It happens in Livorno with “Andar per Cantine LIVE\,” the new immersive event signed Enoturistica\, scheduled for Saturday\, March 7 and Sunday\, March 8\, 2026\, at the Officine Storiche at the Porta a Mare Commercial and Residential Complex. \nTwo days designed to get wine tourism “off the pages” and among people. The occasion is given by the presentation of the new 2026 edition of “Andar per Cantine\,” a reference guide to wine tourism in Tuscany that came out with the first edition in 2024 and was built to accompany wine lovers and travelers inside wineries\, villages and territories to be experienced in the field. \nThe format of Andar per Cantine LIVE\nThe format of Andar per Cantine LIVE is that of a narrative journey: at the center is “The Quay\,” a stage for presentations and talks with journalists\, operators and institutions; around it takes shape the”‘Archipelago of Wineries” with tasting counters and mini talks directly with the producers; the”‘Ocean of Wine Destinations” guides the public with maps and multimedia totems through 17 destinations and 68 villages; the “Cruise Experience” instead offers guided tastings with sommeliers in small groups (up to 6 participants)\, for those seeking a more intimate and in-depth pace. \n“With LIVE\, we wanted to create a real bridge between those who love wine and the places where it is born: not just a presentation\, but an experience that gets you into the stories\, people and destinations.” Simone Nannipieri\, the guide’s creator\, event coordinator and wine tourism development consultant\, explains. \nThe location\nAlso noteworthy is the location chosen to host the event: the Officine Storiche di Porta a Mare\, from the heart of shipbuilding to a symbol of urban regeneration\, with Livorno increasingly a candidate to be the gateway to regional food and wine tourism. \n“Andar per Cantine LIVE represents a virtuous example of how food and wine tourism can become a real tool of development for businesses and the territory\,” says Alessandro Ciapini\, director of Confesercenti Provinciale Livorno. \nThe “Andar per Cantine” Guide\nGiving the measure of the project are the guide’s numbers: 137 selected wineries and more than 400 experiences including tastings\, tours\, meetings\, grape harvest and special activities\, with an offer that photographs the evolution of winery hospitality: tastings in 100 percent of cases\, wine shops in 95.6 percent\, proposals with Tuscan cuisine in 66.2 percent\, agritourism in 49.6 percent and wine resorts in 30.9 percent. Among the formulas\, group tours dominate (98.5%)\, but private (39.4%) and customized (18.9%) tours are also growing\, while 36% of wineries offer “WOW” experiences. On the price front\, 26.3 percent stay within 50 euros\, 49.6 percent are between 50 and 150 euros and 13.1 percent in the high range; 33.1 percent highlight sustainability initiatives\, while 3.6 percent report experiences usable by people with disabilities (given by sites). \nUseful information\n\nWhen: Saturday\, March 7 and Sunday\, March 8\, 2026\nHours: Saturday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.\, Sunday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.\nWhere: at the Historic Workshops of the Porta a Mare Commercial and Residential Complex\nOfficial website: andarpercantine.live URL:https://www.doctorwine.wine/event/livorno-andar-per-cantine-live/?lang=en LOCATION:officine Storiche\, Complesso Commerciale e Residenziale Porta a Mare\, Livorno\, Italy CATEGORIES:Tasting,Tuscany Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.doctorwine.wine/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Andar-per-cantine-Live-2026.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260307 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260309 DTSTAMP:20260209T114740Z CREATED:20260209T114740Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260209T114740Z UID:51885-1772841600-1773014399@www.doctorwine.wine SUMMARY:Florence - Eccellenza di Toscana DESCRIPTION:Eccellenza di Toscana\, since the year 2000\, has been the Italian Sommelier Association of Tuscany’s event that highlights and enhances the unparalleled quality of Tuscany’s Wine Excellence.\nThe event the Excellence of Tuscany 2026\nThe event is presented as the evolution of a project that\, since its inception\, has established itself as the main showcase of Tuscan excellence\, in which the indissoluble link with the territory is highlighted\, the profession of the Sommelier is a fundamental and authoritative role in spreading the culture of these excellences. \nThe l’Eccellenza di Toscana 2026 event will take place over two days at the Stazione Leopolda in Florence on Saturday \, March 7 and Sunday\, March 8\, 2026. \nIn the new 2026 edition\, the format will focus on the enhancement of the territory by privileging wine production in its own areas by involving wine consortia and associations in our region that will have their own personalized space. \nDuring the Eccellenza di Toscana event\, a space will be created with all the award-winning labels in the 101 Wines selection \, the best 101 Tuscan labels divided by type\,. \nThe Eccellenza di Toscana Guide\nThe Italian Sommelier Association Tuscany Wine Guide dedicated to Tuscan producers is in its second issue. \nAfter the great success of last year’s edition\, this year will feature more than 500 producers from the region\, and is\na one-of-a-kind event.

