Reschio is a 3,700 acres private estate in the Umbrian hills, centred around a thousand-year-old castle and a collection of over 50 farmhouses, many of which have now been restored and transformed. Once abandoned, it has been carefully revived over the past three decades by the Bolza family, architects, designers and custodians of the land
A dinner and a journey through three different destinies of the grape. Over the course of an evening shaped by tastings and stories, wine, vinegar and distillate met at the table, revealing how a single fruit can be transformed into profoundly different expressions through time, technique and the sensitivity of those who work with it.
The evening began with Foradori and the distinctive character of its biodynamic Teroldego, grown on the Alpine slopes of the Dolomites. In the glass, the wine spoke with a vibrant, mineral voice, evoking the mountains, the soil and the relationship between the vine and the landscape.
The journey then continued into the quiet shadows of Acetaia San Giacomo, where organic grape must is entrusted to wood and to a slow ageing process measured across decades. The traditional balsamic vinegar conveyed the full depth of an ancient craft, founded on patience and on gestures preserved and repeated over time.
Finally, with Capovilla, the grape encountered fire. Distillation captured its most fleeting essence, transforming it into something clear and crystalline, precise and intense. It was an almost alchemical passage, in which nothing was added and everything seemed to become more concentrated.
Bringing these three worlds together was Reschio’s culinary team. The chefs accompanied each tasting with dishes conceived not to overpower the ingredients, but to bring them into sharper focus. Through balance, precision and fire, the work of the producers reached the table in its purest form.
More than a dinner, the evening became a dialogue between masters and territories: a story of Italian craftsmanship rooted in identity, discipline and patience. From vineyard to barrel, from still to plate, every stage served as a reminder that excellence often begins with a simple gesture.
