Sunrise Mattias: a gourmand breakfast at sunrise

Today the fourth edition of Sunrise Mattias took place, the Gourmand breakfast that welcomed over 250 guests at sunrise in a wonderful landscape over Livigno, offering a unique memory in honour of the beloved Chef Mattias Peri

  • Today, Monday 1st April, the Gourmand Breakfast cooked by Michelin Starred Chefs was held at high altitude in Livigno: Alessandro Gilmozzi, Alessandro Negrini, Stefano Masanti, Giancarlo Morelli, Claudio Prandi and Maurizio Valli gathered in an evocative location, that was made special by the presence of ice sculptures, pristine snow and tables full of delicious food.

Sunrise Mattias was organized in memory of the dear friend and Chef Mattias Peri, the first Valtellina chef to receive the Michelin star in 2009. The event started even before sunrise, when all the participants, on foot, with snowshoes or with ski mountaineering set off in the middle of nature and under the clear blue sky, to reach the "Plan dali Carboneira" the location of the event, located on the ski slopes of Carosello 3000. The breathtaking view of the Italian Alps welcomed the guests for the Yoga lesson performed by Karen Pizzinini, which kicked off the event amid the emotional silence that preceded the rising of the sun.

Afterwards, the participants had the chance to enjoy a Livigno's gourmand menu, walking among different and wonderful personalized sculptures realized by the local artist Vania Cusini, which between engraved names, waves and ice shapes gave uniqueness to every corner of the Location.
The excellent food and wine tour saw haute cuisine and Valtellina specialities prepared for the occasion by the following Chefs:

  • "Author's cappuccino" by Maurizio Valli (Bergamo): "Cappurange" is a very sweet orange juice with a fine texture like cappuccino foam. The base is always the espresso coffee, selected based on the notes of chocolate, with a light topping of cinnamon.
  • "Sweet Polenta's Colomba" by Alessandro Gilmozzi (El Molin di Cavalese, 1 Michelin star). With this dish, the chef wanted to anticipate Easter, a feast that boasts the "Colomba" among its symbols, which stands on this occasion in memory of Mattias Peri.
  • "Ragout Sandwich" by Giancarlo Morelli (Pomiroeu di Seregno, 1 Michelin star), the chef wanted to present a breakfast that recalls his Bergamo origins but declined in the territory of the Little Tibet. Bread heated on hot pioda stone, mixed with BIO flour from Valtellina, with parmesan cream, a filling of casoncello and fermented cabbage (as it was once cooked), delighted guests with an appetizing gourmet sandwich.
  • "Pan Bidul and Chocolate" by Alessandro Negrini (Il Luogo by Aimo and Naida from Milan, 2 Michelin stars): the simple bread butter and chocolate in a revisited livigno's version with a gourmet twist. The Chef wanted to create a simple dish that recalled the typical mountain breakfast, to welcome guests and comfort them with hot chocolate. The idea of the simple dish was born to harmonize the different courses presented.

  • "Uova alla Medesima" by Stefano Masanti (Il Cantinone di Madesimo, 1 Michelin star): a special version of the eggs. The Chef loves local cuisine, revisited in his own way, thanks to the ideas and techniques acquired during his travels around the world. The egg, that provides protein for breakfast, with chestnut cream from Samolaco in Valtellina, jam from red fruits typical of the mountains and cream of Valtellina Casera DOP cheese.

The starred Chefs participated at the event in honour of Mattias Peri, and with their dishes recalled in great style the dear friend and Chef Mattias, his passion for the mountain, the territory and its products of origin.
