A context in which wine becomes an opportunity for dialogue\, comparison and discovery of different territories and production visions. \nWine according to nature\nUnderlying the event is the philosophy of the ViniVeri Consortium\, established in 2004 with the aim of promoting an approach to wine that respects natural cycles and the balance between man and the environment. In the vineyard this means avoiding pesticides\, herbicides and synthetic fertilizers\, while in the winery technical interventions are kept to a minimum\, with no selected yeasts or unnecessary additives. \nThe result is wines that are meant to be an authentic expression of the terroir\, the vintage and the work of the winemaker\, produced according to an agricultural vision that focuses on biodiversity\, sustainability and territorial identity. \nTastings and face-to-face meeting with winemakers\nThe heart of the event are the tasting counters\, where visitors can sample hundreds of labels presented directly by producers. The 2026 edition will see the participation of more than 120-150 winemakers from different Italian regions and other European countries\, brought together to tell about their wines and their understanding of viticulture. \nAlongside the tastings\, the program includes in-depth discussions\, meetings and gastronomic initiatives that bring wine into dialogue with other quality artisanal products\, such as cheeses\, cured meats\, oil and other local products. \nThe event is also an important opportunity for winemakers\, industry professionals and wine lovers to meet in a more intimate and authentic setting than the big international fairs. \nA key appointment during the week of Vinitaly\nOver the years\, ViniVeri has become one of the most anticipated events on the natural and artisanal wine calendar\, thanks in part to its strategic location in the days immediately preceding Vinitaly\, attracting to Cerea many operators and enthusiasts already present in the Verona area for the major international fair. \nAn appointment that\, more than just a tasting\, aims to tell the story of a community of winemakers who share values and agricultural practices oriented toward quality\, respect for the environment and the expressive freedom of wine. \nUseful information\n\nDates: April 10 – 12\, 2026\nLocation: Area Exp “The Factory\,” Cerea (Verona)\nHours: 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.\nFormat: tasting booths\, meetings with producers\, in-depth discussions and artisanal food products\n\nFor the full program and list of participating winemakers: https://www.viniveri.net/ URL:https://www.doctorwine.wine/event/cerea-viniveri-2026/?lang=en LOCATION:Area Exp La Fabbrica Cerea\, Via Guglielmo Oberdan\, 10\, Cerea (Verona)\, Italy CATEGORIES:Tasting,Veneto Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.doctorwine.wine/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Cerea-ViniVeri-2026-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260411 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260412 DTSTAMP:20260502T212215 CREATED:20260311T082851Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260311T082851Z UID:53361-1775865600-1775951999@www.doctorwine.wine SUMMARY:Verona - OperaWine 2026 DESCRIPTION:OperaWine – The Best Italian Wines 2026: the elite of Italian wine opens the week of Vinitaly\n\n\n\n\nOperaWine is the event that traditionally opens the week of Vinitaly and brings together a selection of the best Italian wineries in front of journalists\, buyers and industry professionals from around the world.\n\n\n\n\nThe 2026 edition of OperaWine\, to be heldApril 11 in Verona\, promises to be particularly significant. A celebration of Italian winemaking excellence that looks simultaneously at tradition and new generations of producers. \nA unique event in the wine scene\nOperaWine was born in 2012 from the collaboration between Veronafiere and the American magazine Wine Spectator\, one of the world’s most influential publications in the wine industry. \nOperaWine is the exclusive event that offers specialized operators from all over the world the chance to learn about the best Italian wines. The rankings are compiled by experts from Wine Spectator\, a publication that is an internationally recognized authority in the wine industry. Each year\, the judges subject the selected Italian wines to careful visual and taste-olfactory scrutiny and assign each a score based on several criteria. Out of this scrutiny comes the excellence of Italian producers: wineries from all over the peninsula that\, despite their differences in terroir\, production style and company size\, are united by the very high quality of the wines they produce. OperaWine gives journalists\, operators and key industry personalities exclusive access to this Finest Italian Wines Selection by Wine Spectator. \nThe true protagonist of the event is the ability to tell the great diversity of Italian wine\, both in tradition and in the