10:00 AM-11:00 AM, PalaTorrone, P.zza Roma PANETTONE AT 365° What happens when a leavened cake meets nougat? The answer lies in a fragrant and soft slice of ASTRONOMICO panettone from Panettoneria 365, which, studded with Rivoltini nougat grains, will provide an enveloping and unmissable tasting experience. During this event, the Panettoneria 365 company and two of its flagship products will be presented: the Astronomico panettone and the Italico panettone, a special leavened cake enriched with raspberry juice and glazed with Sicilian pistachio chocolate coating—a rare specialty to be savored.

3:00 PM-5:00 PM, Galleria XXV Aprile NOUGAT INSTALLATION IN THE SHAPE OF GRANA PADANO Can the iconic wheel of Grana Padano cheese, a cornerstone product of the region, switch from its traditional saltiness to sweet notes and the scent of honey? The answer is yes when Rivoltini Alimentare Dolciaria of Vescovato (CR) is behind the scenes. To break every record, they will honor the emblem of local PDO excellence by shaping their traditional nougat production into the highly unusual form of a Grana Padano wheel. The work will come to life and be displayed to the public to be admired and photographed, but above all tasted, as at the end of the presentation it will be portioned and distributed to all visitors curious to taste this piece of gastronomic history.

5:00 PM-6:00 PM, PalaTorrone, P.zza Roma NOUGAT, WHAT A PASSITO! The highly esteemed Prof. Rodolfo Passalacqua, a well-known and dear name in the Cremona hospital scene, steps out of his role as head physician to present the wine production from his Ceramida farm. The farm takes its name from the locality where it stands, a hamlet of Bagnara Calabra (RC) and a pearl of the wonderful Costa Viola. Together with Rivoltini Alimentare Dolciaria, we will witness a paired tasting of nougat and wines born from native grape varieties, creating an authentic flavor that develops character and harmony over time. We are talking about two artisanal excellences compared in this tasting that will not leave visitors disappointed as they immerse themselves in a sensory journey from North to South. BOOK HERE
