The walk-around tasting —a staple of recent editions featuring fifty of Italy’s most prestigious wines— has also been confirmed . \nOn November 14 and 15\, the eighth edition of the Monza Wine Experience will kick off in Monza\, a wine event dedicated to wine enthusiasts\, collectors\, and industry professionals. \nThe event will take place at the Sporting Club in Monza\, where a walk-around tasting will be held on Sunday\, November 15\, featuring approximately 50 of the finest wines from the Italian wine scene presented by the producers\, as well as a historic tasting of Masseto\, the Merlot considered the “Italian Petrus\,” hosted atthe Hotel de la Ville on the afternoon of Saturday\, November 14. \nThe First Masseto Vertical Tasting\nMonza Wine continues to establish itself as one of the most sought-after events on the wine scene\, thanks to its ability to feature some of the rarest and most prized wines from the Italian peninsula\, making them available to the general public. \nIt is against this backdrop that the first Masseto tasting open to the public—ever organized by the Tuscan estate in Italy—takes place. A vertical tasting (that is\, tasting the same wine from different vintages) spanning four decades and featuring six vintages of this great Tuscan Merlot \nWe’ll start with the latest vintage available—the 2023\, which has just been released. The 2020 vintage\, a very well-balanced one. The 2015\, which\, thanks to its power\, stands as one of the cult vintages of the 2000s. The 2005\, which has proven its worth over the long term. Then we’ll return to the legendary 2001\, a true symbol of Masseto’s excellence\, considered—along with the 1985 Sassicaia—one of the benchmarks of Italian winemaking. We’ll conclude with the 1997\, a legendary vintage for Tuscany in the 1990s. \nAll wines will be served from Magnum-sized bottles (1.5 liters) sourced directly from the estate\, underscoring the exceptional nature of the tasting. \nMasseto\nAccording to Winesearcher.com\, Masseto is one of Italy’s most expensive and sought-after wines\, and one of the world’s finest red wines. In 2023\, a Nebuchadnezzar (15 liters) from the 2010 vintage fetched the astronomical sum of 56\,250 euros at a Sotheby’s auction. \n“I am particularly excited to trace the first four decades of Masseto’s history in what I believe is the first vertical tasting ever organized in Italy\, chronicling its evolution and expression over time\,” explains Lamberto Frescobaldi\, President and CEO of the estate. \nJoining him for the tasting will be Marco Balsimelli\, technical director at Masseto and one of the rising stars of European winemaking—a native of Tuscany with extensive experience working alongside Eric Boissenot\, a consultant to Bordeaux’s greatest châteaux. Aldo Fiordelli\, journalist and senior editor at James Suckling\, will host the tasting. \n“This is a one-of-a-kind event featuring one of the top three most highly valued wines among Italy’s great labels\, alongside Conterno’s Barolo Monfortino and Roagna’s Barbaresco Crichet Pajé. However\, it’s not just about the wonderful opportunity to taste these oenological gems\, but also to take part in a historic experience that we believe represents nearly 50 years of Italian wine culture at its very best\,” commented Aldo Fiordelli. \nThe Program\nThe Masseto tasting will be reserved for approximately 30 wine enthusiasts who manage to secure a spot at the event\, scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Saturday\, November 14\, in the ballroom of the Hotel de la Ville in Monza. The tasting will be led by a team of professional sommeliers. The glasses used to taste this incredible selection of wines will be the refined Zalto Bordeaux glasses\, from the Austrian glass manufacturer that is now among the most sought-after by wine enthusiasts. The price of the tasting will be 350 euros per person. \nOn Sunday\, November 15\, from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.\, “L’Eccellenza in Villa\,” the beating heart of the Monza Wine Experience\, returns to the Sporting Club in Monza. A walk-around tasting featuring approximately 50 of the finest Italian wines\, selected with the help of Aldo Fiordelli. \nThis showcases the finest wines of the Italian Peninsula\, featuring producers such as Biondi-Santi\, Antinori – Guado al Tasso\, Burlotto\, Roagna\, Poggio di Sotto\, San Leonardo\, Bertani\, Ferrari Trento\, Isole e Olena\, Castello di Monsanto\, Tenuta San Filippo\, Castell’in Villa\, Trinoro\, Terlano\, Passo Pisciaro\, Biserno\, and others.