new frontiers of enology. However it is declined\, this richness deserves to be communicated and promoted all over the world: OperaWine is in fact also a kermesse with an international scope\, a showcase that projects the best Italian wines towards exports to the major foreign markets. \nHowever\, selected Italian wines are not solely a commodity. On the contrary\, they are true ambassadors of Made in Italy\, an interweaving of emotionality and culture that goes beyond the simple bottle. They are products that\, on the occasion of this elite tasting\, create the valuable opportunity to discuss Communication\, e-Commerce and Marketing related to a commercial sphere that\, in these fields\, still has a long way to go. \nThis is not just a tasting\, but a true showcase of contemporary Italian wine\, capable of recounting territories\, styles and production histories that have built Italy’s reputation on the world wine scene. \nThe 150 wineries featured in the 2026 edition\nThe format is simple but extremely selective: a large invitation-only tasting where producers chosen by Wine Spectator present their wines to an international audience of professionals. \nThe big news of OperaWine 2026 is the expanded selection: 150 Italian wineries chosen by the experts of Wine Spectator. \nTo better tell the richness and complexity of Italian wine\, the selection was divided into three categories: \n\nLegacy Icons – 31 historic wineries featured in all editions of OperaWine\nClassic – 69 established producers representative of their territories\nNew Voices – 50 wineries founded from 1990 onward\, symbolizing the new generation of Italian wine\n\nAn effective way to show how Italian wine is built on a continuity between history and innovation\, where tradition and new energies coexist and reinforce each other. \nAs always\, OperaWine also offers a snapshot of Italy’s wine geography. Traditional territories that have contributed greatly to the international reputation of Italian wine for decades\, but coexist alongside emerging appellations and new interpreters of contemporary wine. \nVinitaly’s most prestigious preview\nOperaWine is the premiere event of Vinitaly\, the most elegant way to declare open the dances of the most important International Wine and Spirits Exhibition. All of these elements make OperaWine one of the most fascinating and most anticipated wine events on the entire Verona and Italian calendar. \nOver the course of a few hours\, OperaWine allows industry professionals to taste 150 iconic wines\, each representative of a winery and a region. \nThis is why the event has become over time the most prestigious preview of Vinitaly week\, a moment that anticipates trends\, celebrates excellence and tells the world about the extraordinary diversity of Italian wine. \nA collective toast that\, year after year\, continues to demonstrate how Italian wine is not only a product\, but a living cultural heritage. \nUseful information\nThe event is staged on Saturday\, April 11\, 2026 \nAdmission is by invitation only URL:https://www.doctorwine.wine/event/verona-operawine-2026/?lang=en LOCATION:Verona\, Verona\, Italy CATEGORIES:Tasting,Veneto Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.doctorwine.wine/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/OperaWine.png ORGANIZER;CN="VeronaFiere":MAILTO:pressoffice@veronafiere.it END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260411 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260413 DTSTAMP:20260502T212215 CREATED:20260310T090010Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260310T090010Z UID:53316-1775865600-1776038399@www.doctorwine.wine SUMMARY:Magré - SUMMA 2026 DESCRIPTION:SUMMA 2026: International meeting of winemakers with 115 producers from nine countries between organic and biodynamic wine returns to the Alois Lageder Estate\nOn April 11 and 12\, 2026\, one of the most special and fascinating events in the European wine scene returns: SUMMA\, the international meeting of winemakers hosted at the Alois Lageder Estate in Magrè on the Wine Road\, South Tyrol. \nEstablished over twenty-five years ago\, SUMMA is not a wine fair in the traditional sense of the term\, but a moment of authentic encounter between producers\, professionals and enthusiasts\, where dialogue and shared values are at the heart of the experience.

And this year our presence goes even beyond the product presentation\, which takes place within the Salone: the Fuorisalone is an invitation to conviviality and relationships\, and celebrates that dialogue between wine and music in which we have always believed. We do not want to propose a technical event or an exclusive gala\, but an authentic evening dedicated to the joy of celebrating Italian wine. As producers with close ties to Verona\, we feel the responsibility and pride to involve operators and wine lovers\, transforming each toast into an opportunity for encounters and new connections.” \nWonders Of White.

