How to Enjoy the Tasting Experience

The tasting journey is conceived as a marine song: beginning with a fresh and vibrant opening, followed by an aromatic and enveloping first course.

1. Appetizer: samphire with raspberry and ginger sauce

Begin with a light and surprising appetizer: natural samphire, crunchy and rich in marine salinity.
Dress it with the raspberry and ginger sauce to create an intriguing contrast. The natural brininess of the samphire, combined with the raspberry’s acidity and the warming spice of ginger, delivers a layered sensory experience.

From a neurogastronomic perspective:

• Saltiness activates deep taste receptors

• Acidity enhances sensory perception

• Ginger adds a comforting aromatic warmth

As a result, the appetizer feels elegant, light, and unexpected.

2. First Course: dill tagliolini with fish “amatriciana”

Next, continue with Alajmo’s dill tagliolini—an aromatic pasta that beautifully complements seafood sauces.
Top it with the fish amatriciana by Moreno Cedroni, a gourmet recipe featuring smoked sturgeon.
The smoky, marine notes of the sturgeon blend seamlessly with the balsamic fragrance of dill, forming a complex and refined dish.

From a neurogastronomic point of view:

• Smokiness evokes primal memories of fire and earth

• Dill introduces freshness and lightness

• Pasta binds everything together, providing comfort and balance

Together, they tell the story of the sea through a modern, sensory lens.