Inland hills\, coastal areas\, historic areas and less-traveled contexts: here viticulture has been rooted for centuries and today expresses itself with an ever-growing awareness of quality. \nAlongside the historic producers of the territories\, the L’Altra Toscana Preview also recounts the contribution of emblazoned names in Italian oenology\, who have chosen these appellations to interpret new terroirs\, enhancing their identity and broadening the expressive horizon of Tuscan wine. A varied ensemble that increasingly intrigues the public and confirms the strategic role of these PDOs and PGIs in the regional panorama. A route that crosses territories from the hills to the sea\, offering a broad and articulated reading of wine Tuscany\, far from stereotypes and increasingly attentive to local peculiarities. \nProgram\nWednesday\, February 18\, 2026 – Palazzo degli Affari\, FlorenceHours: \n\n9:00 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.Tasting reserved for accredited press\, with a la carte sommelier service\n2:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.Tasting by reservation for industry professionals\n\nAdmission is by reservation only \nAnteprima L’Altra Toscana 2026 thus confirms itself as a fundamental moment to understand the plurality of Tuscan viticulture\, enhancing denominations that\, together\, represent a significant part of regional production and contribute to making Tuscany one of the most complex and fascinating viticultural areas in Italy. \nUseful information\nPreview L’Altra Toscana is part of the official calendar of Tuscany Preview Week: https://www.anteprimetoscane.it URL:https://www.doctorwine.wine/event/florence-laltra-toscana-2026-preview/?lang=en LOCATION:Palazzo degli Affari\, Piazza Adua\, 1\, Firenze\, Italy CATEGORIES:Preview Wines,Tasting,Tuscany Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.doctorwine.wine/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Doctor-Wine-Calendario.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260216T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260217T190000 DTSTAMP:20260111T082859Z CREATED:20260111T082859Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260111T082859Z UID:50221-1771236000-1771354800@www.doctorwine.wine SUMMARY:Florence - Chianti Classico Collection 2026 DESCRIPTION:Chianti Classico Collection 2026: New Black Rooster vintages previewed in the largest Chianti Classico wine tasting.\nThe Chianti Classico Collection 2026 returns to Florence with one of the most anticipated events of the Tuscany Preview Week.

Great artists and quality glasses in a magical atmosphere to celebrate the happy union between jazz music and the city of Brunello. \nFor the 28th edition\, the festival presents a program featuring artists such as Enrico Pieranunzi\, Kenny Barron\, Malika Ayane\, Nicola Piovani\, Fabrizio Bosso and Javier Girotto\, Avishai Cohen \nFrom July 22 to 27\, Jazz & Wine in Montalcino returns.\nNow in its 28th year\, the festival is a collaboration between the renowned Banfi winery\, the Rubei family of the Alexanderplatz Jazz Club in Rome and the Municipality of Montalcino. \nIn these 28 years\, thanks to its original formula\, in which a cultural reality such as Alexanderplatz and a true patron such as Banfi collaborate side by side\, Jazz & Wine in Montalcino has attracted many of the most famous international and Italian jazz artists to its stage. Artistic direction by Eugenio Rubei\, who follows in the wake of the vision of its longtime artistic director\, Giampiero Rubei. The festival offers space for the most diverse proposals of the international jazz scene\, opening up to sporadic forays into pop: a mix of languages that wins and convinces by consecrating this billboard as one of the most beloved ever\, followed by an audience that – over time – continues to grow. \nTuesday\, July 22\nIt starts on Tuesday\, July 22\, in the picturesque setting of Castello Banfi\, with LEGEND OF JAZZ KENNY BARRON TRIO. Considered one of the world’s greatest jazz pianists\, celebrated for his lyrical and refined style\, Barron has recorded more than forty albums as a leader. He has also received numerous awards\, including 13 Grammy nominations and the title of NEA Jazz Master. For more than a decade he has led a close-knit trio with Kiyoshi Kitagawa on double bass and Johnathan Blake on drums. \nWednesday\, July 23\nOn Wednesday\, July 23\, also at Castello Banfi\, comes ENRICO PIERANUNZI TRIO. On stage alongside the well-known pianist\, an absolute excellence of Italian jazz\, will be Francesco Petreni\, a Sienese drummer of remarkable technical-musical quality\, and the phenomenal Danish double bassist Thomas Fonnesbaek\, with whom he has a long-standing collaboration from which intense and overwhelming albums have resulted. A trio not to be missed\, considered among the best European ensembles. \nThursday\, July 24 \nOn Thursday\, July 24 \, the festival moves to the medieval walls of the Montalcino Fortress where\, exclusively for Tuscany\, singer-songwriter MALIKA AYANE will perform. With five appearances at the Sanremo