Chef at Signum restaurant in Italy
Martina Caruso, Italy’s youngest Michelin-starred chef in 2016, leads the restaurant Signum, nestled on the small island of Salina, north of Sicily. Deeply connected to her roots and the family establishment, she passionately elevates her signature ingredients: garlic, oil, chili, fish, and octopus, in an authentic and heartfelt cuisine.
At 29, she was named “Italian chef of the Year 2019” by the Michelin Guide. She has also been awarded a Michelin Green Star.
“I listen to my terroir, I trust my emotions. Cooking is for me an act of freedom.”
For the chef, cooking is the most authentic form of personal expression. She blends her cultural influences with those from other regions.
Through her cuisine, Martina Caruso supports and highlights local producers by reinterpreting the raw ingredients of the Aeolian Islands, showcasing their distinctive flavors, aromas, and typical products.
Experience the purest expression of Pinot Noir with La Grande Dame 2018, a celebration of Madame Clicquot's unique vision, drive and audacity.
Its deep and precise style is characterized by subtle finesse and freshness, expressed through its salinity. Intense aromas emerge through a delicate scent of citrus - lemon, lime, yuzu - blended with white fruit, enhanced by spring and floral notes.
Signum features three terraces with breathtaking views, where every detail is thoughtfully designed to provide an unforgettable dining experience. The dishes, true masterpieces of flavor and presentation, highlight the finest fresh ingredients. The menu evolves with the seasons, celebrating the island’s rich agricultural bounty.
Inspired by Madame Clicquot’s audacious spirit, Garden Gastronomy, born in 2021, is an initiative that brings together a community of Michelin-starred chefs from around the world, creating bespoke food and champagne pairings specially imagined for La Grande Dame.
This approach invites a rediscovery of taste through a truly authentic culinary experience. The chefs’ creativity is expressed through the celebration of garden-grown ingredients—freshly harvested fruits and vegetables—echoing those cultivated in the Maison’s emblematic kitchen garden at the Manoir de Verzy.
