05/05/2024: Culinary Events Cultural events of other kind
(Event rescheduled with a new date, after the cancellation of the previous date due to too low temperatures)
Second stage for 2024 of the trips aimed at combining the discovery of Italian villages and towns with wine tasting at the cellars that produce them.
This time we will go to Miradolo Terme (Pavia), where, in the first part of the trip, we will taste the production of Azienda Agricola Fratelli Guglielmini.
Subsequently we will go to discover the town.
TASTING
The idea is to be on site in the late morning, i.e. around 11.30am. There will then be time for a presentation of the winery and a visit to its vineyards to learn about its history and appreciate the panoramas and glimpses that the countryside there offers in quantity.
The grapes grown on the company's land are: Barbera, Croatina, Chardonnay, Uva Rara, Pinot Noir, Malvasia, Riesling, Cabernet Savignon, Merlot. Here are all the details: Our grapes
The tasting will take place at lunchtime and will coincide with it. The wines will be tasted together with typical products of the area, known not only for its wines but also for its excellent cured meats and fine cheeses, offered on platters for groups of 3/4 people.
This time it will be a picnic, because we will be sitting right in the middle of the vineyards!
In fact, the company will erect gazebos under which tables and chairs will be placed.
Fixed price of the tasting with buffet of typical products: 25 Euros.
For the hungriest it will be possible to order cuts at affordable prices.
Some examples of the wines produced by the Azienda Agricola Fratelli Guglielmini:
After the tasting we will go to discover Miradolo Terme, a small town but with various interesting things:
- Parish Church of San Michele Arcangelo: The current church dates back to the end of the nineteenth century, but its origins date back to the thirteenth century.
- Oratory of San Giovanni Bosco (Fig. 4): Small church about which it was not possible to find any information but which certainly deserves a visit by virtue of its apparently nineteenth-century frescoes.
- Sanctuary of Santa Maria di Monte Aureto (Fig. 5): The origins of this church date back to the medieval castle of Miradolo, of which we also find traces today on the S.Maria hill. It seems almost certain that the oratory was built between 1530 and 1537 when Don Battista Zaini was the parish rector. (Page on National Sanctuary Connection
A meeting point will be at the Sondrio stop of the MM3 at 9.45am to divide up the cars.
Anyone who wants can obviously join us directly on site later!
Anyone wishing to participate should confirm at least 3/4 days in advance by email also attaching a mobile telephone number!
Return to Milan for dinner or after dinner, depending on the inclinations of the participants!
