SUMMARY:Canelli City of Wine - "Sparkling Canelli - Bubbles in Canelli"
DESCRIPTION:Canelli City of Wine – Sparkling Canelli – Bubbles in Canelli: Two days to celebrate the city of Muscat and Underground Cathedrals\nThere is a place\, in the heart of the UNESCO heritage hills\, where wine comes to life among ancient stones\, the voices of tradition and the gentle breath of summer. It is Canelli\, city of Muscat and Underground Cathedrals\, which for two days becomes the capital of taste and conviviality with the 2025 edition of Canelli City of Wine entitled “Sparkling Canelli – Bubbles in Canelli.”  \nA widespread event\, an open-air festival\, an invitation to get lost – and find oneself – among glasses of wine\, picturesque views\, meetings\, music\, stories and flavors. \nFriday\, July 11\nWith the “White Night of Libraries\,” words\, readings and music meet under the stars for a special evening dedicated to culture and imagination. The “Monticone” Civic Library will be the protagonist in Piazza Cavour\, amid summer atmospheres and moments to share\, accompanied by the musical performance of Mila Ogliastro\, whose voice will make the experience even more evocative.  \nSaturday\, July 12\nThe lights slowly turn on on the squares and cobbled streets of Canelli. At 6 p.m.\, with the official opening\, the tastings begin: the first toast is the prelude to a journey through the most beloved wines-Canelli DOCG\, Asti Spumante DOCG\, Alta Langa DOCG-accompanied by street food dishes offered by the Pro Loco and local restaurateurs.  \nThe Sternia\, Canelli’s historic street\, is transformed into a stroll among faces\, wines and stories: during the event\, local producers will find space here\, with their stations overlooking evocative views and breathtaking panoramas. Piazza Cavour and Via G.B. Giuliani host the large tasting stands\, while the Church of San Rocco\, the Enoteca Regionale and other characteristic courtyards open their doors to the Consortia of Asti Spumante DOCG\,Alta Langa DOCG\, Canelli DOCG and Vermouth\, which offer guided tastings paired with sweets from local pastry shops and artisanal ice cream.  \nIn Piazza Aosta\, “La piazzetta degli artisti” will come to life with painting and sculpture exhibitions\, en plein air performances-even with wine as the color-and creative workshops for children. In the evening\, the little train through the village of Villanuova offers a romantic interlude among the vineyards and hills\, and at 7 p.m. a living chess game in Zoppa Square transforms the game into a spectacle: figures in stage clothes move on the board like real pawns\, bringing to life a challenge of intelligence and theatricality that enchants young and old alike.  \nMusic wafts to every corner: DJ sets and signature songs accompany the bubbles under the stars for a night of excitement. \nSunday\, July 13\nIt’s a slow awakening day\, with the opening of craft exhibits. Back to life is the “Piazzetta degli Artisti\,” which on Sunday will once again animate the center with exhibitions\, performances and workshops\, giving adults and children new moments of creativity and participation. Also active again are the food points in the squares and along the streets\, while in the afternoon the wineries open their doors for visits\, stories and tastings immersed in the beauty of the area.   \nThe Enoteca Courtyard becomes a stage for popular meetings: mini lectures on Metodo Classico and Martinotti\, led by experts\, accompany the public in a reasoned and curious tasting. In the afternoon\, shuttles take you on scenic routes and to the “El Valet” truffle farm\, for those who want to discover the most authentic and hidden side of local production: the itinerary winds through the vineyards that embroider the hills\, passing in front of the historic wine cellars\, until it reaches symbolic places such as the Contini Tower\, from which the gaze embraces all the beauty of the wine-growing landscape.  \nThe itinerary also continues in the sign of the truffle\, with in-depth moments dedicated to the prized Black Summer Truffle\, in addition to a guided tour of the “El Valet” truffle farm: a popular talk on Sunday at 6 p.m. in Piazza Cavour entitled “Black Truffle: Natural Opportunities\,” with guest Isabella Gianicolo of the National Center for Truffle Studies in Alba. The weekend’s food and wine proposal is also enriched with dishes celebrating it\, paired with local bubbles\, for an intense encounter between land and wine.  \nExhibitions open to the public\nThroughout the weekend\, art and photography enrich the Canelli City of Wine experience with two exhibitions open to the public: \n\nSala delle Stelle – “The UNESCO Wonder of Langhe\, Roero and Monferrato”\nFrom July 4 to August 31\, a story in images through the shots of Enzo Massa\, Carlo Avataneo and Enzo Isaia: a tribute to the landscape that surrounds us\, among hills\, vineyards and villages suspended in time.\nPalazzo Irreale – “Giuseppe Gabellone ” Exhibition \nFrom May 18 to Sept. 28\, the halls of Palazzo Irreale will host the poetic and visual universe of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on the Italian scene.\n\nThe majestic Underground Cathedrals will also be visited with guided tours and by reservation:\nAn unmissable opportunity to descend into the tuff hearts where the great sparkling wines rest\, in one of the most iconic UNESCO heritage sites.

