Mansué (TV), Sunday 25 May from 10:00 to 18:00

Tenute Tomasella is ready to welcome wine enthusiasts, families and the curious for the highly anticipated event Cantine Aperte , which will be held on Sunday 25 May from 10:00 to 18:00 . With the warm weather, the desire for conviviality and outdoor life returns and Cantine Aperte is back, the event now in its thirty-second edition, promoted by the Movimento Turismo del Vino that since 1993 has accompanied wine tourists and wine lovers to discover the territories and wines that make Italy unique.

A whole day immersed in beauty, from the vineyards, to discover the authentic flavors and excellence of the territory. Located in Mansué, in the province of Treviso, Tenute Tomasella extends over 50 hectares of vineyards, 10 in Friuli and 40 in Veneto, between the DOC Friuli and the Prosecco DOC Treviso, embodying a perfect balance between two border territories.

For over fifty years, the Tomasella family has made viticulture an art based on respect for natural rhythms and deep listening to what the earth is able to offer, a place where viticulture follows the rhythm of nature. The company has started the process of conversion to organic farming, which will be completed by 2026. In line with this sustainable vision, it has invested in the creation of a beekeeping-arboreal oasis and in the innovative hybrid robot Icaro X4 , which uses UV-C rays to protect the vines from the main pathogens, reducing the use of pesticides.

Tenute Tomasella is much more than a winery, it is a place to live. The villa , next to the cellar that hosts the headquarters, is surrounded by a beautiful park where, on the occasion of Cantine Aperte, activities and games will be developed also for the little ones . The program of the day also includes visits to the cellar suitable for different needs. Right in the cellar, the bond with the land will become the spokesperson of stories of tradition and passion that give life to the best winemaking expression of a border territory. Each Tenute Tomasella wine reveals a strong identity, in which the characteristics of these territories are exalted in their uniqueness.

The “Cantine Aperte” program of Tenute Tomasella is full of engaging experiences: guided tours of the cellar with tastings, tours of the vineyards on board the ape car or by bicycle , to discover the territory in an authentic and fun way. With the purchase of a glass it will be possible to taste the company’s wines, served by a sommelier who will accompany the tasting with explanations and curiosities.

Numerous entertainments for adults and children :

• Games and workshops with The Art of the Game;
• Face painting for the little ones;

Company profile breve The history of Tenute Tomasella began in 1965 , when Luigi Tomasella founded the winery in Mansué, in the province of Treviso. After more than thirty years of producing bulk wine, the company passed into the hands of his son Paolo, the current owner, who revolutionized production, leading the company to sell most of its wine in bottles in the 2000s. Since then, Tenute Tomasella has carried out a production focused on the search for the best qualitative expression of its production, with an approach that seeks to have the least impact possible, respecting nature and biodiversity. For this reason, in the vineyard the work is manual for all varieties, with the exception of Glera, with selection of the grapes. For this reason, in the vineyard the work is manual for all varieties, with the exception of Glera, with selection of the grapes in the field and thinning before the harvest. Thanks, therefore, to a sustainable farming style in which the company has believed since the beginning, from the 2017 harvest Tenute Tomasella has received the SQNPI certification (National Quality System of Integrated Production), the certification that enhances agricultural production, obtained in compliance with the regional specifications of integrated production, that is, made with cultivation processes that respect the environment and human health. Furthermore, since 2021 , the company has started the process of conversion to organic , and by 2026, the entire company will be completely converted.

From 18 to 20 May, three days of study dedicated to the food and wine and cultural excellence of Trentino.

Following the assignment of the 10th Territory Award promoted by Vinarius – Associazione Enoteche Italiane , an in-depth trip is scheduled from 18 to 20 May that will take Vinarius members directly to the winning territory: Trentino . Last February, in fact, during a ceremony at the Senate of the Republic in Rome, the now historic award was conferred to the “ Montagne e Valli Trentine ”, a testimony to the important ability of this territory to combine high-quality wine production with a sustainable and environmentally friendly lifestyle model.

Vinarius wine merchants will therefore be able to discover and learn more about the territory thanks to a varied program developed in collaboration with the Consorzio Vini del Trentino , which is divided into three days dedicated to discovering the territory through its food and wine excellences and the beauty of the places. It begins on Sunday 18 with the arrival in Trento and a visit to the Consorzio Vini del Trentino and the Istituto Tutela Grappa, accompanied by a tasting of grappa and local cheeses, followed by dinner in the hotel.

