A path that he himself describes as a puzzle: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEach of these stages, in restaurants with important figures, left me with a small piece that came together here in Appiano,\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> explains the Chef, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201callowing me to develop a cuisine that is entirely rooted in the territory, even though I am not originally from these areas.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><b>A menu that listens to nature<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since 2012, and with the opening of the new location in 2018, Osteria Acquarol has followed a clear direction: to create an essential, flavour-driven and accessible experience, where the menu does not undergo abrupt changes but lives through constant metamorphosis. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOur cuisine is in motion, like the turning of the seasons. There is never a sharp break between spring and summer, but rather a transformation that follows what our gardens and nature offer us day after day.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><b>Kettmeir and Osteria Acquarol: together, with the same philosophy<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The strength of Alto Adige lies precisely in its ability to bring together small excellences within a shared vision: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt is remarkable how this territory has transformed the work of farmers into its strength. Many wineries contain within them many small pieces and unique characteristics; no other region like this is able to bring them together, like an orchestra, inside a bottle.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This search for coherence led the Chef to choose partners who shared the same vision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A perfect example of this synergy is the meeting between <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kettmeir.com\/en\/wines\/athesis-brut\/\"><b>Kettmeir Athesis Brut<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the Chef\u2019s cuisine. Bellingeri suggests a pairing with a wild garlic tortello filled with alpine ricotta, finished with flowers from the garden and polypody root. In this dish, where every bite releases different aromas, the bubbles play a fundamental role: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAthesis Brut helps bring freshness and lightness, allowing the aromas of the herbs to emerge with extreme clarity.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><b>Watch the full content.<\/b><\/h3>\n<div style=\"width: 406px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-2335-1\" width=\"406\" height=\"720\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kettmeir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Intervista-Bellingeri-Sub-Eng_720.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kettmeir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Intervista-Bellingeri-Sub-Eng_720.mp4\">https:\/\/www.kettmeir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Intervista-Bellingeri-Sub-Eng_720.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the heart of Appiano, Osteria Acquarol represents one of the most unmissable destinations in Alto Adige\u2019s fine dining scene.
