a time when narratives are all similar, theater shines with energy and originality” – declares the artistic director Ottavia Casagrande, now in her fourth collaboration with Planeta . “Italian theater is a laboratory in full swing with formal experiments, innovative languages and new perspectives. What makes this art extraordinary is its ability to create entire worlds with simple means: lighting, costumes and unforgettable characters that no one else tells.”
We have reached the eighth edition and Sciaranuova Festival continues to embody the very essence of human expression. With deep gratitude for the support and enthusiasm that our public shows us, my family and the company want to support and carry forward the mission of my brother Vito – says Alessio Planeta, CEO of Planeta agricultural companies “ Theater is more than an art form; it is a refuge for the soul, a place where stories come to life and emotions take on color. With this project we want to continue to offer a variety of theatrical experiences, from classic productions to bolder new creations, to continue to inspire, entertain and challenge the minds and hearts of spectators.”
At a time when the future of theater may seem uncertain – over 500 theaters have closed in recent years -, Sciaranuova Festival continues to celebrate and support Italian theatrical art. The program is part of Culture for the Territory , the rich schedule of cultural programs and activities promoted by Planeta and which ranges from music to theatre, contemporary art and literature, bringing nationally and internationally renowned artists from multiple disciplines to Sicily every year. artistic.

SCIARANUOVA FESTIVAL
A natural theater in the heart of the vineyards, in the places where the wines of the Volcano are born, to combine the world of wine and that of entertainment: for the first time in Sicily, the vineyard is transformed into a theatre, creating a proscenium among those that once they were terraces for growing vines and using the mountains, lava and centuries-old pines as backdrops. The theater was born between the Sciaranuova vineyards and the old millstone, philologically restored and used as a tasting room and since 2015 it has hosted the “Sciaranuova Festival”. The idea of recovering this natural amphitheater and investing independently in theater programming allows for a dialogue with another art form and to also create a specific cultural valorization and production project for the development of the territory on Etna.