This is demonstrated by the international origin of the buyers expected in Naples on November 15: a concrete sign of interest in our finest products and of the opportunities that Gustus offers businesses to tap into new markets. It is a newer event\, but one with a clear ambition: to introduce the world to the products of our land\, so they can discover\, choose\, and purchase them.” \nThe 12th edition of Gustus\, the professional agri-food trade show\nRecognized as an international trade show by the Association of Italian Trade Fair Organizers and ICE—the Italian Institute for Foreign Trade—and organized by Progecta\, it is reserved exclusively for direct producers and industry professionals. \nThe exhibition area\, which spans approximately 8\,000 square meters\, includes Halls 2-3 and 3B of the Fuorigrotta exhibition center and is preparing to welcome exhibitors from every sector: from pasta manufacturers to meat and cured meats\, from frozen foods to seafood—with a strong presence of Mediterranean seafood—from dairy products to premium olive oils and pastries\, as well as professional kitchens\, foodservice technology\, and logistics. \nAnd once again at Gustus\, the most important trade show in Central and Southern Italy for food and technology in the professional kitchen and restaurant industry\, numerous international buyers —selected by ICE\, which also organized the schedule of meetings to be held at the exhibitors’ booths—will be in attendance\, coming from South Korea\, India\, Bulgaria\, Germany\, Indonesia\, Canada\, Colombia\, Argentina\, Uruguay\, Hungary\, Croatia\, and Ghana. \n“The event\, which is constantly growing and has become a benchmark for the sector in Central and Southern Italy\,” adds Serluca\, “will offer an important opportunity to strengthen the visibility and market positioning of Campania-based companies in national and international markets. On behalf of our consortium of agri-food companies\, we will promote a rich program of initiatives\, including cooking demonstrations\, promotional activities\, and meetings with international buyers\, with the goal of fostering new commercial and internationalization opportunities\, while highlighting the stories behind our products of excellence—an authentic expression of the quality and innovative capacity of Campania’s agri-food sector.” \n  \nUseful information\n\nWhen: Sunday\, November 15\, through Tuesday\, November 17\, 2026 — 10:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.\nWhere: Mostra d’Oltremare\, Naples\nOfficial website: https://gustusnapoli.com/ URL:https://www.doctorwine.wine/event/naples-gustus-2026/?lang=en LOCATION:Mostra d’Oltremare\, viale Kennedy 54\, Napoli\, Italy CATEGORIES:Campania Events,Fair,Tasting ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/avif:https://www.doctorwine.wine/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/Gustus.avif END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20261116 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261117 DTSTAMP:20261004T153852Z CREATED:20261004T153852Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261004T153852Z UID:65725-1794787200-1794873599@www.doctorwine.wine SUMMARY:5 WOW!

An evening of excellence\, culture and sensitivity\, the proceeds of which will support two projects dedicated to young people and solidarity. \nVeronelli’s ideas\, five chefs at work\, great Italian wines\, and a venue of refined\, historic beauty. These are the ingredients of a dinner that brings together—for one evening only—some of the most significant stories\, talents\, and sensibilities in Italian gastronomy. \nOn Wednesday\, November 18\, 2026\, the Convent of the Neveri in Bariano (BG) will host Riccardo Monco of Enoteca Pinchiorri\, Ugo Alciati of Guido Ristorante\, Salvatore Morello of Inkiostro\, Ezio Gritti\, a Veronellian chef\, and Roberto “Bobo” Cerea of Da Vittorio. This special venue is home to IL VERONELLI\, the permanent exhibition space that preserves and recounts the life and work of the founder of gastronomic and wine criticism in Italy. \nThey come together in honor of Luigi Veronelli\, on the centennial of his birth\, through the themes that most deeply permeated his work: the culture of the land and the table\, the pursuit of quality\, and the joy of discovery. \nIn Search of Lost Foods\nThe event is sponsored by the Luigi Veronelli Permanent Seminar\, the nonprofit association founded by Veronelli himself in 1986\, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. \nThe central theme is encapsulated in a title:“In Search of Lost Foods\,”the famous book that Veronelli published in 1968. In Italy during the economic boom\, while the uniformity of flavors seemed to promise progress\, he traveled the country in search of products\, recipes\, and knowledge that were in danger of disappearing. He sought out and chronicled those “gastronomic treasures” in which he recognized the richness of the regions and the dignity of farm labor. \nThat insight gives rise to the theme of the evening.