Gradis’ciutta winery, which presents “30 Under 35”, the competition for young artists announced within the project “Ars Sine Finibus”, the new cross-border artistic project that unites Italy and Slovenia, with the aim of transforming the vineyards of Collio and Brda into an open-air museum.

Ars Sine Finibus is the new cross-border art project that unites Italy and Slovenia, born in collaboration between Galleria MAG of Como, Studio Giorgio Celiberti of Udine and the wineries Gradis’ciutta of San Floriano (GO) and Sinefinis Doo, of Kojsko (SLO) want to transform the vineyards of Collio and Brda into an open-air museum. The initiative aims to promote sustainable art through installations and sculptures made with recycled materials, celebrating the union between nature and culture.

A key element of the project is the 30 Under 35 competition, which will involve 30 young emerging artists , divided into mixed Italian-Slovenian couples. Participants will have the opportunity to create unique works that will be exhibited in the vineyards and will be freely accessible to the public. The aim is not only to enhance emerging creativity, but also to strengthen cultural dialogue between the two countries, stimulating a new generation of artists with an authentically European vision.

Interested artists , aged between 18 and 35 and resident in Italy or Slovenia, can apply by following the instructions available on the official website. The deadline for applications is set for April 6, 2025.

The project is funded by the European Union under the Small Project Fund GO! 2025 of the Interreg VI-A Italy-Slovenia 2021-2027 Programme and managed by GECT GO.

The official debut at Vinitaly. The eco-friendly labels designed by Advision are made by Fedrigoni in self-adhesive paper obtained from pure cellulose with waste material.

Cantine di Verona presents G.Low , a new line of low-alcohol wines designed for conscious and carefree consumption. It is composed of two references: the Bianco , from Garganega and Trebbiano grapes, and the Rosato , from Corvina and Merlot, with 8° alcohol. The alcohol content is obtained naturally thanks to early harvesting and controlled fermentations , preserving the organoleptic profile of the grapes, without resorting to dealcoholization, a process that Cantine di Verona considers unsustainable and which can sometimes negatively affect the sensory characteristics of the product.

With this project, Cantine di Verona consolidates its commitment to a more sustainable future, adopting a circular approach to production: processing waste is in fact reused in a virtuous upcycling cycle to create eco-friendly packaging solutions . The new labels are made with Re-Play Tintoretto Gesso , a FSC™ certified chlorine-free (ECF) pure cellulose self-adhesive paper, which through the integration of 15% recycled glassine transforms a waste material into a valuable resource, reducing energy consumption and supporting a virtuous model of circular economy. Re-Play Tintoretto Gesso represents the first example of upcycling in the self-adhesive sector in a closed loop recycling system. The collaboration between Cantine di Verona and Fedrigoni began in 2024 with the creation of this pilot project. “ G.Low is much more than a wine: it is an invitation to slow down and savor the moment with awareness – says Luigi Turco , President of Cantine di Verona –. In the name given to the range, which comes from the union of “green” and “low”, two key concepts capable of representing the soul of this product, we wanted to recall this idea of ​​sustainability, of a carefree but concrete approach and of a slow lifestyle, which accompanies every glass and every meeting”. ​ ​The initiative combines the intrinsic lightness of the product with the sustainability of the packaging – designed by the branding and design agency Advision – which interprets the concept of sustainability and conviviality in a contemporary way. The labels are characterized by the use of vibrant and extremely bright colors, in shades of acid green and light blue and by metallic details in gold, as well as a particular thermochromic paint that reacts to temperature changes, alerting when the wine is ready to be served and making the consumer experience even more optimal. An innovative design that celebrates the lightness and luminous glow of wine, as the name itself suggests, confirming Cantine di Verona’s commitment to a more responsible future. ​With a price of 6 euros, the two wines will officially debut at Vinitaly and will be available in the 10 wine shops of the Verona group and on the Northern European market starting in April .

Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th April in Monforte d’Alba Online pre-sale of tickets is open! The Masterclass programme Valtellina with its Nebbiolo wines, special guest of the event.

As announced, “I grandi terroir del Barolo” is back, an initiative created by Go Wine, now in its sixteenth edition and scheduled for Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 April in Monforte d’Alba, one of the most important centers of the Langa del Barolo.

The event will take place in the elegant rooms of Palazzo Martinengo – Moda Venue (Via Cavour, 10), in the historic centre of the town.

The event has further grown in recent editions, maintaining intact the character that inspired its birth: an extraordinary opportunity to learn more about Barolo and its territory, with the distinct geographical mentions that make up the production area at its core.

Valuing with tasting cellars that produce Barolo through distinct labels that tell different sites and parts of the territory. Exalting the soul and peculiarity of Nebbiolo, interpreting the diversity as a wealth that invites to better understand the land and the greatness of the denomination.

The program includes tasting tables, meetings with the wineries, exclusive masterclasses and visits to the cellar: a formula that invites you to a delicious weekend in the Langa of Barolo to deepen your knowledge “in the field” of the new vintage of one of the greatest wines in the world.

