Sagraitalia along with Slow food Norwich are pleased to be hosting a Slow Food with Libera Terra food and wine evening on Friday 27th April at the Library Restaurant in Norwich. Libera Terra is made up of community groups and student bodies who farm lands and estates that have been confiscated from organised crime and the Mafia in Sicily and southern Italy. They produce olive oil, pasta, marmalades, biscuits and many other typical southern Italian foods together with a range of wines branded as Centopassi.

Raffles restaurants who own the Library are passionate supporters of Slow Food and Libera Terra and we are all looking forward to a memorable evening tasting the wines and eating a meal prepared from produce of local Norfolk producers and also some Libera products .


March

There will be a special wine and food evening at the Market Quarter, Elizabeth Street, Belgravia, London to mark the launch of Libera Terra wine and food in London. The evening is being held on Thursday 15th March, with only a limited number of places for the public as demand is high. Members of Slow Food London and Norwich will be also attending this unique event as Libera Terra has a close association with Slow food in Italy. Alistair Cameron from the Market Quarter is a passionate supporter of Slow Food and has been instrumental in organising the evening on behalf of Libera Terra and Sagraitalia.

There will be four Libera Terra wines to try on the evening, three from Sicily and one from Puglia, along with a tasting of organic olive oil and marmalades all produced by the small communities and volunteers who are part of the large Libera co operatives. Tickets are £15 on the door and £10 for members of Slow Food and the event is from 6.30 until 8.30 pm.

FEBRUARY 2012 

An Italian food and biodynamic wine evening was held at a private party in the city Buckingham on Friday 16th February. The evening was attended by over 50 guests and there was a range of  Italian antipasti and a varied buffet of typical Italian dishes to accompany the wines of the Tuscany region.

The wines available on the evening were all from the small artisan wine producer, La Busattina who are situated in the Maremma region of southern Tuscany. The red Legnotorto and superb Ciliegiolo as well as the white Bianco Maremma Toscana were all served to guests and we hope that the growth of the use of these types of wines will lead to a greater appreciation of biodynamic wines from Italy and elsewhere.
