THE MENU

At LORTO of Nordelaia, executive chef Charles Pearce shares his love, enjoyment of discovery and desire to bring together local raw materials with innovative techniques and suggestions from around the world.

SIGNATURE DISHES

One of Pearce’s signature dishes, which best expresses his values and technique, is Cabbage 2.0.  

Two main ingredients that overturn the logic of priorities: cabbage as the protagonist, chicken as an accompaniment.

Both are used with a “zero waste” perspective: a terrine of local Savoy cabbage from Acqui Terme is barbecued and brushed with chicken fat while cooking.

A fermented cabbage powder, obtained from the outer leaves to avoid any waste, adds an umami note to the dish, finishing with a dolceforte of oxidized pear and a double jus of chicken.

WINE LIST

The wine list, designed with expert Sommelier Davide Canina, emphasizes local realities, starting with Nordelaia’s own Nordi label. The five hectares of young vineyards of our Relais give life to our wine among which we mention Dolcetto, Barbera and our Rosé.The view of the oenological scene then widens to propose the best realities of the Piedmontese, Italian territory up to small forays into neighboring countries.