The Consortium for the Protection of Valtellina Wines is a special guest at the event

The Consorzio di Tutela dei Vini di Valtellina will be present at the event to tell about terroir and wines, with a special focus on its sub-zones that characterize a unique territory.

They like to call it the “Nebbiolo of the Alps”, it represents a territory with a great wine culture, it shares the presence of Nebbiolo with the Langhe

Its landscape is unique, with the many dry stone walls that can be seen along the valley and which make it the largest terraced wine-growing area in Italy.

As the Consortium likes to define it … “wine in Valtellina is the result of the continuous dialogue between the Alps, the energy of the sun, the breeze of Lake Como and the agricultural activity among the terraces”.

We will talk about all this and… taste it on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th April.

Two masterclasses will be dedicated to the comparison between Barolo and Valtellina, while a tasting table will present a selection of Valtellina wines from different cellars in the area.

Auf der Düsseldorfer Messe finden Meisterkurse und Walk Around Tastings statt, um die Exzellenz umbrischer Weine zu entdecken. Wie im letzten Jahr ist Promocamera – Handelskammer Umbrien – neben den Mitgliedsunternehmen von Umbria Top ein besonderer Aussteller.

Umbria Top steht bei der ProWein 2025 , die vom 16. bis 18. März in Düsseldorf stattfindet, wieder im Vordergrund, und zwar mit zwei Schlüsselveranstaltungen, die in Zusammenarbeit mit ICE – einer Agentur für die Werbung im Ausland und die Internationalisierung italienischer Unternehmen – organisiert werden. Mit der Genossenschaft umbrischer Weingüter werden sechs hervorragende Unternehmen anwesend sein: Chiorri, Berioli, Fattoria Le Poggette, Moretti Omero, Blasi Cantina und Tudernum , die bereit sind, das Gebiet und die Qualität der regionalen Weinproduktion zu vertreten. „ Die Teilnahme an der ProWein ist für uns immer eine Chance, internationale Sichtbarkeit zu erlangen“, betont der Präsident von Umbria Top Massimo Sepiacci , „ insbesondere für Unternehmen, die historisch gesehen besondere Vertriebskanäle in Deutschland hatten.“ Umbrien verfügt über ein außergewöhnliches Weinerbe, das es verdient, erzählt und gefördert zu werden. Mit der Meisterklasse und dem Walk Around Tasting möchten wir Fachleuten der Branche ein einzigartiges und authentisches Erlebnis bieten, um unser Land und unsere Weine zu entdecken .“ Am Sonntag, den 16. März, findet um 12 Uhr im ICE-Bereich in Pavillon 15, Stand F68, die Meisterklasse mit dem Titel „ Umbrien – Das verborgene Juwel “ statt. Gastgeber der Veranstaltung ist der Meininger-Sommelier Sebastian Bordthäuser: eine einmalige Gelegenheit, die hervorragende Weinherstellung der Region anhand einer Auswahl repräsentativer Weine aus Umbrien zu entdecken. Die Masterclass ist für maximal 40 Teilnehmer geöffnet und Sie können sich über den folgenden Link anmelden: https://www.ice.it/en/markets/germany/meet-italy-prowein-2025 . Unmittelbar im Anschluss an die Meisterklasse bietet Umbria Top von 13:00 bis 14:00 Uhr ein exklusives Walk Around Tasting unter der Leitung von Georgia Panagopoulou an, die in der Weinwelt als wine.gini bekannt ist. Die Tour findet am Stand von Umbria Top statt und ist ein intensives Erlebnis für eine ausgewählte Gruppe von 15 Teilnehmern, die die Möglichkeit haben, zwei repräsentative Rebsorten der historischen regionalen Produktion zu verkosten: Grechetto und Sagrantino mit den Bezeichnungen Umbria IGT und Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG. Dies steht im Einklang mit dem Thema „Wurzeln“ für 2025, das die Historizität der umbrischen Weinbautradition in Verbindung mit der Modernität der Interpretationen von Stilen und Rebsorten hervorhebt.

Wie im letzten Jahr wird es neben den Mitgliedsunternehmen von Umbria Top, Promocamera – Handelskammer Umbrien , einen besonderen Aussteller geben: Es werden die Gewinner des regionalen Weinwettbewerbs 2025 „L‘Umbria del Vino“ vorgestellt. Die Repräsentativität der auf der ProWein vertretenen umbrischen Weine wird daher durch eine Präsentation der Gewinnermarken erweitert, darunter Weiß-, Rotweine, Roséweine, Qualitätsschaumweine und Dessertweine. Die Anwesenheit von Promocamera eröffnet in diesem Jahr auch ein Kooperationsprogramm, das den Sektor mit Werbeaktivitäten für Qualitätsweine unterstützt.

Umbria Top bestätigt damit sein Engagement für die internationale Förderung hervorragender umbrischer Weine: nächster Termin: Vinitaly 2025.
