The Mazzetti d’Altavilla restaurant is also recognized as a "Green" establishment
The restaurantMateria Prima" in Mazzetti d’Altavilla is among 37 hospitality and catering establishments in the provinces of Alessandria and Asti recently awarded the "Ospitalità Italiana" certification, developed by the Italian Chambers of Commerce (specifically, the Alessandria-Asti Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with ISNART – National Institute of Tourism Research). The recognition is awarded to hospitality and catering businesses that meet the quality requirements set forth in specific and updated specifications, following an evaluation based on a rating system that transforms the requirements into key performance indicators for the candidate companies. The prestigious label was awarded after careful analysis by the examiners of four priority areas: quality of service, identity, awareness, and promotion of the local area. “Materia Prima” is among 12 restaurants in the provinces of Alessandria and Asti to have obtained this certification, and is also on the list of 14 establishments in the two Piedmont provinces that also meet the “green” requirements for their attention to environmental sustainability. This double milestone comes seven years after the opening of the restaurant within the Monferrato distillery, located in the panoramic spaces of the ancient monastery perched atop Altavilla Monferrato. “Being able to boast the 'Ospitalità Italiana' certification ,” commented Sanzio Evangelisti, master distiller at Mazzetti d’Altavilla and the face of “Materia Prima” “ is an honor for us and encourages us to work even harder to promote local traditions and raw materials, presenting them in an original and attractive way. We share this recognition with the entire restaurant staff: all the collaborators are, in fact, fundamental players in this journey.” "Materia Prima" has embarked on a journey of enhancing local culinary traditions through a thoughtful reinterpretation and the accompaniment of a regionally focused wine list. Over the years, the restaurant's expansion has allowed it to host receptions, weddings, business events, and leisure events, appealing not only to a local but also increasingly cosmopolitan audience. But the real highlight is undoubtedly the opportunity to discover so-called "sensory pairings," guided and thoughtful tastings of gastronomic specialties and spirits produced at the distillery, allowing guests to experience the thrill of encountering aromas and flavors, under the watchful guidance of the restaurant staff.
