March 25, 2025

Local specialties not to be missed

If you love food and wine, the Rotaliana Königsberg awaits you with its genuine products and experiences connected to the land. Here, at the foot of the Dolomites, we cultivate, raise, and transform high-quality raw materials, creating flavors that tell our story and local culinary tradition. Here’s what you can't miss during your visit!

WHITE ASPARAGUS FROM ZAMBANA

We grow White Asparagus from Zambana in the sandy soils along the Adige River and Noce Stream, hand-picked between March and May. Tender, delicate, and fiber-free, this De.Co. (municipal designation) product and Slow Food presidium is the star of the White Asparagus Festival in Zambana, held from April 24 to 27. With the experience "Asparagus, from the earth to the table," you can try picking it yourself and discover all the secrets of this local excellence. During the harvest season, you can also taste it in different variations at our restaurants or purchase it fresh from local producers: Asparagicoltori DeCo, Asparagicoltori Asta, and Maso Rosabel.

MEATS AND CURED MEATS

What few people know is that in Rotaliana Königsberg, there are also historic farms and butcher shops: here we raise livestock with care, respecting sustainable practices. We produce fresh meats, sausages, and artisan cured meats with unmistakable flavor, perfect to pair with a glass of wine during dinners or aperitifs. You can taste them directly from local producers, such as Aneghe Taneghe in San Michele all'Adige (also an educational farm for families), Troier in Lavis, or Filiera Ferrari in Roverè della Luna.

APPLES AND DERIVED PRODUCTS

We grow apples in large quantities and reinterpret them in all their delicious varieties: from juices, cider, dried apple chips, jams, and much more. We produce varieties like Golden, Red Delicious, Gala, Granny Smith, Fuji, Morgenduft, and Braeburn. Following Integrated Production guidelines, we proudly carry the IGP "Mele del Trentino" brand. You can taste or buy all these juicy products from our local producers: Maso del Gusto (apple juice, preserves, cider, fresh apples), Apple Blood Cider (cider – to discover with the experience "From the apple tree to the glass"), La Mela Vispa (apple juice, preserves, and jams – you can enjoy them in their dedicated experience), and La Trentina (fresh apples).

TROUT

Trout has always been one of the most caught fish in Rotaliana Königsberg, especially along the Noce and Avisio streams. But our trout are not only wild-caught: we also raise them in dedicated trout farms, following the rhythms of the mountain climate to produce lean, nutritious, tender fish rich in omega-3. Today, those of Astro (Associazione Troticoltori Trentini), based in our area, are the only IGP trout in Italy. You can find them in large local supermarkets or on their online shop.

ARTISAN COFFEE

Although coffee doesn’t grow here, the art of roasting is part of our tradition. We obtain high-quality artisanal coffee through careful selection of raw materials, ongoing research, and expertise. The historic Caffè Adler roasting company in Lavis has been expertly preparing and roasting premium blends for years to satisfy all palates: their "From the bean to the cup" experience will allow you to discover more about the world's most consumed beverage.

HONEY AND BEE PRODUCTS

The biodiversity of our forests provides bees with rich and fragrant nectar, which is why Trentino honey is considered one of the most aromatic products today. In our area, Facchinelli Beekeeping in Lavis raises bees in isolated areas and produces honey of various varieties, as well as pollen, propolis, and beeswax. WINE We have been cultivating vines for over two thousand years, and Teroldego Rotaliano is our signature wine. But it's not the only star: other reds from the area include Lagrein, Rebo, Pinot Noir, Merlot, and Cabernet, while among the whites, you'll find the indigenous Nosiola, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Bianco, Müller Thurgau, Sauvignon, Riesling, and Traminer Aromatico. Our sparkling wine houses also produce the renowned Trento Doc Metodo Classico. These are just a few of the labels you can taste at over 50 wineries in the area, participating in immersive experiences that connect you to tradition and rural culture: we recommend checking out all our Wine&Grappa experiences!

 TRENTINO GRAPPA

We produce Trentino grappa using artisanal methods, distilling fresh pomace in discontinuous bain-marie stills. Each distillery has its own secret recipe, but they all share a love for this typically local distillate, which you can discover through guided visits to distilleries and aging rooms.

CRAFT BEER

Since 2013, several small craft breweries have revived the ancient Trentino brewing tradition, enriching it with creative experiments. You can discover all the secrets of beer production and enjoy it cheerfully at the two local breweries: Birra del Bosco in San Michele all'Adige (offering the "Master Brewers" experience) and Nerobrigante on the Avisio Hills.

INFUSIONS AND HERBAL TEAS

We gather medicinal herbs, flowers, and fruits from our Trentino to create infusions and herbal teas with intense fragrances. Trentino Erbe carefully selects raw materials and works them with techniques that preserve their aromas and beneficial properties, offering a taste of nature and wellness in every sip. Coming to Rotaliana Königsberg means immersing yourself in a world of authentic flavors: all that’s left to do is embark on a journey to experience with all your senses!
