ALTO RESTAURANT, ITALY
Creative and instinctive, Chef Mattia Trabetti cultivates the earth and the fruits it offers. "The different places where I trained helped me to develop my culinary universe and my open-mindedness. The result is a cuisine that is fresh and thoughtful, guided by my intuition and my love of experimentation". At the helm of Alto since 2021, he was awarded a Michelin star in 2025.
Garden Gastronomy is the gastronomic signature inspired by the excellence of La Grande Dame cuvée: a showcase of the Maison’s excellence composed principally with Pinot Noir from the historic crus of our terroir, striking the perfect balance between strength and finesse.
"Think of the energy concentrated in every vegetable: burying a simple acorn produces an explosion that gives rise to an oak."
My approach to Garden Gastronomy is necessarily rooted in the land and in time. My culinary identity is defined by the avant-garde and new techniques, with the greatest respect for raw materials and seasonality.
La Grande Dame 2015, an exceptionally sunny year for a wine full of energy and elegance, enhances the Pinot Noir grape variety, which accounts for 90% of the blend, in keeping with Madame Clicquot's vision: "Our black grapes make the finest white wines".
This vintage cuvée highlights the strength and daring spirit of the woman who was nicknamed ‘the grande dame of Champagne’.
Alto is the rooftop restaurant of the Executive Spa Hotel in Fiorano Modenese, where Mattia Trabetti offers sustainable cuisine with a clearly defined identity and a strong territorial and plant-based approach that seeks to enhance taste through constant technic research and creativity. One of the two tasting courses offers highlights local produce and the gastronomy of the province of Modena, while the other focuses on the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna, using seasonal produce.
In 2021, inspiration from Madame Clicquot's audacious vision and quest for perfection gave birth to Garden Gastronomy, the gastronomic signature of our prestige cuvée La Grande Dame. This is a collaboration with Michelin-starred Chefs from around the world, who draw their inspiration from sustainable and responsible cuisine and create pairings around the cuvée.
A committed, plant-based and colourful cuisine, where vegetables, herbs and fruit take center stage, while meat, fish and eggs are cooked as condiments.
