i vini della denominazione protagonisti nelle grandi città italiane.

Il racconto del Roero in giro per l’Italia ha inizio: il Consorzio Tutela Roero lancia un tour itinerante alla scoperta della denominazione sui più importanti scenari del vino tricolore. Un’iniziativa nata dal desiderio di valorizzare i vini di questo splendido territorio, la loro storia e le persone che stanno dietro a questa produzione, tra le più sorprendenti del panorama enologico tricolore, all’interno di incontri esclusivi in alcune delle principali città italiane.

Un’occasione unica per scoprire la versatilità della denominazione, profondamente salda nelle proprie radici ma al tempo stesso in continua evoluzione, che valorizza al meglio due dei vitigni autoctoni più identitari della regione. Sono infatti il Nebbiolo e l’Arneis i due ambasciatori di questo territorio, un’eccellenza del vino italiano che conta oltre 1345 ettari vitati in 19 comuni incastonati tra Langhe e Monferrato, nel cuore delle colline del vino. Il tutto per una produzione che supera gli 8 milioni di bottiglie, il 60% destinato ai mercati esteri.

“I vini del Roero sono espressione di autenticità, passione ed eccellenza – sottolinea Massimo Damonte, Presidente del Consorzio Tutela Roero – eppure, molto spesso, il nostro territorio e la nostra storia restano ancora sconosciuti al grande pubblico italiano. Questo tour ha proprio l’obiettivo di portare, in una serie di tappe lungo lo Stivale, a conoscenza la ricchezza e la versatilità dei nostri vini, capaci di coniugare un’identità forte e riconoscibile e una piacevolezza di gusto, in grado di parlare a tutti. Sarà anche interessante vedere come i nostri vini si sposano alla perfezione con le cucine di altre regioni, con combinazioni talvolta sorprendenti”.

Un percorso di valorizzazione enologica e territoriale che non poteva non iniziare da Roma: la Capitale rappresenta infatti il palcoscenico ideale per dare il via al calendario di eventi che da maggio si concluderà in autunno. Napoli, Milano e Bologna: queste le località che ospiteranno i produttori del Consorzio in una serie di eventi esclusivi. Dopo la Capitale, è in programma per giugno l’incontro nel capoluogo partenopeo, per mettere in luce i vini della DOCG nella città punto di riferimento per il settore enologico del centro-sud Italia. Nella stagione autunnale sarà invece la volta di Milano, una delle grandi vetrine del vino italiano a livello internazionale e quindi di Bologna, con le sue grandi eccellenze e piatti territoriali che flirteranno alla perfezione con i vini roerini.

In questo tour si inseriranno iniziative e attività che permettono l’incontro tra la denominazione e il pubblico di appassionati e occasioni di networking per gli addetti ai lavori. Il 2025 ha già dato prova di grande vitalità delle cantine con il successo di “Piacere Roero”, l’iniziativa realizzata in collaborazione con i locali del circuito Mangébin per raccontare la denominazione attraverso il legame con la tradizione culinaria piemontese. Dall’8 al 29 maggio, infatti, le cantine del Consorzio sono state protagoniste di degustazioni e cene d’autore all’interno delle enoteche e dei ristoranti di Torino e provincia che hanno dato la possibilità di approfondire ogni vino attraverso il racconto dei produttori e l’abbinamento con i grandi classici della tradizione.

Saturday 21 June the event dedicated to the lively native Euganean bubbles returns, with the preview presentation of the new version on the lees.

On Saturday 21 June , from 4pm to 10pm, Serprino dei Colli Euganei will celebrate the beginning of summer at the Abbazia di Praglia (Teolo, PD) with the second edition of “Vulcanico Serprino” . The great tasting of Serprino dei Colli Euganei will be hosted in the hall of the conference centre of one of the symbolic places of the Padua area, full of religious and wine history. Twenty-five companies will be present with their stands, which will offer visitors a total of more than forty interpretations of Serprino for tasting, offering a wide panorama of the typical Euganean bubbles in the semi-sparkling and sparkling types , as well as in the experimental version Sui Lieviti , recently approved by the Assembly of Members of the Consortium for the Protection of Colli Euganei Wines and in the process of being introduced into the production regulations. There will be a refreshment point for the public and masterclasses dedicated to this volcanic, distinctive and lively wine will be organised, as well as cooking shows based on the pairing of Serprino with summer dishes based on some of the Euganean agricultural and food excellences, such as melon and Veneto Berico-Euganeo ham .

