“ It confirms itself as an important edition with many new features – comments Teseo Geri -. After the success of Vini Migranti 2025 and the last edition of VINI BAGNANTI, this year we have also involved winemakers who come from abroad. There will be many Italian companies from Piedmont to Sicily and obviously many Tuscan companies, from the well-known ones to those that will certainly be a pleasant discovery.

Vini Bagnanti is an invitation to slow down, observe, taste, listen. It is a festival that speaks of peasant culture, relationships and the future”.

Riva degli Etruschi, with over 60 years of history, is an ecosystem of values. Immersed in 35 hectares of parkland, with 8,000 trees and shrubs and with over 400 accommodations, five restaurants, an organic farm and sustainable wine production , it is a point of reference for Tuscan hospitality and an active center of gastronomic and environmental culture, in close collaboration with the University of Florence, the University of Gastronomic Sciences of Pollenzo and Slow Food.

Among the excellent products produced internally are ancient vegetables and grains, the Violet Artichoke of Val di Cornia, a Slow Food presidium, the organic EVO oil of Tenuta Biliotto, the white and red “Marittimo” wines produced in collaboration with Michele Satta, one of the most important winemakers of Bolgheri, and the spirits created with Nannoni Grappe.

With its 400 accommodations including rooms, villas and residences immersed in nature, it is the ideal destination for those traveling alone or in couples, for families or groups of friends.

AMONG THE HILLS OF MONFERRATO: SUMMER TOLD IN A GLASS.

With the arrival of summer, Monferrato reveals its soul. The hills light up with golden light, the streets are filled with curious travellers, the scents of budding vines mix with the warm air. In this Piedmontese land, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, every place is a discovery and every glass is transformed into an emotion. Monferrato is not visited: it is lived, listened to, and savored slowly.

” In Monferrato, wine is not just a product of excellence: it is an integral part of our cultural landscape, of people’s daily lives, of the collective memory and of the identity of an entire community ” – says Vitaliano Maccario , president of the Barbera d’Asti e Vini del Monferrato Consortium. ” Each bottle contains the patient work of our winemakers, the nuances of the territory and the deep vocation for quality. And in the summer, when the territory generously opens up to those who visit it, all this becomes even more tangible: the vineyards are transformed into scenarios of beauty, the cellars into places of meeting and storytelling, the glasses into occasions of connection between people and territories. Wine tourism is not only an opportunity to make the wines of our denominations known, but a way to convey emotions, roots, authenticity. Tasting a Monferrato wine means getting in tune with a centuries-old history made of passion, respect for the land and the pleasure of being together. It is a philosophy of well-being that encompasses all the values of our territory .”

In this unique setting, the Barbera d’Asti e Vini del Monferrato Consortium invites you to embark on a sensory journey through vineyards, cellars, flavors and stories. Thirteen denominations, including DOCG and DOC, make up the mosaic of excellence that tell the story of the variety and richness of this territory; keys to a world made of authenticity, peasant traditions, and sincere hospitality.

Barbera d’Asti DOCG , for example, is perfect to accompany an outdoor lunch after a walk among the rows. Its fresh and lively character enhances traditional summer dishes – from raw meat salads to omelettes with wild herbs – and lends itself wonderfully to a tasting at sunset, in one of the many wineries that open their doors for picnics among the vineyards, accompanied by live music and local products.

Grignolino d’Asti doc , with its elegant sip and delicate tannins, is the ideal companion for hot days, when you are looking for lightness without sacrificing personality. This wine, with an ancient history, becomes a perfect travel companion during visits to the villages of Asti, paired with artisanal cured meats, fresh toma cheeses and freshly baked focaccia in shaded courtyards where time seems to have stopped.

Cortese dell’Alto Monferrato DOC, with its intense aroma and smooth taste, is the absolute protagonist of festive moments. Light straw-yellow in color, sometimes with greenish reflections, it has a light and persistent aroma with floral and fresh fruit notes; the taste is dry, rightly acidic, with a slightly bitter aftertaste harmonized by a good flavor, it is the perfect complement to a splendid day among the hills of Alto Monferrato or in the historic estates that dot the Belbo valley. Often served with traditional desserts, fresh fruit or blue cheeses to be enjoyed during a late breakfast or a relaxed snack in the shade of a pergola, overlooking the rows.

Terre Alfieri DOCG Arneis , on the other hand, stands out for its elegance and versatility. Fresh and floral, it finds its maximum expression during the evening events that animate the squares and courtyards of the Asti hills: gourmet dinners under the stars, show cooking and themed tastings that combine contemporary cuisine and wines of character, often accompanied by artistic performances and moments of theatrical narration.

Alongside the more well-known denominations, Monferrato preserves a unique winemaking heritage, made up of native vines that surprise with their originality and depth. The rare and highly fragrant Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato DOCG offers an unforgettable experience to those who taste it in family-run cellars, where generations of winemakers have dedicated themselves to producing unique and distinctive wines of the area. It pairs splendidly with spicy dishes or aged cheeses, served during guided tastings in the small natural amphitheatres of the area.

Freisa d’Asti DOC , with its rustic but elegant character, is perfect to accompany evening barbecues in farmhouses , among laughter, music and conviviality. Malvasia di Castelnuovo Don Bosco DOC , sweet and aromatic, finds its golden opportunity during Sunday events in the vineyard parks, designed for families and small excursions, where children play on the grass and adults are enchanted by a glass.