“Lost food”also comes to represent what we risk losing sight of: the complexity of an everyday ingredient\, the memory preserved in a dish\, the rhythm of the seasons\, and the value of the work required to bring a flavor to the table. Each dish will spark a dialogue with Veronelli’s philosophy. Roots meet ideas\, memory fuels new possibilities\, and haute cuisine draws our attention back to what habit sometimes prevents us from recognizing. \nFive chefs\, five stories\, a once-in-a-lifetime event: The evening will begin with a sumptuous trio of welcome appetizers\, prepared by Alessandro Salsano\, chef at the Convento dei Neveri restaurant. \nRiccardo Monco\, Chef at Enoteca Pinchiorri in Florence\nThis amazing culinary journey will really get underway with Riccardo Monco\, Chef at Enoteca Pinchiorri in Florence\, who has made research\, the quality of ingredients\, and the balance between tradition and innovation his hallmark. \nHis multifaceted “100% Zucca”—a slice of yellow pumpkin in a marinade\, pumpkin fondue with chickpea miso\, and crispy polenta with fried pumpkin seeds —reveals the greatness of a humble ingredient. A staple of vegetable gardens\, pantries\, and farm kitchens\, the pumpkin takes center stage\, revealing unexpected textures and possibilities. The nod to Veronelli lies in the perspective: recognizing the value of a garden-grown product—humble yet noble—whose expressive vitality must be preserved. \nUgo Alciati\, di Guido Ristorante a Serralunga d’Alba\nNext up are the famous Agnolotti del Plin with a sauce made fromRoast by Ugo Alciati\, of Guido Ristorante in Serralunga d’Alba. A classic yet contemporary dish that embodies the history of a family and a place. The son of Guido Alciati and Lidia Vanzino—pioneers of a pivotal era in Italian haute cuisine—Ugo revitalizes their legacy with an approach that blends precision\, seasonality\, and respect for the ingredients. In his plin\, food lost It is a form of knowledge rooted in great manual skill: the meticulous act of sealing the pasta\, the preparation of the filling\, the cutting of the pasta sheets. This knowledge spans generations and aligns with a deeply Veronellian belief: the cuisine of a region continues to live on when someone takes care of it and passes it on to future generations. \nSalvatore Morello\, chef at Inkiostro in Parma\nSalvatore Morello\, chef at Inkiostro in Parma\, will present his own take on an iconic crustacean: Grilled lobster\, Emilian curry\, Bimi broccoli\, and bergamot. It is an explicit invitation to rediscover the ingredient beyond its fame: its nature\, its flavor\, and the knowledge needed to understand and cook it. A call to that pursuit of quality which\, for Veronelli\, began with knowledge and the ability to recognize the intrinsic identity of a raw ingredient. \nEzio Gritti\, un grande cuoco caro a Veronelli\nIt will be Ezio Gritti—a great chef who was dear to Veronelli and who shared culinary journeys and evenings with him in Bergamo—who will give voice to the calls of the forest and the depth of autumn\, with the Venison Sirloin in a Light Licorice and Mint Sauce\, with Shallots Braised in Chestnut Honey. Game\, sweetness\, and aromatic notes come together to create a dish with character\, one that evokes a landscape. The lost food There is also a sense of familiarity here that has faded: that with game cuisine\, with its connection to the seasons and its intense\, less familiar flavors\, which call for attention and curiosity. \nA selection of Luigi Guffanti cheeses\nA selection of Luigi Guffanti cheeses will\, in turn\, restore value to time: the time of aging\, of waiting\, of care. In every bite\, a wealth of artisanal knowledge and the sensitivity of those who guide the transformation of the raw