A  JOURNEY THROUGH THE ITALIAN BUBBLES TRADITION AND PASSION

TUESDAY – SEPTEMBER 15, 2020 | 4:30pm-6:00 pm EST

On Tuesday, September 15^th , The Italy-America Chamber of Commerce Southeast (IACCSE) has proudly held the IACCSE e-masterclass series: “Prosecco DOC: a journey through the Italian bubbles tradition and passion”, an online masterclass that gave attendees the opportunity to discover four authentic Italian Prosecco DOC labels thanks to the contribution of importers and distributors operating in Florida, as well as the participation of industry experts.

The e-masterclass was part of the “The Extraordinary Italian Taste” campaign, promoted by the Italian Government and devoted to the promotion of ‘Made in Italy’ products and the education of American consumers on protected denominations.

Prosecco is the world’s most exported Italian wine and the US market alone accounts for 21% of the exports outside of Italy (second only to Europe), with Florida representing a significant share.

During this online event – moderated by Doreen Colondres (Celebrity Chef, Wine Educator, and Cookbook Author) – a panel of experts from the industry shared their expertise and experience in the wine world, with a particular focus on the Prosecco DOC market opportunities and main trends in Florida:

• Miguel De Arregui, Director of Food and Beverage, Mandarin Oriental Miami
• Alessandra Esteves, Director of Wine Education, Florida Wine Academy
• Jennifer Schmitt, Head Sommelier, Zuma Miami
• Dieter Xiao, Restaurant Operations and Development Manager, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings

The e-masterclass allowed the audience to learn not only about the technical characteristics of each of the presented wines, but also to take part to a journey through the many different aspects that revolve around Prosecco DOC and its legacy in the Italian lifestyle, culture and cuisine. Its territory of origin, the best plates to serve it with, how to create cocktails with Prosecco, are just examples of the themes that the presentations included:

• Torresella Prosecco DOC
represented by Kristina Sazama, Wine Educator, Santa Margherita USA
PROSECCO, A SUCCESSFUL STORY

• Conca d’Oro Prosecco DOC
represented by Paolo Perillo, Co-owner and Sommelier, Italwine USA
PROSECCO BEST PAIRING

• Mille Prosecco DOC
represented by Cristina Mistri, Owner, RDL Wine
PROSECCO COCKTAILS

• Marca Oro DOC Brut
represented by Matteo Bolla, Business Development Manager, Cantine Valdo
BUBBLES & MUSIC

The panel of experts, that prior the event received the wine box with the Proseccos, were interactively involved through a live wine tasting.

The initiative was also open to a public of wine lovers that had the opportunity to participate to the masterclass as spectators and learn about Prosecco DOC and the characteristics of each of the four presented wines, as well as to take part to the tasting by purchasing the wines prior the event at the gourmet market:  Origini Italian Market  , Miami (FL)

On September 1st 2020, the Italy-America Chamber of Commerce Southeast held ‘The Authentic Italian Table: Northern Italy’s Rustic Cuisine’, a virtual event arranged through Zoom in which participants had the opportunity to enjoy flavors and views from Northern Italy.

In addition, besides the food products and their flavors, the stars of the event have also been the Italian locations and views, presented by a representative of the Italian Government Tourist Board (ENIT).

Michelin-starred Chef CRISTIANO TOMEI
April 28, 2020 | 4pm-6pm EST

About the Masterclass

If you think you know authentic Italian cuisine…Think twice.

Beyond the three magic P’s –pasta, pizza, polenta– there is a vast choice of traditional recipes that omit animal protein. The average everyday Italian diet is very vegetarian-friendly, and the reason for this is the country’s cultural heritage.

Italy experienced opulence only after the industrial revolution. Animal protein until then was a lavish indulgence not all layers of society could afford, especially in the more poverty-stricken, rural areas of the country. Proof of this late 19thcentury austerity is now densely present in the traditional meatless preparation of classic recipes and regional specialties. Italians heavily rely on locally-grown produce and seasonal crop cycles to prepare their daily meals

Michelin-starred Chef Cristiano Tomei walked us through a reinterpretation of everyday Italian favorites.

About Cristiano Tomei

Michelin-starred Cristiano Tomei, is considered one of the most talented chefs in Italy.

He is largely known for his tremendous ability to combining local traditions with foreign influences. His cuisine enhances locally-grown products, recalling his grandmothers’ cooking methods, as well as his deep connection with his Tuscan roots. while interpreting and pairing them with a more modern twist.

He is also known for hosting a variety of cooking TV shows in Italy, acting as a judge on “Cuochi d’Italia” and “Pupi & Fornelli”, and on the “Kitchen Sound show” side by side with Chef Alessandro Borghese. He has a great capacity to entertain the public thanks to his playful and genuine character.

His restaurant – “L’Imbuto” -located in the historic city of Lucca (Tuscany), conquered the Michelin star in 2014. It has little to do with fine dining restaurants. It almost looks like a bistro. There’s not even a menu:”Just say the number of courses and leave it to the chef”. He explains: «Cooking is like jazz: the music score is set, but harmonies are the result of the musician’s improvisation. As chefs, we must offer happiness, our goal is to engage the senses”

Details

The online masterclass was run on the Zoom platform from 4:00 to 6:00 pm EST.

VIP Guests received a home-delivery gift bag containing the ingredients and recipes necessary to prepare the dishes, as well as informative collateral about the products used.

During the two-hour online class, the audience was educated on how to appreciate the selected products needed to create the dishes, while preparing their own recipe from their kitchen.
