SUMMARY:Rome - Luca Maroni's Best Italian Wines 2026
DESCRIPTION:Luca Maroni’s Best Italian Wines 2026: Rome hosts the 25th edition of the event dedicated to Italian wine excellence\nFrom Feb. 20-22\, 2026\, Rome will once again become the capital of Italian wine with Luca Maroni’s I Migliori Vini Italiani\, a historic event celebrating its 25th edition in 2026. \nThe venue for the event is once again the Salone delle Fontane at EUR\, which will welcome winelovers\, industry professionals and the press for three days of tastings\, meetings and in-depth discussions dedicated to the best of national wine production. \nThe event in brief\nConceived and curated by Luca Maroni\, an internationally renowned sensory analyst\, together with Francesca Romana Maroni\, CEO of Sens Eventi\, the event represents one of the longest-running and most popular events on the Italian wine scene. The well-established format focuses on free and unlimited tastings\, allowing visitors to build their own tasting path without constraints\, following taste\, curiosity and personal sensibility.  \nThe tasting will feature hundreds of wineries from all regions of Italy\, including the islands\, selected for the sensory quality of their labels\, an expression of the country’s extraordinary wine biodiversity. \nWhat’s new in this edition\nNew in this edition of I Migliori Vini Italiani will be an in-depth look atdealcoholic wines \n\, which have been the subject of much talk in recent weeks on the occasion of the approval of the interministerial decree on the taxation of their production. Maroni’s goal will be to shed light on low-alcohol and no-alcohol wines that\, despite the continuous growth in demand on the global market\, raise numerous doubts. \nThe event will also be\, as it is every year\, an opportunity to pull the strings of the past 12 months\, taking a timely snapshot of the state of wine in Italy: “Never has the standard of quality of all Italian wine denominations and types been so high\, especially that of the cheaper\, high-volume wines. As for quality/price and quality/quantity ratio\, Italian wine competes at the highest level in the world.” That’s because\, as Maroni himself specifies in the preface to the Yearbook of the Best Italian Wines 2026\, while the most emblazoned labels have reached sky-high prices\, lovers of good wine\, thanks to the Italian Wine Renaissance that began in the 1980s\, can now buy bottles of exceptional analytical and sensory quality\, at very competitive prices.  \nItaly’s viticulture of excellence attracts like few other countries for its richness\, biodiversity and tradition\, but to show what is happening in the rest of the world as well\, an engaging in-depth workshop on South American wines will take place curated by Luca Maroni during which visitors will be able to discover them by following a narrative that is both technical and perfectly understandable. \nAn additional workshop on different sparkling wine methods will enrich the event\, with tastings of some fine labels. \nAs always\, the event will also be enlivened by focus-edited by Francesca Maroni-on some gastronomic products for tasting that fully express the most authentic traditions of our territory. \nThe program of The Best Italian Wines 2026\nIt will feature the best productions of hundreds of companies\, from every corner of Italy\, selected for their careful work and respect for the grape fruit that is found in its integrity inside the glass. \nMany events will enliven the three-day event: \nThursday\, Feb. 19 (invitation-only event)\n\nGala evening reserved for institutions and producers\, in the Salone delle Fontane.

SUMMARY:Tortèl & Gropèl 2026 at Lasterosse Winery
DESCRIPTION:Tortèl & Gropèl 2026\, the authentic taste of Val di Non: \, every weekend until March 1 potato tortèl\, Groppello\, dedicated menus\, restaurants and masterclasses.\nUntil March 1\, 2026\, Val di Non celebrates one of its most beloved gastronomic rituals with Tortèl & Gropèl\, the food and wine festival dedicated to potato tortèl\, a symbol of conviviality in the valleys of the Noce River\, and Groppello\, an indigenous red wine that tells the area’s most authentic winemaking story.  \nAn appointment that is renewed every weekend\, transforming restaurants\, agritourisms and wineries into meeting places where tradition\, taste and local identity meet at the table. \nOn the calendar of events\, a new masterclass is scheduled for Saturday\, Feb. 21 \, at Cantina Lasterosse in Romallo\, designed for those who want to discover-or rediscover-the secrets of traditional Nonesa cuisine. \nPotato tortèl: the dish of conviviality\nTortèl is not only a gastronomic specialty\, but a true collective ritual. Served at the center of the table in large steaming trays\, it is accompanied by the symbolic products of the valley: cheeses from local dairies\, lucanica\, speck\, mortandela\, carne salada\, to the ever-present cabbage and borlotti bean salad.Each diner constructs his or her own dish\, making the moment of dinner a convivial\, informal experience deeply linked to local culture.  \nGroppello\, the “heroic” wine of Val di Non\nNext to tortèl\, the star in the glass is Groppello\, a rare grape variety grown by only five families on steep\, terraced slopes overlooking Lake Santa Giustina. It is an elegant\, spicy wine with vibrant freshness\, capable of enhancing every mouthful and telling\, sip after sip\, the patient and courageous work of the valley’s winemakers.  \nTortèl & Gropèl Menus.\nAll participating establishments offer a dedicated menu\, featuring potato cakes and local products\, enriched by personal interpretations: pokies\, sauerkraut\, peperonata\, homemade jams or traditional desserts. Many restaurants also offer gluten-free options\, always by reservation.  \nThe review involves numerous restaurants and agritourisms in the Non Valley\, active on weekends or for selected periods. A complete and updated list of participating establishments is available on the official Visit Val di Non website.  \nFor every Tortèl & Gropèl menu purchased\, guests receive a 10% discount voucher for the purchase of Groppello and other local wines at participating wineries\, valid until March 31\, 2026. \nTortèl & Gropèl Masterclass – Lasterosse Winery (Romallo) – Saturday\, February 21\, 2026\nThe masterclass on Saturday\, February 21\, 2026 takes place at Cantina Lasterosse (Romallo). After a welcome toast\, the chef walks participants through the preparation of tortèi: from choosing the potatoes to grating\, from kneading the dough to frying\, and the perfect browning.This is followed by a tasting of the tortèi prepared together\, paired with salumi and cheeses from the valley and a glass of Groppello.  \n\nWhen: Saturday\, February 21\, 2026\nWhere: Lasterosse Winery – Romallo (Val di Non)\nTime: 4:30 pm\nDuration: about 2 hours\n\n\nParticipation in the masterclass is by reservation only\, with registration open until 5 p.m. the day before \nFull details about the Tortèl & Gropèl festival and upcoming events are available on the official website: www.visitvaldinon.it