Serprino dei Colli Euganei is the only native wine with a controlled designation of origin in Veneto specializing in the sparkling type. This product is able to be transversal to all consumer groups thanks to its bubbles and notes of apple, pear, peach, which make it ideal both for an aperitif and for a summer dinner. Obtained from the grape of the same name, Serprino is one of the riches of the biodiversity of the Euganean Hills, protected as a Regional Park and recently recognized as a UNESCO MAB Biosphere Reserve , and represents one of the souls of the savoir faire of local winemakers, who over the centuries have perfected the art of producing fine and persistent, versatile sparkling wines, characterized by very fine bubbles.

Access to “Vulcanico Serprino” is free. Tastings are available at the producers’ stands upon purchase of the tasting kit, available at the entrance.

Vulcanico Serprino is organized by the Consorzio Tutela Vini Colli Euganei , as part of the initiatives foreseen by the strategic plan to launch Serprino dei Colli Euganei.

LA La Farra winery, which presents the series of events “Dialogues at Col Brià”. In particular on June 6 with “Far-si’ landscape: poems, colours, images in the vineyard”, on June 14 with “The Landscape Inspires Music”, on June 21 with “Summer Solstice on the UNESCO Hills”.

In the magnificent territory of Farra di Soligo, in the heart of the UNESCO hills of Conegliano Valdobbiadene, La Farra is more than a winery, it is a place where time slows down and tradition meets hospitality. Founded in 1997 by the Adamaria brothers, Innocente and Guido Nardi , the company masterfully produces and transforms its grapes through the techniques of modern oenology, giving life to wines that stand out for their unparalleled quality and elegance. A tribute to the territory where each bottle tells the story of this land and the identity of its community, guardian of an authentic know-how that comes from generations of winemakers who have worked these hills with passion and dedication.

La Farra is also an invitation to experience the landscape, to discover in the glass the soul and culture of those who live and cultivate them. In addition to wine production, La Farra considers hospitality essential, a value that completes and crowns the production cycle of the vine.

Belvedere La Farra, in Col Brià , a farmhouse immersed in the company’s heroic vineyards, represents the heart of hospitality and wine tourism. It is a place of meeting and participation, created to share the beauty of the territory and the love for the culture of wine. Here, among enchanting landscapes and unforgettable tastings, nature and sharing are celebrated thanks to experiences that have the flavor of family.

With this in mind, in June 2025 , the Belvedere will host the series of events “ Dialogues at Col Brià ”, an opportunity to immerse yourself in the wonders of the landscape through music, walks, insights and tastings.

On June 6 , the event “ Far-si’ landscape: poems, colors, images in the vineyard ” will be led by coordinators Rosanna Mutton and Nerella Barazzuol as well as Silvia Macor (an artist and visual philosopher who explores the boundary between language, sound and image through installations, collages, woodcuts and artist’s books). The program includes the “views of the landscape” route, a walk led by Naturalmente Guide through the hills of Farra di Soligo, arriving at 6:00 pm at the Belvedere La Farra in Col Bria’. The experience then develops into a poetry competition, with the composition and declamation of texts inspired by the surrounding landscape, reserved for young participants aged between 18 and 35. The public present will have an active role, voting for their favorite works and determining the winners, who will receive book vouchers at the Tralerighe bookshop in Conegliano. At the same time, an image creation workshop will take place, again with participants aged between 18 and 35, where the suggestions of the landscape and the verses of the recited poems will take on a graphic-pictorial form.

In case of bad weather, the event will still be held in the cellar.

Reservations are required by writing to info@lafarra.it.

On June 14 , the event “ Il Paesaggio Ispira Musica ” will feature the duo Frammenti . Musicians Francesco Da Ros and Antonio Cettolin will perform unreleased music , between roots and future, inspired by and composed for the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Hills, where they were born and raised. With sounds recorded at Col Brià and words inspired by the future of these places, they will try to express their point of view on the relationship between the province, tourism, nature and work. The event includes a walk to reach the Belvedere La Farra, “views of the landscape” of the Farra di Soligo hills, led by Naturalmente Guide, followed by a talk show hosted by Tommaso Antiga, in a meeting between art and territory, with tasting of local products, for an authentic experience between nature and culture.

In case of bad weather, the event will be postponed to Sunday, June 15. Reservations are required by writing to info@lafarra.it.

On June 21 , La Farra will host the FAI Giovani Treviso , for the “ Summer Solstice on the UNESCO Hills ”, exploring together the link between landscape, history, viticulture and sustainability. After welcoming the participants at the La Farra winery, the program includes a guided tour of the winery led by Innocente Nardi, followed by the “views of a landscape to protect” route, a short walk to reach the Belvedere La Farra in Col Brià led by Arch. Enrico De Mori. The evening will end with a tasting of a selection of Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore La Farra.

Reservations are mandatory , with limited places and registrations must be made directly on the FAI bookings website. For information write to treviso@faigiovani.fondoambiente.it.

La Farra invites all those who wish to learn more about the culture of the territory to participate in these meetings, where each glass tells the story of the place and its community.
