Do you make gelato in winter too?
in-VER-no — three syllables, stress on second.
In autumn or winter when you are uncertain if a gelateria remains open year-round.
Many seasonal gelaterias close in winter (November–March). But quality artisan gelaterias remain open year-round, changing their flavour palette to winter fruits and ingredients: chestnut ('castagna'), pear ('pera'), blood orange ('arancia rossa'), and hazelnut.

Do you have chestnut?
Chestnut gelato ('castagna') is the quintessential autumn-winter flavour in Italy
Winter gelato in Italy is a different but equally wonderful experience. Chestnut gelato ('castagna') is deeply linked to Italian autumn culture — roasted chestnuts ('caldarroste') are sold on street corners from October. The gelato version captures all the warmth and comfort of the season in a cold, silky form.
