SUMMARY:SUBER - Suvereto Wine Festival
DESCRIPTION:SUBER – Suvereto Wine Festival: May 1-3 Suvereto\, a medieval village in the Val di Cornia\, hosts the 3rd edition of the festival.\nSUBER – Suvereto Wine Festival: Three days of widespread celebration among wineries\, producers and artisans. Suvereto winemakers bet on new types of wine and the identity of a territory to be discovered.  \nThe third edition of SUBER – Suvereto Wine Festival\, May 1-3\, 2026\, chronicles a metamorphosis. The revision of the disciplinary with the new Suvereto DOCG marks a key step in the construction of more identity wines.  \nAt SUBER we taste\, walk\, listen and think\, together\, about the future of the territory\, as Daniele Petricci\, president of the Suvereto and Val di Cornia Wine Consortium\, explains. “SUBER was born as a time and place where wine returns to be a common language for those who\, in the glass\, seek not only quality but also stories\, relationships and belonging. The Festival is the result of the vision and commitment of an entire community that has decided to look in the same direction\, recognizing itself as a single\, pulsating ecosystem. From stores to artisans\, from restaurateurs to young winemakers\, everyone is doing their part with a proactive and inclusive spirit. We certainly welcome visitors with a glass of our wines\, but also with a choral tale of our territory.”  \nAn evolution that not only concerns production\, but also redefines the positioning of this area of the Upper Maremma that focuses on wine tourism and the value it can generate. It is on this terrain that the new generations – winemakers\, restaurateurs\, artisans and local administrators – are called to confront. Outlining a shared path capable of holding together identity\, sustainability and competitiveness in a global context.   \nThe masterclass “Suvereto Docg\, a new history” is dedicated to this change. 12 guided and comparative tastings to understand how the new production rules are already drawing the profile of tomorrow’s wines of this young appellation. (Saturday\, May 2 and Sunday\, May 3 at 3 p.m.). \nThe program\nOfficially opening the Festival on Friday\, May 1 from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. is the SUBER Aperitivo with live music. Sunset with a view of the Val di Cornia with local glasses\, finger food and notes in the gardens of the Suvereto and Val di Cornia Wine Consortium\, which organizes the entire Festival under the patronage of the Municipality of Suvereto.  \nOn Saturday\, May 2 and Sunday\, May 3\, SUBER gets into full swing. Its energy spreads along the streets of Suvereto in a widespread festival involving the entire village with stores\, stores\, wine bars and restaurants open until late in the evening. The cobblestone alleys\, palaces and small squares of the medieval urbe host tastings\, workshops\, sports and recreational activities\, talks\, show cooking and performances. Goblet in hand\, visitors are invited to stroll through the streets of Suvereto\, its scents and flavors. To try their hand at the different activities offered to celebrate\, together with the local community\, the Val di Cornia\, where wine\, food\, history\, landscape and innovation permeate economy and society.     \nSUBER offers a widespread program that spans the territory. From outdoor activities among the rows – walks\, guided hikes and e-bikes and a wine tourism proposal involving all the wineries – to tasting spaces in the village\, with “Goblets with a View” (at the Consortium headquarters) and the AperiChiostro and Music in Vinyl (Saturday afternoon in the cloisters of San Francesco)\, where Val di Cornia producers tell their stories in person. On Sunday\, winemakers spread out along the village streets with “Chiostro in tour\,” where each winery is joined by a local artisan\, creating a concrete dialogue between wine and territory. Sunday afternoon is all about food. One can taste recipes based on local products cooked live by guest chefs during the show cooking/talk “Mangio quindi sono: la cucina come patrimonio immateriale degli italiani\,” to take home the taste of Suvereto.    \nAlongside tastings\, SUBER builds moments of discussion and insight. Talks bring different generations and visions of wine into dialogue\, while guided tastings highlight local appellations and oil. The program is completed with family activities\, workshops and games. A context that\, among vineyards\, sea and Etruscan sites\, makes the festival a privileged access point to the Val di Cornia.   \nFor information and full program: suberfestival.co.uk \nFrom SUBER to the sea\, via the Etruscans\nSUBER’s three-day event coincides with the May 1 bridge. It is an opportunity for a trip to a lesser-known area of the Maremma-the Val di Cornia of which Suvereto is the wine capital. To immerse oneself in a microcosm where time seems to have stood still\, while remaining extraordinarily vital. Where the legacy of the Etruscans and the wisdom of the iron masters live again today in the resourcefulness of young Suveretani.   \nMoreover\, the Festival lives in an area where everything is close by. Around Suvereto\, the Val di Cornia alternates between vineyards\, Mediterranean scrub and the sea. In just a few kilometers\, one goes from the vineyards to the coves of the Gulf of Baratti\, from the thermal baths of Sassetta or Calidario to the archaeological area of Populonia overlooking the Etruscan Coast\, the “Caribbean of the Tyrrhenian Sea.”  \nFor more information and full program: suberfestival.co.uk