Wine tourism here is not just a proposal: it is a promise. Every trip to Monferrato is an opportunity to stop, breathe, listen to the silence of the vineyards and the stories of those who live those vineyards every day. Between one glass and another, between a village and a panoramic terrace, you find yourself closer to something profound: the beauty of simplicity, the taste of waiting, the gentle strength of the earth.

All set in the Capital for Alta Langa Roma, the B2B event dedicated to the High Piedmontese Bubbles. The appointment is for Monday 16 June 2025 , from 10.30 to 17.30 , at the Spazio Field in Palazzo Brancaccio – with entrance from via Merulana 248 .

A unique opportunity to present the vintages currently on the market of Alta Langa DOCG (classic method, all vintage, i.e. with the indication of the harvest on the label) through the interpretation of each company, but also to make the territory of origin, unique and extraordinary, increasingly better known ”.

During the day, there will be masterclasses by invitation led by Marco Reitano , sommelier at the restaurant La Pergola *** (Rome Cavalieri – The Waldorf Astoria).

“After the success of the first edition – comments Marco Reitano – Alta Langa DOCG returns to Rome and brings with it its bubbles of character, an authentic expression of the high Piedmontese hillsides close to the Ligurian Apennines. The second edition confirms the growing interest of the Capital for this classic method, increasingly present on the wine lists of fine dining and among the preferences of an attentive and demanding public. An event that consolidates the bond between Rome and one of the most promising denominations of the high-quality Italian sparkling wine scene”.

Technical partners of the event will also be La Tradizione and Frantoio Gallotti.

Alta Langa DOCG meets Rome: ten venues as protagonists

These days, ten renowned Roman restaurants are the protagonists of a photo shoot that brings the allure of Alta Langa DOCG to the Eternal City. Alta Langa DOCG has met Roman restaurants to tell many stories of passion and mastery, from the dining room to the heart of the kitchens, in a photographic journey that celebrates the flavors and some of the protagonists of the Roman gastronomic scene. The shots are published on the Consortium’s social channels, underlining, through the face of Roman fine dining, the contemporary spirit of Alte Bollicine Piemontesi. The restaurants involved: Mirabelle , Follie del Villa Agrippina a Gran Meliá Hotel, L’Arcangelo, Armando al Pantheon, Sushisen, Romané di Stefano Callegari, Baccano, Idylio by Apreda del The Pantheon Iconic Rome Hotel, Ai Piani, Osteria Chiari.

“ONDE” debuts: an installation that is a symbol of the territory

During the day, “ONDE” will make its official debut: a new project by the Alta Langa Consortium, designed to tell the story of the area of origin in an innovative way.

The installation faithfully reproduces the contour lines of the Alta Langa DOCG area through a composition of thin layers of wood, superimposed and painted in the distinctive yellow-gold shade. Characterized by a modern and recognizable design, the model is designed to become an iconic element of the Consortium’s events , offering geographical and narrative information on the extraordinary characteristics of the territory of origin. A sea of hills that bears the memory of an ancient marine basin and which today hosts the vineyards for the production of the Piedmontese classic method par excellence.

The cocktail: “Alta Langa Passion”

During the event, you will be able to taste a special cocktail created for the occasion by Giacomo Colamarino, bar manager of Ai Piani Sottobanco: it is called Alta Langa Passion and combines Alta Langa DOCG with passion fruit syrup, lime juice, vodka, and a lime garnish.

“ Alta Langa DOCG reveals itself as an Italian excellence capable of surprising even in mixing: with its elegant character and structure, it was the perfect inspiration to create an exclusive cocktail, designed to celebrate the meeting between Piedmont and Rome ” comments Colamarino.

Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th October in Piana Rotaliana the fourth edition of the event that promotes the comparison between the great wine territories.
The Piana Rotaliana Königsberg Tourist Consortium presents the new edition of Incontri Rotaliani , the wine and cultural event that promotes dialogue between renowned wine-growing territories through wine talks, tasting tables and tastings. The event, sponsored by the three DOC municipalities, is scheduled for Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 October 2025 in the towns of Mezzolombardo , Mezzocorona and San Michele all’Adige (Trento) and, after Burgundy, Rioja and Etna, this year it is characterized by the comparison between the native Teroldego Rotaliano and the Syrahs of the regions of Cortona (Arezzo) and Côte Rôtie , in the Rhone Valley.

The program will be divided into two days packed with events. The morning of Saturday, October 25th will be dedicated to a wine talk featuring illustrious figures from the world of wine and viticulture. In the afternoon, there will be a walk around tasting with the producers participating in the initiative: an opportunity for the public to meet the winemakers directly and taste their labels. Sunday, October 26th will be dedicated to wine labs : thematic meetings open to all, dedicated not only to wine but also to spirits and food and wine, with in-depth discussions and tastings led by experts and professionals in the sector.

Now in its fourth edition , the event was born from the shared desire of public and private entities to promote the Piana Rotaliana Könisberg as a territory of excellence for wine production and from the desire for comparison and openness with world-famous wine-growing areas. Embraced by mountains and crossed by the Adige and Noce rivers, the Campo Rotaliano has its roots in history as an Austrian fiefdom dedicated to the production of red wine, today known for its interpretations of Teroldego . In this context, the concept of terroir is enriched by a strong human component: the knowledge of the winemakers, the bond with the land, the respect for traditions and the sharing of the community’s identity values.