Festival\, she has won two “Mia Martini Critics’ Awards.” Six albums and numerous collaborations with artists such as Bocelli\, Cremonini\, Jazzanova\, to celebrate her fifteen-year career she is back live with Malika Ayane at Teatro 2024. \n Friday\, July 25\nA performance of great stature will take place on Friday\, July 25. On stage NICOLA PIOVANI ORCHESTRA with “Notes on the Margin\,” a kind of autobiographical tale commissioned from Nicola Piovani by the Cannes Film Festival in 2003 (under the title “Leçon Concert”). In the wake of memories and anecdotes\, the Maestro retraces some of the great encounters that have marked his path. From Federico Fellini\, fondly remembered for his small foibles and mastery as a director\, from the Taviani to Vincenzo Cerami and Roberto Benigni\, with episodes narrated with lightness and sincerity. Life experiences between music\, cinema\, and theater that Piovani recounts by accompanying them with the notes of his piano\, along with saxophone and double bass. Telling in music helps to understand the meaning of the tale of Piovani who emphasized “I do not remember a single moment in my life when there was not music.” \nThe concert is in collaboration with Winenews\, which strongly wanted the great artist in Montalcino\, on the Jazz & Wine stage. \nSaturday\, July 26\nOn Saturday\, July 26\, ahead of their 20th anniversary\, “Latin Mood\,” a group led by JAVIER GIROTTO and FABRIZIO BOSSO with “Desde cuando\,” return to the stage of Jazz & Wine in Montalcino. A new album\, a renewed opportunity to produce new music in that infinitely varied language that is Latin Jazz. In the concert\, along with new compositions\, there will be no shortage of the group’s historical songs from previous albums\, “Sol” and “Vamos.” \nThe 28th edition of Jazz & Wine in Montalcino closes on Sunday\, July 27. Featuring AVISHAI COHEN QUARTET\, one of the most original and acclaimed trumpet players on the world contemporary jazz scene\, known for his personal sound and constant artistic research. Joining him on stage are Jonathan Avishai on piano\, Yoni Zelnik on double bass and Ziv Ravitz on drums. His music continues to push the boundaries of traditional jazz\, establishing him as one of the most innovative voices of his generation. \nGeneral Information\nArtistic direction: Eugenio Rubei (Alexanderplatz Jazz Club in Rome\, Sound&Image) \nAll Jazz & Wine in Montalcino performances will begin at 9:45 p.m. \nFor information \njazzandwinemontalcino.it \nfoundationbanfi.co.uk \nReservations at Vivaticket.com link – Infoline: 892 234 URL:https://www.doctorwine.wine/event/jazz-wine-in-montalcino/?lang=en LOCATION:Castello Banfi\, Montalcino\, Italy CATEGORIES:Tasting,Tuscany Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.doctorwine.wine/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/jazz-wine-in-Montalcino.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20250718T103000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20250718T170000 DTSTAMP:20250719T084833Z CREATED:20250719T084833Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250719T084833Z UID:39277-1752834600-1752858000@www.doctorwine.wine SUMMARY:Siena - For a great white wine from inland Tuscany DESCRIPTION:“For a great white wine from inland Tuscany”: at the Enoteca Italiana on July 18\, the challenge launched for tomorrow’s consumers\n\n“For a Great White Wine of Inland Tuscany.” A day of study\, starting at 10:30 a.m. July 18\, with an ambitious goal: to identify grape varieties and production processes capable of creating a great white wine in central Tuscany\, a land of great reds \nThe event is promoted by the Italian Academy of Vine and Wine\, Enoteca Italiana Siena\, Donne del Vino della Toscana and Ais Toscana \nJuly 18 at the Medici Fortress in Siena a study day\nOn July 18 at the Fortezza Medicea in Siena a study day “For a great white wine of inland Tuscany.” The title also represents the objective of this initiative promoted by the Italian Academy of Vine and Wine\, Donne del Vino of Tuscany and Enoteca Italiana Siena involving the main players in the supply chain not only in the region. \nAn area rich in great and emblazoned reds\, that of central Tuscany\, but which must look to the consumers of tomorrow by also focusing on a white wine of great character and quality\, starting with sharing between the scientific world and producers. \nAn ambitious project that finds substance on an important day for wine Tuscany. “Our region has a prevalence of red grape vines dominated by Sangiovese (65 percent)\, while the Italian and international market is turning to white wines\,” says Donatella Cinelli Colombini\, Delegate of the Donne del Vino of Tuscany\, “this criticality is among the reasons for the drop in sales of Tuscan wineries that has continued since 2022. The Tuscan coast successfully produces Vermentino and Ansonica while the historic white grape variety of the inland area\, Trebbiano Toscano (6.5 percent of the regional vineyard) is the only Italian white grape variety to lose hectares (-5 percent between 2005 and 2021). An abandonment