These are varieties obtained through genetic improvement programs that make it possible to significantly reduce the use of treatments in the vineyard\, representing one of the most discussed and promising issues today in terms of sustainability and adaptation to climate change. \nIrresistible Piwi was created precisely with the aim of recounting this transformation of viticulture\, creating a space for discussion among producers\, technicians\, researchers and enthusiasts. Not only tastings\, then\, but also popularization\, dialogue and technical insights on one of the most relevant topics for the future of the sector. \nA project dedicated to the future of viticulture\nThe event is conceived and organized by oenologists Luca De Palma and Igor Bonvento\, both profound connoisseurs of the wine world and for years engaged in the study and dissemination of resistant grape varieties. \nThe goal is to offer a meeting platform where we can really understand what Piwi are\, overcoming some commonplaces. The acronym\, in fact\, does not identify a type of wine but the vine varieties from which these wines originate\, a fundamental technical aspect that the event aims to communicate clearly and rigorously. \nAlso coming in 2026 to strengthen this path is the collaboration with PIWI Italia\, the national association that coordinates producers of resistant varieties and promotes proper communication on the subject. The synergy will lead to the organization of technical discussions\, master classes and in-depth meetings dedicated to sustainability\, agronomic innovation and the future prospects of viticulture. \nExhibition market and tastings\nThe heart of Irresistible Piwi will be the Exhibition Market\, where numerous companies will present wines made from resistant varieties from different Italian and European territories. \nParticipating wineries include\, among others\, Lieselehof\, Pravis\, Sartori Organic\, Resistenti Nicola Biasi\, Albafiorita\, Castello di Grumello\, Tenuta Gambalonga\, VinVentum\, Terre Alte di Alpago and Nove Lune\, joined by many others committed to the development and enhancement of Piwi grape varieties. \nAlongside the producers\, the world of viticultural research and breeding will also be present\, with focuses dedicated to genetic selection and rooted vine production.

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. \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. \nIn particular\, we will be featured in the following talks:\n\n\n\n\nSaturday\, May 2 – Gramsci Square \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3:00-4:30 p.m.: TALK SHOW “THE WINE YESTERDAY\, TODAY\, TOMORROW”: From demijohns to social: voices from different generations tell how wine has changed and how our way of drinking it has changed. Featuring: Gianni Pellicci (I Grandi Vini)\, Stefano Tesi (Civiltà del Bere)\, Riccardo Viscardi (DoctorWine)\, Simon Staffler (Falstaff)\n5:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. TALK SHOW “THE BEST YOUTH”: Young winemakers under 40 tell about the risks\, dreams and revolutions of making wine today\, between social\, sustainability and the future.\nFeaturing: Stefania Vinciguerra (DoctorWine)\, Marco Volpi and Filippo Massa (I Giovani del Derthona)\, Giulia Scalzini Michela Adriano and Elena Salviucci (Le Sbarbatelle)\n\n\n\n\n\nA widespread program\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. \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 URL:https://www.doctorwine.wine/event/suber-suvereto-wine-festival/?lang=en LOCATION:Giardini Consorzio Suvereto e Val di Cornia\, P.zza Montebello\, 1\, Suvereto\, Italy CATEGORIES:Tasting,Tuscany Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.doctorwine.wine/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/491498383_17896231179196000_7281040971252117173_n-e1776179010257.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Consorzio di tutela vini DOP Suvereto e Val di Cornia":MAILTO:info@suveretowine.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260502 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260503 DTSTAMP:20260502T212215 CREATED:20260424T102315Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260424T102315Z UID:55763-1777680000-1777766399@www.doctorwine.wine SUMMARY:All over Italy - The Winemaker's Saturday DESCRIPTION:Vintner’s Saturday returns throughout Italy from Saturday\, May 2\, 2026. For the 2026 edition\, the narrative of Independent Winemakers goes widespread! \nThroughout the month of May\, 21 appointments in special places on the peninsula to meet the Winemakers\, taste their wines and discover the identity of the territories through a renewed and dynamic formula. \nThe long-awaited annual appointment of Il Sabato del Vignaiolo\, the day designed by FIVI-Federazione Italiana Vignaioli Indipendenti with the support of Crédit Agricole-to tell the public and enthusiasts about the territorial realities of its more than 1\,800 members\, is back. \nAfter the success of past years\, the 2026 edition marks an important evolution. The event leaves the single national date to become a widespread event during all Saturdays of the month of May. The decision to spread the events over four weekends stems from the desire to respect the extraordinary climatic and meteorological diversity of our peninsula\, but not only.

