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.

Present will be ICE representatives Granit Feneri\, Trade Analyst Stockholm Office\, and Claudio Povero\, Trade Analyst Food & Beverage London Office. A great showcase that VitignoItalia has designed to pursue the dual mission that has always characterized the event: on the one hand to stimulate direct contact between companies and consumers and\, in parallel\, to design business-oriented moments with the trade and importers. In fact\, there will be no shortage of international buyers from Europe and overseas\, a select group of more than 20 operators that underscores the increasingly international nature of the event.     \nWineries present\nGreat expectations for the wineries of Campania\, present with a wide and qualified selection of companies representing the best of regional viticulture. Alongside them ample space for the most interesting terroirs. Great presence of wineries from Friuli Venezia Giulia\, Piedmont and Veneto\, followed by Tuscany\, Sicily and Puglia.
