The harmony between wine and food

Fans of wine and food should not miss this tasting: wines from the Cantina alla Maggia are expertly paired with finger food prepared by star chef Mattias Roock.

A tasting created by the teamwork of Antonio Pischedda, Sommelier and Head of the Enoteca Alimentare of Cantina alla Maggia, and Mattias Roock, Executive Chef of Castello del Sole and Locanda Barbarossa, who together have selected ingredients to enhance and exalt the perfect harmony between food and wine.