Two days of tastings\, meetings and wine culture with the historic productions of Italian abbeys and the excellence of the Consorzi di Tutela of Calabria. \n\nAbbey Wines arrives for the first time in Calabria and chooses the Cistercian Abbey of Santa Maria della Matina in San Marco Argentano (CS) to present\, on Saturday\, May 2 and Sunday\, May 3\, a preview of the national edition that will take place in June in the Borgo di Fossanova\, Priverno (LT). \nAbbey Wines Calabria\nCreated in the wake of the success of the national edition held in Lazio\, the Calabrian leg of Vini d’Abbazia aims to enhance the link between monastic culture and viticulture\, bringing historical production experiences and contemporary territorial identities into dialogue. \nFor two days\, La Matina Abbey will become a meeting place for wine enthusiasts\, wine professionals and producers\, through a tasting itinerary that interweaves spirituality\, history and wine. The protagonists will be labels from Italian abbeys\, flanked by the productions of Calabrian protection consortia\, in a confrontation that crosses territories\, grape varieties and traditions. \nThe program will consist of tasting counters and in-depth moments\, offering the public the opportunity to discover both the historical dimension of monastic viticulture and the contemporary evolution of Calabrian wine. Guided tastings – entrusted to wine professionals – will take participants on a sensory journey dedicated to native grape varieties and their most representative expressions. \nVini d’Abbazia takes the form of a cultural project that restores centrality to the role of abbeys in the preservation of Europe’s wine-growing heritage\, reviving its value today through dialogue with territories. \nAn institutional strategy for the area’s wine renaissance\nThe first Calabrian edition of Vini d’Abbazia (Abbey Wines) is part of a context of strong dynamism for the regional wine sector\, the result of an institutional strategy that focuses firmly on the promotion of its agri-food excellence. \nThe initiative is supported by the Region of Calabria and ARSAC (Azienda Regionale per lo Sviluppo dell’Agricoltura Calabrese\, or Regional Agency for the Development of Calabrian Agriculture)\, as part of a broader plan to strengthen the territory’s role in the panorama of major international wine events. \nIn this direction are strategic choices that have brought landmark events such as Vinitaly and the City and Merano WineFestival to Calabria\, helping to consolidate the region’s image as a high-profile destination. \n“Vini d’Abbazia Calabria is part of a path that has already begun to enhance and promote the regional wine sector\,” says Calabria Region Agriculture Councillor Gianluca Gallo. “The intense activity put in place in recent years is yielding concrete results\, helping to strengthen Calabria’s positioning in the reference circuits of quality wine. In this context\, initiatives such as this one take on a strategic value: they not only promote our productions\, but also tell their deep roots\, interweaving identity\, history and contemporary capacity for innovation. It is through this balance that Calabria can consolidate its attractiveness and establish itself more and more as a major wine tourism destination “. \nThe Cistercian Abbey of Santa Maria della Matina\nThe heart of the event will be the Matina Abbey\, a complex of great historical and architectural value nestled in the landscape of inland Calabria. Founded in 1065 by Robert Guiscard\, the abbey represents significant evidence of the monastic presence in the area and its function as a spiritual and agricultural center\, offering\, between the chapter house and millennia-old cloisters\, a solemn and timeless breath. \n“Thanks to the support of the Region of Calabria\, we were able to host in the Abbey of Santa Maria della Matina the first edition in southern Italy of Vini d’Abbazia\,” says Michele Valentoni\, owner of the abbey and La Matina winery. “It is a source of pride for me to have made this place available\, helping to enhance a reality that is still little known but perfectly inserted in a national circuit of great importance.”\n“The initiative represents not only an important promotional opportunity\, but a real opportunity for meeting and shared appreciation\,” adds Judith Sandonato\, organizational soul and communications manager. “An authentic experience that connects culture\, history and wine production even geographically distant.” \nTickets available:\nTickets for Wines of Abbey Calabria are available online\, with the option to purchase admission for individual days: https://vinidabbazia.com/eventi/ URL:https://www.doctorwine.wine/event/san-marco-argentano-abbey-wines-calabria/?lang=en LOCATION:Abbazia La Matina\, San Marco Argentano (CS)\, Italy CATEGORIES:Tasting ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.doctorwine.wine/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Vini-dAbbazia-Calabria.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260502T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260503T190000 DTSTAMP:20260502T212215 CREATED:20260424T092649Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260424T092649Z UID:55748-1777719600-1777834800@www.doctorwine.wine SUMMARY:Panzano - Vino al Vino in Cantina 2026 DESCRIPTION:Vino al Vino in Cantina 2026\, May 2 and 3 in Panzano in Chianti for a journey to discover the wine excellence of Chianti Classico \nOn Saturday\, May 2 and Sunday\, May 3\, the appointment with “Vino al Vino in Cantina”\, promoted by theUnion of Winegrowers of Panzano in Chianti to celebrate the wine excellence of Chianti Classico.

