Rum Zacapa in Turin

To taste it at its best, it will be paired with author's desserts, created specifically for the occasion by two of the greatest interpreters of Italian gastronomy: Massimo Bottura and Alfredo Russo.

Massimo Bottura, Chef of the "Osteria Francescana di Modena" was named "Best Chef in the World" in 2011 by the renowned Grand Prix de l "Art de la Cuisine, delivered by the" Académie Internationale de la Gastronomie.

Pressed pineapple with Zacapa rum and crunchy coffee: this is the dessert designed by Alfredo Russo to accompany the iconic product of the Zacapa range, the Zacapa 23. The taste of pineapple is combined with the notes of red fruits and guava of the rum, while the coffee creates an excellent contrast with the enveloping sweetness of the liqueur.
