The delegation Bigusto Food had the privilege to participate in the 7 th Symposium of Gewürztraminer Termeno . I state that this was a different mission, we have not explored territories and traditions with the pioneering spirit that distinguishes us, we were invited as a food journalist and placed them in a guided tour which included wine tastings, dinners and visits to historical cellars author . 
to be our guide, the ubiquitous Martin Foradori , owner of the famous winery which we had the honor to experience, in several instances, the best Hobenhofer 2007, a masterful reserve. 
The many moments of tasting were hosted in a place of excellence, the establishment Roner , the most famous distillery Termeno. The selections were made by experts Gewürztraminer sommelier's special guests, Daniela Scrobogna AIS di Roma (better known for his book Taste, in the TG5) and Aldo Sohm, world champion sommelier. The tasting began at times prohibitive: 10: oo am, but we have tasted dozens of wines almost never spit in the spittoon. I state that we have not trained as a sommelier and often struggle to find in a wine's aromas, scents and flavors listed, but with excellent teachers and a bit 'of experience in the field have clearly distinct botrytis, the aromas of flowers and plants and the sugar content.
This year there were 111 Gewurztraminer from around the world, and sympathy with the mayor of Termeno Dissertori Werner made a comparison between the G8, which was held simultaneously in L'Aquila and the G 111 to Termeno, since so many were the producers participating in the Symposium. A landlord friendly, attentive and caring. A visit to the cellars there has clearly shown the desire to produce a quality wine with a method that allows manufacturers to be on the market in a competitive position with wine producing areas far more aggressive. 
to remember is certainly the cellar Termeno or Kellerei Tramin , thanks to the team formed by members and dall'encomiabile winemaker Willi Sturz has produced a wine of considerable interest, especially for usual standard of wineries that unfortunately too often produce poor quality wines. 
We tasted a wide range of wines, but the Nussbaumer 2007 has impressed us for freshness, flavor, balance, and indeed the source, an infinite series of small producers with an average of 1 head hectare of vineyard. 
Another winery that has gained our interest was Elena Walch , with its complex of steel and wooden barrels (the latter only for the red, with huge barrels carved by local craftsmen of wood, each designed to celebrate an important event for the family Walch) stored in a cellar historic on several levels, with a maximum depth of 9 meters. 
Among the culinary highlights is to remember the dinner of apples from South Tyrol prepared by the chef of the restaurant Joerg Trafoier Kuppelrain starry night on Thursday, opening night of the Symposium . Joerg debuted with a single dish consisting of a tiramisu Gewurztraminer jelly and foie gras as a starter, un'orzotto with prawns and apple as the first, and a fantastic cheek braised veal on a bed of celery and apple puree . To Finally dinner Joerg proposed a pannacotta with its production of apricots and apricot juice organic, always its own production.
rightly dishes were served with 60 types of local Gewurztraminer displayed on a stand in the courtyard of the castle of Rechtenthal, and almost as many from around the world, presented in a room in the basement delll'incantevole fortified residence.
Another culinary particular meeting we had with the Russian representation has brought in addition to traditional food-based Russian salmon caviar, sour cream and smoked fish, cooked by the chef 's Tatiana Hotel Moscow, the typical hospitality of their country, with music and songs. 
The dishes were matched by flavor wines chosen for us by Aldo Sohm, sommelier world champion now working in the restaurant Le Bernardin in New York. A mission may be too limited compared to our usual type of culinary adventures, but really interested, complete and enjoyable, certainly recommended for fans of a versatile wine that sees itself in the perfect union of a territory (padron, terroir ) with its traditions.
