Harrykuminciamu: wine Sicily starts again united

Harrykuminciamu: wine Sicily restarts united. In Catania, March 28, a solidarity tasting to benefit businesses affected by Cyclone Harry

Faced with the wounds left by Cyclone Harry, the Sicilian wine world responds with a choral gesture of responsibility and closeness. Between last January 19 and 23, the violent phenomenon that hit the Mediterranean – among the most intense in the last 25 years for the Sicilian coast – brought to its knees numerous activities in the restaurant and hospitality industry, leaving deep marks not only in the structures, but also in the economic and human fabric of the territory.

From this awareness was born Harrykuminciamu, a symbol of restart and community. On the initiative of Assovini Sicilia, a large solidarity tasting open to the public comes to life, scheduled for Saturday, March 28, in the prestigious setting of the Benedictine Monastery of San Nicolò l’Arena, in Catania, from 4 p.m. until 10 p.m.

Harrykuminciamu, the charity event.

The event is intended to be more than a fundraiser: it is a collective embrace and a concrete sign of unity among sectors that share identity, history and perspectives. The wine sector, a natural partner of restaurants, wine shops and accommodations, mobilizes to support a world closely connected to its own, recognizing its cultural and economic value.

Harrykuminciamu will therefore be a time of sharing and support. Alongside the wineries’ tasting counters, there will be stands of gastronomic specialties by theUnione Regionale Cuochi Siciliani.The newspaper La Sicilia is a media partner of the event.

The event, which is open to the public while seats last, will have an entrance fee that includes a drink: all proceeds will be donated to restaurant and hospitality entrepreneurs affected by the emergency.

Every organizational aspect-from the press office to the operational management of the stalls-will be carried out in the spirit of solidarity, as will the contribution of the vendors who have chosen to join the initiative free of charge.

Harrykuminciamu puts community at the center, inviting businesses and professionals to network, and demonstrates how wine, even before it is a product, represents shared culture and social responsibility.
