The Wine Islands, among the wines of Sardinia, heroic wines and Alta Langa.
The 2025 edition of Cocco… Wine will take place on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th September in Cocconato.
One of the most delicious and popular food and wine events in Piedmont has reached its 24th edition this year.
The Go Wine association promotes and organizes the event in agreement with the Municipality of Cocconato and the Cocconato Riviera del Monferrato Consortium .
A successful formula that evolves with each edition and promotes multiple factors: the valorization of the locations (the landscape of Cocconato, the walkable historic center), the gastronomic tradition (typical products such as Cocconato Robiola, the many gourmet restaurants in and around the town), and the wine, with a selection of wineries that team up in the local Consortium and open the doors of the event to other Piedmontese wineries.
“Walking the Village”,
new initiative between wine and culture
The 2025 edition of Cocco…Wine enriches its program by inviting the general public to a special event, to alternate with the many tastings along the Via del Gusto on Via Roma.
“Camminare il Borgo” is an initiative designed to promote and raise awareness of Cocconato d’Asti through a guided walk through the heart of the historic center, in the upper part.
A journey that allows you to discover, step by step, the architectural, cultural, and landscape heritage of the upper part of one of Piedmont’s most charming villages.
Located in the Lower Monferrato area and also known as the “Riviera del Monferrato” for its mild climate, Cocconato has been listed among “The Most Beautiful Villages in Italy” and awarded the Italian Touring Club’s Orange Flag. The village retains numerous traces of its past, from its Roman origins to the Middle Ages, when the Radicati Counts made it an important fortified center with autonomy.
Along the way, you’ll admire historic buildings, Gothic porticoes, churches, and panoramic views, all within a perfectly preserved urban setting. The tour takes place entirely in the pedestrian center and offers a deeper understanding of the town’s history and identity, with references to its agricultural and food and wine traditions.
“Camminare il Borgo” is an experience accessible to all, designed to combine culture, discovery, and appreciation of the area. Event days and times: always meet in Piazza Statuto.

The Cocconato Consortium, Monferrato Riviera
Most of the wineries listed above are members of the local Consortium, founded a few years ago to promote wineries in the Cocconato d’Asti (AT) area and artisans of taste who showcase typical local products. This ambitious project aims to unite and further enhance the potential of Cocconato, its terroir, and its historic vocation for fine dining.
THE WINE ISLANDS: Sardinian wines, heroic wines, and Alta Langa
The Wine Islands represent a tradition of Coconut…Wine.
They were designed to compare them with wines from other regions and enrich the offering for wine enthusiasts who have always appreciated this formula.
The 2025 Wine Islands have three themes: the wines of Sardinia, heroic wines, and the Alta Langa.
A special wine shop will present a selection of Sardinian wines: the aim is to promote the region’s viticulture as a whole, documenting the richness of its varietals and its different production areas.
The focus on heroic wines will showcase viticulture that thrives in rugged terrain, mountainous regions, or challenging orographic conditions. Where vineyard work requires extraordinary effort and dedication.
A final themed island will be dedicated to the Alta Langa, a reference denomination for the history and current status of Piedmontese sparkling wine, representing various production entities that interpret the classic method in an excellent hilly setting.
