"My cuisine is based on the tastes and flavours stored in my memory. I draw my inspiration from my childhood memories of Puglia, to create an ideal journey between my southern origins and the north, which has been my home for a number of years. I select my ingredients with meticulous care by focusing on small or very small producers, to shape a vision that also showcases techniques and the most modern combinations, respecting the most authentic and traditional flavours.Respecting the uniqueness of each ingredient, especially ingredients that have been forgotten, and creating something new without revolutionising makes the people who sit at my table happy. This is what I strive for."

The Albereta Hotel stands in the ancient vineyards and rolling hills of Italy’s Franciacorta region. Since mediaeval times, the area has cultivated vineyards, olive groves, and vegetable gardens, many of which supplied the region’s Renaissance princes and merchants.
Franciacorta’s sparkling wines are among the few to be awarded Italy’s prestigious DOCG status for quality and geographic authenticity. The area’s fermentation method was also recognized for its quality in 2003 by the European Community. The owners’ winery, Bellavista, whose cellars are a stone’s throw from guests’ rooms, upholds and promotes this fine tradition. The emphasis is on quality and organic production. It uses time-honored cultivation methods that rely only on the natural cycle of Franciacorta’s seasons. Carefully placed vines, manual harvesting, and hand selection—vine by vine—are among the authentic techniques that make Bellavista’s wines unique. Secondary fermentation uses the traditional method over at least two years—with bottles turned by only hand.