On May 4\, 2026 it lands in Rome inside the iconic five-star Tridentine hotel\, Palazzo Ripetta\, which since its opening has established itself as a reference point for wine lovers. \nA natural evolution for a format born within the Milano Wine Week that\, keeping its identity intact\, expands its scope with the aim of building connections\, generating confrontation and strengthening the role of dining professionals in the contemporary restaurant system. Goals that have always been stated by the project’s creator and MWW president Federico Gordini. >”Arriving in Rome\, for the first time\, with Wine List on Tour means more than just adding a stage to our journey: it means entering the symbolic heart of Italian hospitality and one of the world capitals of dining\,” Gordini explains. “It is the culminating moment of a journey that today increasingly coincides with a movement capable of involving professionals\, restaurants and wineries throughout Italy\, with the aim of building a new awareness around the value of the dining room.” \nSommeliers and the tasting format\nAt the center of the project remain sommeliers\, key figures in the mediation between production and consumption\, who are increasingly crucial in the construction of thegastronomic experience. For the Rome leg\, 50 professionals will be involved. They will be selected from some of the best addresses in Lazio\, Tuscany\, Emilia-Romagna\, Marche\, Umbria\, Abruzzo\, Molise and Sardinia. Each will present six labels\, for a total of 300 wines\, according to a format that alternates territorial rootedness and personal research. >The selection follows a precise structure but is open to individual interpretation: three wines linked to the territory of reference\, an expression of landscape\, culture and traditions; a “gem” discovered in one’s professional career; a proposal of bubbles and a wine designed for service by the glass. A system that allows the audience to read the wine through the eyes of those who live it daily in the room\, transforming the tasting into a direct and personal story. \nThe program for the day on May 4\nThe May 4 day hosted by Palazzo Ripetta will be divided into two main moments. The morning (from 11 a.m.) will be dedicated to the conference “The present and future of sommellerie and room service.” It will be an opportunity to discuss the strategic role of the dining room professions and the need to make them increasingly attractive to new generations as well. During the meeting\, the “Wine List on Tour | Rome” guide will be presented \, a printed and digital publication that collects the profiles of the leading sommeliers and the selection of labels.In the afternoon\, from 3 to 9 p.m.\, space will be given to the Grand Tasting. 50 stations manned directly by the sommeliers will offer the public of operators\, press and enthusiasts the opportunity to taste the selected wines and discuss them with those who every day narrate and propose them in the room. A format that makes the work of sommellerie visible in a direct and accessible way\, focusing on the relationship between professional and guest. \nThe Senate Award\nAlongside the May 4 event\, the project continues the following day with an institutional moment. On May 5 \, in fact\, at the Senate of the Republic\, the first edition of the Italian Room Excellence Award will be held\, promoted by Milano Wine Week and Wine List Italia. An award designed to enhance the protagonists of the dining room who\, through competence\, vision and professional rigor\, contribute to the growth and prestige of the Italian restaurant industry.

