A day in which vintners open their doors, tell their stories, confront each other and share their vision of viticulture: artisanal, sustainable, deeply linked to the land.

In Calabria, the event will be hosted by Casa Comerci in the hills of Nicotera (VV)

In Calabria, the event will be hosted by Casa Comerci, where the regional FIVI Delegation has chosen to celebrate the value of independence, identity and community among the hills of Nicotera, welcoming those who wish to know not only the wines, but to meet the faces and hands that make them possible: winemakers who carry forward every day an idea of independence, quality and truth. “Each wine tells not only a territory, but the courageous choice of those who decide to remain faithful to their land. The Saturday of the Winemaker is not just a celebration,” says Raffaella, FIVI Calabria Delegate, “but represents the moment when independent winemakers come together to share the most authentic sense of their work, made up of daily dedication, respect for nature and a deep connection with their roots.”