SUMMARY:Bolzano - Vinaltum 2026
DESCRIPTION:Vinaltum 2026: “Tasting excellence” at Mareccio Castle\, in the heart of Bolzano\, May 17 and 18\nVinaltum\, the Festival of Wine Excellence of Italy and the World\, dedicated to wine lovers and wine professionals\, is back. For this third edition\, the event takes a significant step and lands in Castel Mareccio\, in the heart of Bolzano\, bringing with it all its exclusive character in a setting even more evocative and representative of the South Tyrolean territory.  \nMareccio Castle\nNestled among vineyards on the outskirts of the city\, Castel Mareccio is a medieval castle from the 13th century. It stands on a hilltop promontory with panoramic views of the Adige Valley. Now a venue for high-profile events\, its historic architecture\, frescoed rooms and surrounding park provide a setting of rare elegance-a setting perfectly in line with the values of Vinaltum\, where excellence\, territory and beauty meet.  \n“Castel Mareccio represents a quantum leap in context for Vinaltum. We wanted to bring the event to the heart of Bolzano\,” comments Danilo D’Ambra\, creator of Vinaltum\, “in a place that spoke of territory\, history and excellence as much as the wines tasted there  \nThe Vinaltum project\nVinaltum was born from the synergy between Danilo D’Ambra and Luciano Rappo\, two leading figures in the Italian wine scene. D’Ambra\, FISAR president for Bolzano and Bassa Atesina\, is a great connoisseur of the sector and a passionate promoter of wine culture. Rappo\, a longtime wine consultant and point of reference for many wineries\, has dedicated his career to the promotion of Italian wine excellence. Together\, with the support of Pietro Cormaci\, Brand Ambassador of the event\, and Rinaldo Hauser Sommelier of experience and “Keeper of Taste\,” they have built a project that aims to be a bridge between producers\, buyers\, experts and industry enthusiasts\, promoting an authentic and educational tasting experience.    \n“Vinaltum was born out of the conviction that quality wine deserves a stage to match.” – says Luciano Rappo\, co-organizer of Vinaltum-“The selection of wineries participating in the event is never random: we look for producers who have something authentic to tell\, who express the territory through their wines. It is this rigor in the selection that makes Vinaltum a credible\, expected and different event from others.” \nVinaltum 2026\nThe careful selection of participating wineries and the direct presence of producers will offer visitors an unprecedented wine experience.” \nTo make the experience even more complete for guests of the event\, Vinaltum 2026 benefits from the valuable collaboration of the Goldenstern Townhouse\, the official hospitality partner. Located in the heart of Bolzano’s historic center\, under the city’s medieval arcades\, the Goldenstern is much more than a hotel. It is an expertly restored 800 AD historic building with sixteen unique suites\, each custom-designed and dedicated to one of the people who shaped its history. The panoramic terrace overlooking the rooftops of Bolzano and the Dolomites\, the interiors that blend contemporary design and period stucco\, the breakfast with fresh local products-all speak of that same quest for excellence that animates Vinaltum. A natural partnership\, between two businesses that share the same vision of the beautiful and the good.     \n“Mareccio Castle and the Goldenstern are two places that tell the same soul of Bolzano“-D’Ambra emphasizes-history\, beauty and the pursuit of excellence. Having them both alongside VINALTUM is not a coincidence\, it is a precise choice. We want every moment of the event to match the wines and the Producers we host.”   \nWith the support of Arco Expeditions\, Main Sponsor for logistics\, Goldenstern Townhouse\, Sophienwald with UNO Glassworks\, Castel Hortenberg\, Franz Kraler\, and in collaboration with FISAR\, Vinaltum 2026 is confirmed as an unmissable experience for those who love wine and wish to experience it in a high-class and professional setting\, in the extraordinary crossroads of cultures\, landscapes and flavors that is South Tyrol. \nThe program\nThe program consists of two days: \n\nSunday\, May 17 tastings open to the public\non Monday\, May 18 access restricted to insiders and invited guests.\n\nBoth days will be enhanced by exclusive master classes led by industry experts. \nServing as an interlude between the first and second days is the traditional“Big Bottle Party” on Sunday evening. This is a time of conviviality and celebration where participants can taste large formats in an elegant and engaging atmosphere.  \nMore details on the official Vinatum.co.uk page.