material. A tribute to the world of producers and artisans to whom Veronelli gave a voice and recognition. From the aging cellars of Arona\, various interpretations of Italy’s art of cheese-making will find their way to Veronelli’s table. \nRoberto “Bobo” Cerea of Da Vittorio\nThe finale will be presented by Roberto “Bobo” Cerea of Da Vittorio\, whose Monte Bianco will bring the spirit of the Cerea family to the table: a taste for hospitality\, the generosity of the gesture\, the joy of surprising\, and a celebration of seasonal ingredients and festive joy. \nAt this table\, the joy to be rediscovered will also be a ritual: taking time to share a meal and prolonging the pleasure of being together. Celebrating life\, in a spirit that runs through Veronelli’s work and resonates with the history of the Cerea family. \nIn the Glasses\, Wine as a Story\nAccompanying the dishes is a selection of great Italian wines\, each reflecting its region and the winemaker’s vision. \nWine will be a story\, a discovery\, an emotion. Just as in Veronelli’s work\, in which he was able to recognize and bring to light the greatness of a vineyard\, the personality of a winemaker\, and the beauty and value of Italy’s great vineyards. Wines of exceptional quality—among those most cherished by Luigi Veronelli\, who forged sincere and lasting bonds with those winemakers—will be poured into our glasses. \nBetween courses\, Veronelli’s insights will weave together words and flavors\, thought and conviviality. \nA place of history\, beauty\, and living memory\nRoman relics\, frescoes\, and convent architecture span the centuries\, making the Convent of the Neveri a place of rare charm. A meticulous restoration project has brought to light the richness of this complex\, which today serves as a space for hospitality and gathering. In this setting\, which preserves the memory of Veronelli\, dinner takes on a special meaning: his work becomes an occasion for gathering\, and his ideas come to life once more through the act of sharing a meal. \nThe pleasure of being there\, the value in contributing\nProceeds from the evening will be donated to support two projects dedicated to young people\, the future\, and solidarity\, all in a Veronelli-esque way. \n\nThe establishment\, within the Oro Veronelli Guida Sensorial Project\, of a youth academy of young tasters\, trained by the Veronelli Seminary according to Veronelli principles\, aiming to maximize the valorization and dissemination of the excellence of Italian wine production.\nThe establishment of environmental and food education workshops for girls and boys in Italy and support for a women farmers’ project in Agadez\, Niger\, with training in sustainable vegetable production techniques aimed at giving local families greater food security. Two education and cooperation programs managed by the Acra Foundation.\n\nIt will\, therefore\, be a special table\, to be accommodated to share excellence and contribute to the commitment to a common future. In the name of that relationship between pleasure\, culture and responsibility that has spanned Veronelli’s entire life. \nUseful information\n\nDinner in homage to Luigi Veronelli on the centenary of his birth\nWednesday\, November 18\, 2026\, 8:00 PM\nConvent of the Nevers – Via per Romano 17\, Bariano (BG)\nInformation and reservations: seminaveronelli.com tel. 035 0740293\nhttps://www.seminarioveronelli.com/prodotto/cena-100-veronelli/ URL:https://www.doctorwine.wine/event/bariano-in-search-of-forgotten-foods-2/?lang=en LOCATION:Convento dei Neveri\, Via per Romano 17\, Bariano (BG)\, Italy CATEGORIES:Events Lombardy,Tasting ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.doctorwine.wine/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/Doctor-Wine-Calendario-13.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20261118 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261119 DTSTAMP:20261106T095933Z CREATED:20261106T093612Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261106T095933Z UID:67302-1794960000-1795046399@www.doctorwine.wine SUMMARY:Bariano - In Search of Forgotten Foods DESCRIPTION:In Search of Lost Foods: A dinner at the pinnacle of Italian cuisine and wines\, under the banner of Luigi Veronelli\nOn November 18th\, at the Convento dei Neveri\, five great interpreters of Italian gastronomy will meet to celebrate the centenary of Veronelli’s birth.