perhaps linked to the lack of clonal selection and the use of production methods incapable of bringing out its quality potential. \nSiena’s central role\nThe appointment solemnizes the reopening of the Enoteca Italiana after more than a decade since its closure and is also intended to highlight the scientific potential of the Italian Academy of Vine and Wine\, which was founded in Siena on July 30\, 1949 and remained with its secretariat in this city until the end of the twentieth century. In short\, it is a reaffirmation of Siena’s role as the capital and engine of a great wine district. Working on the project are the Mayor of the city of Siena\, Nicoletta Fabio and the President of the Chamber of Commerce Massimo Guasconi in this case also represented by the Women’s Entrepreneurship Committee with Elisa Marcheselli. >”The presence in our premises of the Academy of Vine and Wine\, which was born in Siena itself 75 years ago\, and the Women of Wine Association is a moment of the highest symbolic value\, says Enoteca Italiana Siena President Elena D’Aquanno. It is a return to the origins of an oenological thought that has always combined science\, passion and vision. After years of silence\, with this event we return to being a living place of culture\, research and discussion. It is a strong signal: the culture of wine that thinks and innovates starts again from Siena.” \n“As an Academy we must support initiatives like this with the scientific input that characterizes us”-explains the President of the Italian Academy of Vine and Wine\, Rosario Di Lorenzo. “Doing so in this rediscovered venue and in this city that saw the birth of our project decades ago takes on an even more symbolic value that\, I hope\, does not end with just this initiative.” \nThe rich program of the initiative.\nThe study day at the Enoteca Italiana will begin at 10:30 a.m. with a tasting led by Cristiano Cini president of AIS Toscana. The tasting will feature 11 white wines produced by Donne del Vino in the inland part of the region using indigenous grape varieties (also blended with international grapes) and different winemaking techniques (registration required subject to availability). Widespread and spontaneous experimentation done by Miriam Caporali of Tenuta Valdipiatta\, Beatrice Contini Buonacossi of Tenuta di Capezzana\, Caterina Dei of Cantine Dei\, Cristiana Grati of Azienda Agricola Borgo Prunatelli\, Antonella Manuli of Fattoria La Maliosa\, Clara Monaci of Corte Dei Venti\, Lucia Mori of Podere Casaccia\, Annabella Pascale of Tenuta Di Artimino\, Veronica Passerin D’Entrèves of Dianella\, Mina Samouti of Fattoria Sardi\, Aurora Visentin of Cantina Del Testimone.\nThe presentation of the wines will be followed by a scientific conference\, at 2:30 p.m.\, led by Giovanni Pellicci\, editor of “I Grandi Vini” magazine. It is the starting point for research by Tuscan viticulture and oenology universities and Crea. And it is also the key point for looking to the future. Scholars from the Italian Academy of Vine and Wine\, Claudio D’Onofrio University of Pisa\, Giovan Battista Mattii University of Florence\, Paolo Storchi Crea\, Angela Zinnai oenologist University of Pisa\, will bring their contributions on current knowledge. \nThe goal of the day\nThe goal of this day will be\, as mentioned\, ambitious: to endow central Tuscany with a great white wine with distinctive characters. The Region of Tuscany\, which will be represented by the apex executives of the Department of Agriculture – Roberto Scalacci and Gennaro Giliberti – intends to support it and aim very high. It will be up to the Tuscan Wine Consortium with its President Cesare Cecchi to hold the reins of a path of research and experimentation in the footsteps of the “Chianti Classico 2000” project that in the second half of the 20th century gave Tuscany the Sangiovese clones for its great current red wines. \nTo attend the study day\, make reservations by sending an email to accademiaitalianavitevino@gmail.com URL:https://www.doctorwine.wine/event/siena-for-a-great-white-wine-from-inland-tuscany/?lang=en LOCATION:Enoteca Italiana Fortezza Medicea\, Siena\, Italy CATEGORIES:Tuscany Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.doctorwine.wine/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/36863696-b74e-3089-bbd6-fb9f6d6c9240.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20250608T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20250609T210000 DTSTAMP:20250520T091020Z CREATED:20250520T091020Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250520T091020Z UID:36946-1749394800-1749502800@www.doctorwine.wine SUMMARY:VinoVip al Forte DESCRIPTION:VinoVip al Forte: Seaside Summit Sunday June 8 and Monday June 9 at one of Italy’s most exclusive seaside destinations.\nVinoVip al Forte 2025\nThe protagonists of Italian oenology meet professionals and enthusiasts for a Full Immersion in “auteur” wine in Forte dei Marmi\, in two days dedicated to high quality drinking. \nFrom the Dolomite Alps to the white marbles of the Apuan Alps\, that is\, from Cortina to the Forte dei Marmi coastline.
