Vini delle Coste

Italy and the sea: a strong and unbreakable bond because most regions possess at least one coastline. Yet, the “Vini delle Coste” are yet to be discovered, wines where the influence of the sea lends flavor and character and where the wealth of variety allows for a thousand expressions.

The event

To make them known, in Lucca, a splendid Tuscan city, on March 30 and 31, ” Vini delle Coste,” an event open to trade operators, journalists and enthusiasts, will be held. First and foremost, the protagonists will be wines from the Colline Lucchesi, Colline Pisane, Montecarlo and Candia, expressions of the provinces of Lucca, Pisa and Massa. But there will be no shortage of wines from many regions of Italy that share the sun and the scent of the sea.

Italy was envisioned as a bridge in the middle of the Mediterranean that gives unique wines. In the selection of wineries, from all over Italy, priority was given to those realities that follow the entire production cycle, from vineyard to bottle. In this way, the participation of subjects active in the field of social agriculture was favored, looking with interest at projects related to the recovery of land in marginal areas, examples of a heroic viticulture that gives not only fruits, but also stories to be discovered.

The Royal College of Lucca

The event will be held at the Royal College of Lucca, mentioned as early as the 6th century as a convent attached to the splendid church of San Frediano, still characterized by the facade where the 13th-century mosaic stands. Remodeled over the centuries, for more than two hundred years it has presented its present structure. Its history is intertwined with that of Elisa Bonaparte and then with that of Marie Louise of Bourbon. In its rooms winemakers will welcome the public to make their philosophy known.

Synergies

“Vini delle Coste” will tell many unique stories in an informal yet intimate setting. This is demonstrated by the choice of the poster, designed by Massimo Giacon, a cartoonist with to his credit collaborations with famous magazines such as Linus, Elle, Glamour, illustrator of campaigns for brands such as Absolut Vodka, Memphis, Swatch, designer of design objects for Alessi, author for Mondadori of the book “Amami” and much more. A perfect choice because she is world famous for Lucca Comics & Games, an international event dedicated to comics, with which there is a strong synergy. A synergy that also extends to the world of food and wine with the project Foodmetti – Artists of the tables, “festival within the festival” dedicated to the excellence of the world of comics and food and wine, directed by chef Cristiano Tomei, who at “Vini delle Coste” will present renewed his great table of thought “Condiments.”
