The impacts of climate change are being felt here and now. From floods in Germany to wildfires in Greece and Turkey; water shortages in Northern Europe and even heatwaves in Siberia. Intensifying weather events threaten our way of life, with severe impacts on people’s health, livelihoods and assets.
To help accelerate the Europe’s climate adaptation strategy and meet ambitions to become the world’s first climate-neutral continent by 2050, the European Commission has awarded a new flagship project named IMPETUS. Its objective: turn climate commitments into tangible, urgent actions to protect communities and the planet. The IMPETUS project will help accelerate Europe’s response to climate change and develop innovative measures to make its regions more resilient.
Motivated and multidisciplinary teams in research, policy, industry and civil society will address real-world challenges in seven test regions across Europe. Together these represent all the continent’s bio-climatic regions: Arctic, Atlantic, Boreal, Coastal, Continental, Mediterranean and Mountainous.
These teams will analyse and scale the most effective solutions to protect water, agriculture, fisheries, infrastructure and health. Working with local policy-makers, businesses and communities will help to make them a success.
Within the seven regional test beds – one in each bioclimatic region of Europe – the Valle dei Laghi and Cantina Toblino were identified to represent the mountainous area and seek innovative solutions to be used in the future to tackle climate change.
“93% of Europeans consider climate change a serious problem. To respond effectively, we need to adapt our policy actions and strategies to new climatic situations. We need to better understand when and how to act in a transition to green economy.” says Aitor Corchero, Eurecat senior researcher and project technical coordinator. “IMPETUS is important because it demonstrates the concrete actions we all urgently need to take to protect the environment and the economy. It will work on solutions for a range of climate conditions ““ from the artic to the Mediterranean basin ““ empower communities and protect key systems like water, agriculture and infrastructure.”
Cantina Toblino will play a key role in the Impetus project, in particularly with regard to the development of an applicable and scalable Innovation Package in different mountain areas in a national and international context. This objective will be achievable thanks to the contribution of various stakeholders and through the creation of an European network of institutions and private bodies able to contribute to the realization of the project as well as the promotion of the same in various communities of reference. The main ambitious is to be able to increase material and immaterial know-how as well as to augment the sense of responsibility regarding the main critical points and vulnerabilities related to climate change.
The impact we would like to see at the end of this path is the dissemination and adoption of some of the best practices identified over the next 4 years in an European context aimed at encouraging climate and social resilience. Cantina Toblino will be the reference point and the spokesperson of a series of initiatives able to lead to the environmental and socio-economic protection of mountain areas.
Sarche di Madruzzo ““ Hosteria Toblino has restarted in this 2021 with lots of energy, lots of ideas and lots of projects. Among these, an important project that manages to combine cuisine and art.
“The union between art and cuisine is inseparable, a chef is a kitchen artist who knows how to dose color giving unique touches to his canvas.”
This is the thought of Chef Sebastian Sartorelli of Hosteria Toblino, now an institution of Trentino cuisine located right in the heart of the splendid Valle dei Laghi. A kitchen in which the young chef manages to combine energy, passion and creative flair to bring out the best of excellent local products such as lake fish, mushrooms, polenta, potatoes, salted meat…
Sebastian is a chef-artist who, in addition to creating dishes with a great visual impact, expresses his creativity in painting, a painting made of touches or rather, drops of color that fall spontaneously, are thrown or stained on the canvas.
The inspiration is the pictorial technique of “dripping”, used by the American avant-gardes whose greatest exponent was certainly Jackson Pollock. A real exaltation of the energy of the moment, of the vibrations of space-time. Unconditional, spontaneous gestures that tell who we are, our feelings, our sensations.
The chef-artist becomes an integral part of the work. The painting is not a simple image, it is an event that can appear simple or complex depending on who stops to observe it.
“An energy that does not end in the canvas but enters into symbiosis with the observer, in our case also taster of the dishes, real works of art prepared by the chef.”
A project, an idea that combines cuisine and art, which have always been linked by an almost transcendent and indissoluble force. Art in cuisine & cuisine in art.
Tempera, sometimes food painting, also a direct involvement of the guests of Hosteria Toblino during exuberant themed evenings where each of the guests can leave their own personal indelible memory on the canvas.

The Vino Santo Trentino, “passito dei passiti”. A unique wine, inextricably linked to the history and oenological tradition of the Valle dei Laghi. A rarity with a production so small that it is nicknamed “gold of the Valle dei Laghi”. A pearl to be preserved and valued with care. For Cantina Toblino it represents the highest expression of the passion and patience necessary for the care of the vineyard, of the vinsantaia where drying occurs on the “aréle”, of the barrel cellar where it refines and ages for almost 15 years.
Today the Vino Santo Trentino can count on a splendid space entirely dedicated, a museum where anyone can know the oenological and agronomic excellence of the Valle dei Laghi represented by the Nosiola and the’ Vino Santo. The Casa Caveau Vino Santo it was inaugurated together with local institutions in the first half of February, however the official presentation to the public should have been held on the occasion of DiVinNosiola 2020 obviously canceled due to the spread in the world of Covid-19. But there will be a restart, there must be. All the producers of the Vino Santo, from the Associazione Vignaioli Vino Santo which comprises Maxentia Distillatori & Vignaioli Cantina Pisoni‘ Az Agr Gino Pedrotti‘ Francesco Poli Santa Massenza‘ Giovanni Poli Santa Massena‘ Az Agr Pravis to Az Agr Salvetta Rautenand’ Cantina Toblino believe in the recovery and potential of the Valle dei Laghi, Nosiola and Vino Santo. An excellence that can now be appreciated by all wine-lovers and not only thanks to an interactive experience that takes you from a walking path on Lago di Santa Massenza–Lago di Toblino to the Casa Caveau Vino Santo where you can immerse yourself entirely in an experiential and sensorial path aimed at knowing the Valle dei Laghi, the Nosiola and in particular the Vino Santo.
The Casa Caveau Vino Santo, strongly desired not only by the producers but also by APT Trento Bondone Valle dei Laghi and Ecomuseo Valle dei Laghi, it is an enchanting place created in an abandoned withering room used since the early 1900s by the father of Rebo Rigotti for the drying of the Nosiola grapes suitable for the production of Vino Santo. As soon as you enter, your gaze rests on different panels that tell each anecdote related to the Vino Santo, from the history, to the production areas, to the drying, the vinification, the refinement and the maturation. Nothing is left to chance. A prepared guide will accompany the visitor on a short journey which also includes videos, images, sounds and interactive stories by individual producers. Everything ends with a tasting of Vino Santo.
A unique experience, to try.
