Danilo Poggio
Danilo Poggio is not only a professional journalist dealing with daily news as editor of a Piedmontese regional TV bulletin. He is also a food-and-wine enthusiast by descent, vocation and choice. A certified wine taster, he sits on the juries of wine and food competitions. For over 15 years he has talked about dishes and wine in print (Avvenire, La Cucina Italiana, Condé Nast Traveller), on radio (Radio Deejay and Radio Capital), on TV (Italia Uno, Rai Scuola and GRP Televisione) and at many live events around Italy — as his videos on Instagram, YouTube and the Spotify podcast I nuovi mosti show. Made a Knight of the Italian Republic for his passion in 'spreading the value of local territories', he loves to taste places, convinced that serious questions can only be asked at the table, and strictly after dessert. He returns to Sherbeth with boundless enthusiasm.
Tasty are the festival's credit. Buy them as often as you like, picking the package you prefer — from your phone or at one of the tills — and then go from stand to stand without reaching for anything again.
One Tasty is worth one euro of gelato. But each package is an offer of its own: the bigger it is, the more Tasty we throw in. Keep an eye on the promotions.
At the stand you open your wallet and let them scan your Wallet QR code, or you read out your Code. The maker reads it, the Tasty move, and the gelato is yours.
The code lives in the bottom bar, under your thumb: keep it ready while you queue.
Every gelato you taste, you can review. Reviews count towards the audience prizes, and they earn you free Tasty.
And the more Tasty you gather, the more spins of the wheel you get — where you win more Tasty.
You can send Tasty to anyone, as many as you like, and receive them from anyone who sends you some. And if you are holding a receipt with Tasty on it, you load it and they land in your wallet: that works even for a receipt you did not buy yourself — anyone can hand it to you, the way a paper voucher is handed over.
Whatever is left stays where it is, and you can always hand some to whoever is with you.
Tastings, meetings with the master makers, award nights: you look at the programme, book your seat and turn up.
The ticket is a QR like the wallet one: show it at the door and you are in.
Who is taking part, which flavours they bring and where in the square their stand is: the map tells you in one tap, and each maker's page tells you the rest.
Favourite the ones you want to taste: you will find them together once you are there.
