Eleonora Riso at Podere Pendolino: An Evening of Excellence with the Winner of MasterChef Italy
A special evening lit up Podere Pendolino with the extraordinary presence of Chef Eleonora Riso, winner of the thirteenth edition of MasterChef Italy. The first Tuscan to win the prestigious title, Eleonora is today one of the brightest figures in the new Italian cuisine.
Authentic, passionate, and deeply connected to her roots, Eleonora has transformed her love for gastronomic tradition into a career that combines talent, creativity, and respect for the territory. This commitment earned her recognition from the Tuscany Regional Council, which appointed her ambassador of Tuscan culinary art in Italy and worldwide. Vetrina Toscana also honored her for the strong bond between her cuisine and origins, a sincere expression of territorial identity that evokes emotion on the plate.
Sensitive and straightforward, just like the land she represents, Eleonora was the star of the closing evening of the Elisir Ginepro event. A unique encounter where taste, passion, and gastronomic storytelling fused into an unforgettable experience for all attendees.
Podere Pendolino is proud to have hosted a chef embodying Tuscan excellence, engaging with the audience in an authentic and captivating way. An evening that will remain in the hearts—and palates—of those privileged to attend.