The project dedicated to one of the most fascinating stories in the world of wine\, winner of the 2026 Iter Vitis Award\nMalvasia Pop-Up\nMalvasia Pop Up™ is a cultural and food-and-wine project conceived in Venice by Laura Riolfatto—a cultural project manager\, wine storyteller\, and sommelier— dedicated to researching and promoting the nineteen varieties of Italian Malvasia and their historical ties to Venice and the Mediterranean. \nAt Docks Cantieri Cucchini in San Pietro di Castello \, as well as along routes extending to the city of Venice and the lagoon\, the project takes shape through social events where wine and food are the focal points of conversation among people\, lagoon cruises\, urban tours\, and special gatherings. \nRecently\, Malvasia Pop Up™ received The Iter Vitis Award 2026 – Best Wine and Food Experience for its contribution to promoting wine heritage\, cultural tourism\, and sustainable regional development. The award—sponsored by Iter Vitis\, the international federation that celebrates and protects the world’s wine heritage by promoting sustainable wine tourism – recognized the value of an independent project that uses the Wine heritage as a tool for knowledge and cultural storytelling. In addition\, on that occasion Laura Riolfatto has been named Malvasia Ambassador for Malvasia Myth\, an international project dedicated to promoting Malvasia wines and their cultural and viticultural heritage. \n“Malvasia Pop Up was born from a very simple question\, – says its creator\, Laura Riolfatto – ‘How many stories can we tell starting with a glass of Malvasia?’ From there\, I embarked on a journey that led me to bring together wine\, history\, art\, food\, photography\, and culinary culture\, exploring the deep connection that links Malvasia wines to Venice and the Mediterranean. Receiving this award means seeing this very approach to wine recognized—not merely as something to be tasted\, but as a language through which to convey culture\, memory\, and history.” \nEvent Calendar\n\nOctober 17\, toward evening\, in the Lagoon will take Malvasia Pop Up™ out onto the water\, aboard Camoma’s historic bragozzo\, the Sant’Alban\, for a journey through the Venetian Lagoon at the intersection of wine\, landscape\, and memory. The boat trip—which will depart from San Pietro di Castello—will become part of the narrative: the history of Malvasia\, its trade\, and its centuries-old connection to Venice will intertwine with that of Dorona\, the lagoon’s iconic grape variety. A stop at Vignole\, amid vegetable gardens and the lagoon landscape\, will feature a tasting and an introduction to the island’s culinary delights\, before returning to Venice as evening falls. An experience designed to explore the lagoon through wine\, following the traces of a culture born from the encounter between water\, land\, and the vine.\nOn November 20\, it will be time for The Night of the Malvasias—Stories\, Mysteries\, and Wine in Autumn Venice: a special event featuring Venetian writer and storyteller Alberto Toso Fei\, in which stories\, legends\, and anecdotes from Venice’s most secret corners will intertwine with the history of Malvasia and the traces this wine has left in the city over the centuries. The story will continue at the table with a tasting of three rare Italian red Malvasia wines\, on a journey through regions\, grape varieties\, and memory\, organized in collaboration with Iter Vitis\, a Cultural Route of the Council of Europe and with the Consortium for the Protection of Malvasia di Casorzo DOC. The event will take place at the Cantieri Cucchini Docks inside Tesa3 Marzotto.\nOn December 20\, the 2026 program will conclude with The Table as a Cultural Language\, a lunch and storytelling event dedicated to Italian red Malvasia wines. The table as a meeting place for wine\, food\, and culture\, where the tasting becomes the thread of a story that weaves through territories\, traditions\, memories\, and gestures of conviviality. Red Malvasia wines\, in their various expressions\, will accompany a gastronomic journey designed to convey—through taste—the identity of the places from which they originate. An intimate gathering for a select few guests\, on the eve of Christmas\, that will symbolically bring the second year of Malvasia Pop Up™ to a close by returning wine to its most ancient and universal dimension: that of the table as a space for connection\, storytelling\, and sharing. The event will take place at the Cantieri Cucchini Docks inside Tesa3 Marzotto.\n\nVia Querinissima\n Malvasia Pop Up™ is also part of the Via Querinissima network —the European Cultural Route that retraces the journey undertaken in the 15th century by the Venetian nobleman and merchant Pietro Querini.

