The local cuisine reigns supreme along with Italian dishes in the restaurant of Villa Madruzzo in Trento. The 4-star Villa Madruzzo hotel is named after one of the most prominent families in Trentino, which included the bishop Cristoforo Madruzzo, who used it as his summer residence. Dishes here are passionately revisited, with a focus on light cooking methods and carefully selected raw materials.
Just as an example to tempt your taste buds, the chef serves the Arctic char, one of the typical local dishes, in an almond crust with a smooth berry sauce and crispy vegetables.
Nothing can beat, weather permitting, savouring this dish on the restaurant’s terrace looking out over centuries-old pines and firs (including an approximately 400 year old cedar of Lebanon), without forgetting of course to accompany the recipe with an excellent glass of wine from the cellar, which stocks the best labels, as well as grappas and distillates produced in the Region and plenty more.
To accompany this dish, the restaurant recommends an Altemasi Trentodoc Rosé with its complex nose of ripe cherry, currants and red apple, balanced palate and persistent aftertaste; or with a Bottega Vinai Nosiola Trentino DOC, a dry, crisp wine, floral in character, with fruity apricot and green apple notes.