Monday 19th is all about wine: in the morning we visit Palazzo Roccabruna, home of the Provincial Wine Shop, for a guided tasting. After lunch in Mezzolombardo, the afternoon is dedicated to the Edmund Mach Foundation for a technical meeting and a visit with tasting. The day ends with a gala dinner at Locanda Margon and the “Montagne e Valli Trentine” awards ceremony.

Tuesday 20th is dedicated to oil and landscape: we start with a trek on the Sentiero dell’Olivo in Arco, followed by a tasting of DOP Garda Trentino oil and wines at the Cantina Agraria Riva del Garda. The final lunch is held at the Cantina Madonna delle Vittorie, before returning.

Reaching the milestone of its tenth edition, the Vinarius Territory Award has established itself as a prestigious recognition, established by Vinarius to identify and celebrate those Italian geographical areas that, thanks to the work of their communities, manage to combine the production of high-quality wines with respect for the environment, cultural identity and the promotion of wine tourism. During the trip , two awards will be given to local figures who have best promoted and highlighted the excellence of the territory.

“It is in the nature of Vinarius to be deeply rooted in the territories, and initiatives like this represent a concrete expression of that vocation. – says Andrea Terraneo , President of Vinarius – We wanted to offer our members a high-profile educational and cultural experience, capable of combining direct knowledge of food and wine excellence with an in-depth comparison with production realities of international importance. This itinerary certainly represents an added value to the delivery of the award to the Territory, always designed to recognize and enhance the virtuous link between production quality and territorial identity”.

“For us, welcoming Vinarius means not only celebrating an award, but above all offering a concrete and lived narration of our wine-growing territory – he declared   Albino Zenatti, President of the Consorzio Vini del Trentino –. This is a precious opportunity: wine shops are a fundamental link in the wine supply chain, true ambassadors of our work in the territory. Their story, their expertise and the direct relationship with the final consumer make each bottle a conscious experience. Allowing our guests to experience first-hand the places, people and values that give rise to our wines means investing in authentic and lasting promotion, capable of creating deep links between quality production and distribution”.

A new trip is planned for October for other Vinarius wine shops, and on this occasion two other personalities who contribute to the promotion of the Trentino region will be awarded. VINARIUS Vinarius is the Association of Italian Wine Shops and represents over 120 members (whose total turnover is close to 50 million euros) covering the entire national territory. The association, currently chaired by Andrea Terraneo, was founded in 1981 and has as its social purpose the promotion, promotion and protection of wine shops as commercial activities specialized in the proposal of quality wine.

Every two years Vinarius organizes and promotes the Vinarius Territory Award. Furthermore, it maintains important relations with the two major French counterpart associations. It periodically conducts surveys among its members to monitor trends, consumer demands, and market trends.

How Puglia is able to express its vocation for rosé wines in 52 different ways The story of the ONAV Tasters Monday 19 May, Trani.

“Rosati al Tramonto 2025” will be held on Monday 19 May 2025 , starting at 7:00 pm , an event organised by the ONAV BAT delegation (Barletta – Andria – Trani), in collaboration with Gabriele Renda of “Palazzo Filisio Hotel Regia Ristorante ”. With the suggestive view of the sunset over the sea, in the shadow of the majestic Cathedral of Trani, the evening will be entirely dedicated to a type of wine that deserves more attention and which has always been part of the Apulian identity.

Rosé wines are considered among the protagonists of aperitifs and meals in every season and the production of rosé wines in Italy has been constantly and significantly growing in recent years. In Puglia, a region historically dedicated to this production, in parallel with the DOC versions, the DOCG rosé labels are increasing. This means that the growth is not only quantitative, but also qualitative. The practice of bleeding, the removal of the must during the production of red wines to make rosé wines, has been abandoned almost everywhere in favor of a vinification with a brief contact with the skins. Rosé wines are now born already in the countryside, with the choice of vineyards that can provide the most suitable grapes and with slightly early harvests to preserve the necessary freshness.

For these reasons ONAV BAT has decided to organize the event that will be open to all interested with a ticket of € 20 (10 tasting tickets 2 food tickets). Entrance with mandatory reservation via the link: https://forms.gle/hHfq1S77pREAfEwX7

The exciting path of progressive growth of the BAT Delegation will be confirmed by the intervention of the National President of the Organization, Dr. Vito Intini , next June, on the occasion of the diploma delivery ceremony to the new tasters who are completing the 13th 1st level course.

The ONAV BAT training program was already enriched, this season, by an important seminar, divided into three lessons, on the Champagne region and one on Burgundy. In the near future, other interesting seminars are planned on some famous single-varietal wines, both national and international.
