ITALIAN WINE Often Imitated, Never Duplicated

Azienda Agricola Citari Stand: 426 Region: Lombardy Web: www.citari.it

Created in 1975 by Francesco Gettuli, the Citari estate has grown over the years thanks to the love and enthusiasm passed down by the founder to his daughter, Giovanna, who now runs the estate together with her husband, Ugo Mascini, and their children, Maria Giovanna and Francesco.

It lies in a place steeped in history, the San Martino hill, a few yards from the tower of the same name erected as a memorial to the fierce battle fought here on June 24th, 1859, during the second war of independence, which paved the way for the Unification of Italy. Determination, a symbiotic relationship with the land and the constant blend of tradition, past and present, are the features that allow Citari to produce the three prestigious DOC wines of Lake Garda: Lugana, San Martino and Garda Classico.

The Citari vineyards cover 22 hectares of gentle, south facing glacial slopes. The mild climate and the terroir of Lake Garda create the most favorable pedoclimate for the perfect, traditional maturation of the grapes. The limited size of the vineyards, the harvesting entirely by hand, the careful selection of the bunches and the most modern cellar techniques all combine to enhance the peculiar characteristics of these wines, especially their structure and intense, fruity aromas.

Wines: Sorgente, Lugana DOC Conchiglia, Lugana DOC San Martino Della Battaglia "Il Vecchio Vigneto" Chiaretto Doc "18 E Quarantacinque" Garda Classico Rosso DOC

Azienda Agricola Pratello Stand: 339 Region: Lombardy Web: www.pratello.com

Vincenzo Bertola loves to talk about his company and his wines.He is driven by an ambition, to make Pratello a house which are able to offer a little sip of Garda in every bottle, but also to displace the platitudes and clichés focusing on rather unusual varieties and complex wines, which often aim to go beyond the identity of the area, but see them as an alternative to the more traditional types. To organize the new vineyard,Vincenzo Bertola has given high priority to agricultural management.

"The quality comes from the win yards.We first tried to understand where we were, and then to suit the crops to the soil and climate of the area. All this is developed through a continuous dialogue with industry experts, and especially with my father Dante who founded the company and who still is by my side, he is the true soul of Pratello agriculture"

Wines: Lugana DOC Catulliano Lugana DOC Il Rivale Lieti Conversari Lagarder, Riesling Chiaretto Valtènesi DOC Sant’Emiliano Turrazzo Valtènesi DOC Vasori Nero per Sempre Pratello Brut Pratello Brut Rosè

Cantina della Volta Spa Stand: 416 Region: Emilia Romagna Web: www.cantinadellavolta.com

After finishing his studies in agricultural science in 1986, Christian Bellei joined his father in the family’s winery known as “Francesco Bellei & C.”, located in Bomporto (Modena). Living right next door to the winery, Christian grew up as an apprentice boy taking care of almost any task involved with the wine-making activity, thus learning in full the meaning of winery management from the arrival of the grapes to be pressed, the subsequent wine-making process, bottling and labeling up to packing the finished bottles into the cases to be marketed.

Christian’s father was very fond of high quality sparkling wines and so working alongside him afforded him the opportunity to learn how to taste a wine distinguishing any little detail.We tasted every single production together and the result of that activity granted me a higher sensibility towards any nuance of a wine. He taught Christian how a single little note could make a wine really unique. For Christian,“wine is not the result of an algebraic formula: it is the outcome of a serious research activity combined with unrestrained passion. Being able to taste a wine, from my personal point of view, is a sort of legacy”. This specific “legacy” is the milestone of a new venture which started in March 2010. A group of friends, very fond of quality wines, offered Christian the chance to be involved first-hand in the management of a winery called CANTINA DELLAVOLTA.The deal is conditioned on a basic rule: that he must keep making wines his way.

Cantina della Volta has become also a milestone of his working life, since it signified an important turning point and offered the professional challenge he was waiting for.

Indeed, it offered the opportunity to see his family’s old winery, founded in 1920, fully restored. This brand new building has now become the laboratory where he makes the most of his oenological talent creating wines of outstanding quality, obtained by the traditional method of fermentation in bottle.

Baldassare Agnelli USA Stand: 333 Region: Lombardy www.agnelliusa.com Email Bianca.Pelli@agnelli.net

Company Description: Time has passed since the historic site of the beginning of 1900 in Via Fantoni, in the center of Bergamo , to the present modern factory in Lallio, in the province of Bergamo.

We made our long way since then, but the atmosphere you breathe has remained unchanged: industriousness, commitment, absolute research for quality and perfection in every single detail and the awareness that the pulsating heart of a successful company is not the buildings or machineries, but the aspiration, determination and mutual effort of the people working for it. A group philosophy filled with research and innovation, that has managed to acquire a solid primacy in the field of professional pans and pots, to such an extent that the expression “Agnelli Pan or Pot” is synonym of best production compliant with quality.

At the end of 1800, Baldassare Agnelli was the first to recognize the great potential of aluminium, a material considered “noble” at that time, giving the go-ahead to the industrial conversion and founding the company that still keeps his name. Aluminium guarantees excellence in the kitchen thanks to its natural characteristics: uniform heat distribution, resistance, handiness and practicality.

The company Baldassare Agnelli, by promoting the study of materials and forms for cookware, enhances the Italian high cuisine, stressing how important it is to combine the appropriate tool with each recipe in order to exhalt its qualities.

A winning philosophy, capable of capturing the appreciation of chefs, restaurateurs, enogastronomes, gourmands and enthusiasts who recognize that Baldassare Agnelli Professional Cooking products have “the edge over” the field of cooking instruments.

But challenges, like exams, never finish and today the third and fourth generation of Agnelli's family are taking up that legacy, inherited from the company's founder, to spread in Europe and in the world a label which is a byword for absolutely excellent cuisine.

Products: Premium cookware from Italy

About Chef Stefano Palermo of Risotteria Melotti Born in Verona, Stefano Palermo is a young and talented Italian Chef.

During his working career, Chef Palermo participated in numerous culinary events.