SUMMARY:Sicilia in Bolle
DESCRIPTION:Sicilia in Bolle – the review of Sicilian sparkling wines: eleventh candle for the bubble festival of Ais Agrigento Caltanissetta\nThe Agrigento Caltanissetta delegation together with Ais Sicilia presents the biggest highlight of the entire season: the Sicilian bubbly review. \nThe event will span three days including thematic talks\, conferences\, masterclasses\, wine contests\, atmospheric sunset aperitifs and gala dinners\, with an appendix on mixology on July 7 \nAis Sicilia and Ais Agrigento Caltanissetta once again protagonists through its regional wine appreciation events. It is coming up\, in fact\, between July 12 and 14 next\, between Casa Diodoros in the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento and the Madison Restaurant in Realmonte\, the eleventh edition of “Sicilia in Bolle\,” the now archaic kermesse\, the most relevant of the entire program year\, which concerns the promotion of sparkling and sparkling wines from the entire island and beyond.  \nSicilia in Bolle in the beginning a bet described as “impossible”\nThe first edition was born as a bet won by the then delegate of Ais Agrigento-Caltanissetta\, Francesco Baldacchino\, now president of Ais Sicilia\, who always tells that he picked up the provocation of a northern colleague who said that from Rome downwards it should be forbidden to produce sparkling wine. A goad that acted as a spur and spark\, and that leads today to narrate the eleventh time of this challenge taken up that gives luster to a sector that is always growing.  \nThe idea\, then\, took shape during chats between the late Alberto Gino Grillo\, late sommelier to whom an Award and a contest have been dedicated for years\, and Baldacchino himself\, who\, together with the delegation operating group and in the evocative scenery of the Scala Dei Turchi\, succeeded in shaping from nothing to a then exceptional and singular event for Sicily. \n“Eleven years ago we never would have thought we would be able to collect this enormous success of acclaim\,” says Ais Sicilia President Francesco Baldacchino. An event that every year is always eagerly awaited by winelovers and wineries. The latter see their products enhanced through the tasting counters\, but also with thematic meetings\, masterclasses and dedicated talk shows. A peculiar moment in which sparkling wine is elevated to the undisputed prince of Sicilian viticulture and which also finds a way to compare itself with products from other Italian or foreign vocated areas\, such as Franciacorta\, Alta Langa or France for example.”    \nBetween the Scala dei Turchi and the Valley of the Temples\nThere will be three days dedicated to Sparkling wines: Saturday\, July 12\, Sunday 13 and Monday 14. The Madison in Realmonte (AG)\, a restaurant right next to the Scala dei Turchi\, and the Valley of the Temples\, along the Coast of Myth\, in the province of Agrigento \, a city for 2025 designated a capital of culture\, will be the stage for this eventful 11th edition of “Sicilia in Bolle.” \nPlus an appendix on Monday\, July 7\, at “‘Nzolia\,” a restaurant wine bar\, in Agrigento in which the Mixology contest “Marisa Leo Memorial Prize” will see bartenders grappling with Sicilian sparkling wines. A tribute to creativity and talent.  \nExpected to collaborate with two exclusive partners who will ensure a sure focus on quality and innovation: IRVO\, Regional Institute of Wine and Oil\, and CREA-VE\, a center that deals with viticulture and carries out activities to conserve and enhance national viticultural germplasm\, as well as promote cultivation techniques aimed at encouraging environmental sustainability. The two entities will be featured in an interesting conference on experimental sparkling wines moderated by Roberto Gueli\, deputy national director TGR Rai.  \nA significant tribute to the shores of Agrigento.\n“Sicilia in Bolle” is not only a wine event\, but a true tribute to the territory. The choice of these exceptional locations fits perfectly into the project to enhance the Coast of Myth promoted by the Valley of the Temples Tourist District. An initiative that aims to enhance the scenic\, historical and cultural wonders of this stretch of the Agrigento coast\, offering visitors a complete immersion in the magic of ancient and contemporary Sicily.   \nIn addition to the appointment that will raise the curtain on the event and which will cover the two most in vogue Sicilian autochthonous wines of the moment\, Grillo and Nero d’Avola\, there will be no less than three masterclasses located one per day. With some “incognito” wine glasses:  \n\nsicilian varieties\nsparkling wine making according to the Classical Method\ncomparisons with different territorial production realities.\n\nWine contest\, sunset aperitif and gala dinner\nAlso scheduled for Monday 14 is the super panel of official tasters from Ais Sicilia and a number of journalists and restaurateurs who will try their hand at the wine competition\, decreeing blindly the best labels according to type and color. The competition will include in closing the presentation of the “Alberto Gino Grillo Award” for the different categories.  \nAlso scheduled is an aperitif with sunset buffet at “Casa Diodoros” on Saturday\, July 12\, and the following evening\, that of Sunday\, July 13\, a gala dinner under the stars by chef Nino Ferreri of Bagheria’s “Limu” restaurant\, a Michelin star\, and chef Salvatore Gambuzza of the “Marriott Mangia’s Brucoli Resort” restaurant. \nDulcis in fundo and unfailing are the tasting counters at the closing of the event.