The event is conceived and organized by SO2 Enoteca\, a wine shop and distributor of natural wines rooted in the territory\, and Solovino Enoteca\, a reality active in the organization of reference events in the sector such as Vini Selvaggi\, Convivium Renaissance\, Vin’Aia and other projects dedicated to natural wine. \nQuartiere Vino Pigneto was created with the aim of enhancing wine as a cultural and territorial expression\, focusing on producers who work with respect for the land and people. Protagonists are authentic and artisanal wines\, far from industrial logics\, told directly by the winemakers who produce them. \nWhat’s New 2026\nThe 2026 edition introduces new access modes and new spaces dedicated to creativity\, designed to make the experience even more fluid and engaging. In fact\, to facilitate participation\, two pass pick-up points have been planned\, where visitors can pick up their goblet and wristband before starting the route: Nuccitelli Square and SO2 Distribution. \nAt Nuccitelli Square will be the artists\, illustrators and cartoonists of VinArt Est\, a new project that combines wine with a market dedicated to illustrators\, artists and creative people who will exhibit their works all day Saturday and Sunday starting at 12 p.m. Some of them will also be present in selected venues in the neighborhood\, enriching the tasting route with artistic interventions and works along the event circuit. \nSunday at Nuccitelli Square will also feature the Ciriola food truck & bar with SO2’s natural wines and the participation of some surprise guest winemakers. \nTalks and debates will also be held during the day on Saturday\, also at Nuccitelli Square\, with a schedule to be published soon on the event’s official social channels. \nAnother novelty concerns the introduction of two new recommended routes\, marked on the map and designed to guide the public among the district’s venues from north to south. This is a way to experience the event more quietly\, avoiding crowds and allowing people to discover all the stops along the route. \nQuartiere Vino Pigneto is not a traditional fair\, but a walking experience: you enter the neighborhood venues\, meet the winemakers\, taste the wines and listen to the stories that are born in the vineyards. \nNot just wine: neighborhood walks and workshops\nQuartiere Vino Pigneto is also a time to meet and discover the area: walks will be organized to discover the old taverns and stories of Pigneto. The walks will be led by historian Guido Farinelli of the Bella Storia association\, who will accompany participants through stories\, anecdotes and urban transformations of the neighborhood. Participation in the walk costs 5 euros per person\, and it will soon be possible to book guided tours online\, with the possibility of integrating the walk with the event’s tasting route. \nThe neighborhood’s craft businesses also become an integral part of the event\, opening their spaces and welcoming the vintners. Stores\, workshops and stores thus become stages along the route\, allowing the public to come into contact with the work of artisans and the creative energy that characterizes Pigneto. \nHow it works\nParticipating is simple: by purchasing a pass you receive a goblet and bracelet\, with which to begin the journey among the participating establishments in the neighborhood. The tastings take place directly at the counters set up in the bars\, wine bars and restaurants of Pigneto\, where the winemakers tell about their work\, the territory they come from and their production philosophy.\nOn Saturday\, May 9\, the cash desk for collecting the pass and the goblet will be open as early as 12 noon\, both at Enoteca SO2 and at the pick-up point in Piazza Nuccitelli\, where it will be possible to start the day with the artists of VinArt Est\, food trucks and natural wines. For one day\, the neighborhood thus becomes a large natural wine itinerary\, where the public can move freely among the different stops. \nMain partnerMain partner of the 2026 edition is Necci dal 1924\, a symbolic place of Pigneto and cultural and gastronomic reference point of the neighborhood\, which will help make the heart of the event even more central and recognizable.\n\nInformation\nSaturday\, May 9 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. \nTickets available at: www.quartierevinopigneto.it \nThe event is organized under the auspices of the Fifth Municipality of Rome URL:https://www.doctorwine.wine/event/rome-pigneto-wine-district-2026/?lang=en LOCATION:Quartiere Pigneto\, Piazza Nuccitelli\, Roma\, Italy CATEGORIES:Rome Events,Tasting ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.doctorwine.wine/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Quartiere-Vino-Pigneto.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260509 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260510 DTSTAMP:20260502T212215 CREATED:20260424T103429Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260424T103429Z UID:55769-1778284800-1778371199@www.doctorwine.wine SUMMARY:All over Italy - The Winemaker's Saturday DESCRIPTION:Vintner’s Saturday returns across Italy every Saturday in May 2026.
