SUMMARY:Albarossa on the table
DESCRIPTION:The Consorzio Barbera d’Asti e vini del Monferrato presents the fifth edition of “Albarossa in tavola\,” starting April 20 and lasting for a month\n“Albarossa in Tavola” aims to create a direct link between producers and restaurateurs. \nThe event\, now in its 5th edition\, will offer the opportunity to taste the Albarossa grape variety in some 40 restaurants in Turin and the Monferrato area\, through a unique food and wine experience. Diners will be able to taste a dish specially designed\, by each individual restaurateur\, for the special event and paired with a glass of Albarossa\, from the producer present in that specific restaurant\, exploring new harmonies of flavors and exalting the extraordinary peculiarities of this grape variety.  \nIt will also be possible\, in participating restaurants\, to consult informational material on the native black grape variety from which it takes its name: born in 1938 by Giovanni Dalmasso-one of the fathers of Italian ampelography by crossing Barbera and Nebbiolo-it has been able to win a vast audience of admirers not only on the domestic market but also on the international one. \nThe initiative aims to promote Piedmont DOC Albarossa wine\, but it is also an opportunity to strengthen relationships between producers and restaurants\, enhancing collaboration between the wine and restaurant worlds. \n“Albarossa a Tavola is a unique opportunity to celebrate an extraordinary grape variety\, which tells the story of a vine resulting from the crossing of Barbera and Nebbiolo di Dronero and pioneered by Professor Giovanni Dalmasso in 1938. A wine that represents the identity of Piedmont.” continued President Vitaliano “Through gastronomic pairings\, we want to enhance its elegance and complexity\, demonstrating how it can perfectly accompany our culinary tradition. This event is a sensory journey that combines territory\, passion and conviviality.” \nThrough these promotional events\, the Barbera d’Asti e Vini del Monferrato Consortium reaffirms its commitment to promoting the appellations that represent the beating heart of a unique territory\, combining the protection of traditions with a strong impulse to popularization.

SUMMARY:Lazise - Irresistible PIWI 2025
DESCRIPTION:Irresistible PIWI 2025\, a journey into the future of wine through resistant grape varieties\, this is the event to be held on April 27 and 28\, 2025\, in Lazise\, in the charming Dogana Veneta.\nIrresistible PIWI 2025 is an event conceived by winemaker Luca De Palma and oenologist and consultant agronomist Igor Bonvento. The event\, now in its second year\, is the meeting point of innovation\, sustainability and passion for wine\, all focused on a theme that is rewriting the rules of the industry: PIWI wines.  \nPIWI Wines are the beating heart of the event\, the absolute protagonists of a viticulture that looks to the future. These vines\, the result of research and selection\, were created to meet the challenges of climate change\, reduce the use of pesticides and offer ever higher quality with less ecological impact.  \nResistant varieties: an opportunity for sustainable development of viticulture\nOn April 27 and 28\, at Dogana Veneta in Lazise\, Verona\, experts and producers will meet to explore the possibilities offered by these innovative varieties\, whose use in viticulture is growing exponentially due to environmental benefits and the challenges imposed by climate change.>The focus of the event will be PIWI (Pflanzenschutz im Weinbau) vines\, a group of varieties obtained by crossing traditional grape varieties with strains characterized by innate resistance to diseases such as downy mildew and powdery mildew. Increasingly widespread throughout Europe\, these vines are the fruit of centuries of agronomic research\, combining empirical and scientific knowledge. Their development meets the need for more sustainable viticulture\, reducing the use of phytosanitary treatments and environmental impact.   \nThese varieties\, with their innovative genetic profile\, represent a possible answer to the sustainability needs of modern wineries\, offering new opportunities even where traditional viticulture is challenged by climate change\, though without constituting a universal solution.>Scientifically speaking\, PIWI vines are the result of a cross between traditional grape varieties and American or Asian varieties that are more resistant to certain pathogens. The genetics of these varieties are designed to achieve disease resistance without compromising wine quality. In fact\, PIWI vines are not only resistant to pathogens\, but also produce high quality grapes\, often with an interesting flavor and aroma profile\, making them competitive with traditional varieties.   \nIrresistible PIWI 2025 thus aims not only to serve as a showcase for PIWI varieties\, but also as a scientific and practical refresher for all industry professionals\, with a program featuring lectures\, tastings and discussions on the latest findings in sustainable viticulture. \nParticipating in Irresistible PIWI means experiencing a sensory journey through these resilient wines\, which are not only environmentally friendly but also offer a surprising variety of flavors\, aromas and characteristics. \nWhy are PIWI wines Irresistible?\n\nAdaptability and resilience: these grape varieties are perfect for coping with climate change. They are able to adapt to different climatic and soil conditions\, making wine production more resilient and durable. \nSustainability First: PIWI vines are resistant to diseases such as downy mildew and powdery mildew\, which means reduced use of chemical treatments. This makes them an excellent choice for winemakers who want to work in an environmentally friendly way without compromising quality. \nTaste and very high quality: not only sustainability\, but also extraordinary quality. PIWI wines offer a range of unique flavors\, the result of the biodiversity that these grape varieties bring. \n\nConference “Sustainable Viticulture – genetics\, cultivation techniques and biodiversity”\nOn April 28\, starting at 9 a.m.\, the conference “Sustainable Viticulture – Genetics\, Cultivation Techniques and Biodiversity” will be held\, an important opportunity to discuss issues related to viticulture of the future.>Moderated by Alessandra Biondi Bartolini\, scientific director of Millevigne\, it will feature experts in the field\, including Massimo Gardiman\, Riccardo Velasco\, Sara Zenoni\, Heloise Mahe\, Lucio Brancadoro\, Francesco Favaretto and Tiziana Nardi.\nThe talks will address issues related to viticultural biodiversity\, genetic improvement\, new cultivation techniques and sustainability in viticulture. The conference will be an opportunity to explore the role of research and innovation in the future of the wine sector.  \nA journey into the future of wine\nIrresistible PIWI is the perfect opportunity to discover the secrets of PIWI wines and understand how innovation is transforming the wine landscape. It will be a unique opportunity to taste different types of wines\, from fresh and fruity to more structured and complex\, each with its own story to tell. >During the event\, it will be possible to participate in guided tasting sessions\, engage with experts and discover how these hardy grape varieties are changing not only the way wine is made\, but also the way it is thought about and appreciated. \nEvent details:\nAn event full of tastings\, meetings with producers\, conferences and seminars. Research and innovation will be protagonists\, and it will be possible to learn more about topics such as biodiversity\, genetics of grape varieties and new cultivation techniques.  \nOpening hours: \n\nSunday 27 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.\nMonday 28 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.\n\nLocation: Dogana Veneta\, Lazise\, Verona \nYou can find out all the details and the list of producers on the event’s official page\, irresistiblepiwi.co.uk. \nFor information: info@irresistibilepiwi.it