Buyers\, distributors\, agents\, importers\, Ho.Re.Ca. operators\, and industry professionals will gather in Puglia to forge new connections between supply and demand. \nThe wine business is coming to Puglia. On November 22 and 23\, 2026\, the Paestum Wine Fest Business will take place at the Grand Hotel Vigna Nocelli in Lucera (FG)\, bringing the event’s B2B focus and its ability to forge meaningful relationships between companies and industry professionals to the region. \nThe Apulian event was not conceived as an event dedicated exclusively to regional production\, but rather as a business networking platform designed to connect supply and demand\, bringing together industry professionals from Apulia and neighboring regions\, with the goal of developing new opportunities for distribution\, collaboration\, and business. \nOver the course of two days\, wineries and industry professionals will have the opportunity to meet in a professional setting dedicated to discussion and networking. Buyers\, distributors\, agents\, importers\, Ho.Re.Ca. professionals\, wine shops\, agencies\, and industry experts will have the chance to discover new producers\, expand their networks\, and identify new business opportunities. \nApulia as a hub connecting markets and regions\nThe choice of Puglia represents a strategic step in the development of the Paestum Wine Fest Business. Due to its geographic location and central role in the economic and tourism landscape of Southern Italy\, the Puglia region offers the opportunity to tap into a network of operators that extends beyond regional borders. \nThe goal is to build a network of business relationships capable of connecting companies to their target markets and\, at the same time\, facilitating the entry of new operators into the PWF Business network. \nApulia thus becomes a hub where production\, distribution\, the restaurant industry\, hospitality\, and markets converge—in a model where the host region serves as the platform\, while business is the true protagonist. \n“Our commitment is to build an increasingly robust network of connections\, relationships\, and opportunities for the Italian wine industry in Southern Italy. Puglia represents an important step along this path: we don’t simply want to bring an event to a new region\, but to create a platform capable of effectively connecting wineries\, industry professionals\, and markets\,” says Angelo Zarra. – “With Lucera\, we want to facilitate the alignment of supply and demand\, involving not only Puglia but also neighboring regions and operators who view the South as a strategic market. Our goal is to make the Paestum Wine Fest Business a place where professional relationships can turn into new business opportunities for Italian wine.” \nB2B Meetings and Networking: The Core of the Format\n The event brings together professional meetings and networking opportunities\, designed to foster direct dialogue between producers and market participants. \nSo it’s not just about tasting\, but above all about building relationships\, gaining knowledge\, and creating opportunities to develop new partnerships. \nThe Paestum Wine Fest Business format\, therefore\, brings to Lucera a model in which networking among industry professionals becomes a practical tool for discovering new products\, identifying new business partners\, and gaining a deeper understanding of the needs of various markets. \nThe program will be rounded out by masterclasses\, tastings\, and in-depth sessions focused on the evolution of the industry\, market dynamics\, and the changes currently taking place in the world of wine. \nA monitoring center for market trends\n The Apulia event will also serve as an opportunity to discuss the changes currently taking place in the sector: new distribution models\, shifts in consumer behavior\, developments in the Ho.Re.Ca. market\, innovation\, sustainability\, and new forms of communication. \nThe Paestum Wine Fest Business thus reinforces its role as a think tank and forum for discussion\, where different areas of expertise\, experiences\, and perspectives can come together to interpret market changes and transform them into new opportunities. \nPWF Wine Club: Expertise Across the Supply Chain\nAmong the event’s highlights is the PWF Wine Club\, a project dedicated to promoting the professionalism of the sommelier profession and the role of the sommelier as an ambassador and communicator of wine culture. \nThe project was created to foster meaningful connections between producers\, foodservice professionals\, and consumers\, while promoting an appreciation for local regions\, the quality of local products\, and expertise within the Ho.Re.Ca. sector. \nTwo days to create new opportunities\nThe Paestum Wine Fest Business\, even in this new edition\, is therefore designed as an event where wine serves as a starting point for building professional and business relationships. \nA format that brings its B2B identity to a strategic region and looks beyond the individual event\, with the goal of creating an ever-expanding network among companies and industry professionals\, thereby strengthening commercial ties between Puglia and the central and southern regions. \nInfo and schedule: Paestum Wine Fest – Puglia 2026 URL:https://www.doctorwine.wine/event/lucera-paestum-wine-fest-business/?lang=en LOCATION:Grand Hotel Vigna Nocelli\, Lucera (FG)\, Italy CATEGORIES:Events Apulia,Tasting ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.doctorwine.wine/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/Paestum.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20261122 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261124 DTSTAMP:20261022T092939Z CREATED:20261022T082535Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261022T092939Z UID:66364-1795305600-1795478399@www.doctorwine.wine SUMMARY:Sestri Levante – The Wine Revolution 2026 DESCRIPTION:The Wine Revolution: On November 22 and 23\, the event dedicated to artisanal wine and independent producers returns to Sestri Levante\nNatural Wine: Winemakers and Regions\nOn Sunday\, November 22\, and Monday\, November 23\, 2026\,the former Convent of the Annunziata\, in Sestri Levante’s Baia del Silenzio\, will host the ninth edition of The Wine Revolution\, an event dedicated to artisanal wine and producers who approach viticulture with a focus on the local territory and natural practices. \nThe event brings together Italian and international winemakers\, offering the public the chance to taste their wines\, purchase bottles\, and meet the producers in person.

From November 27 to 29\, the volcano’s Metodo Classico takes center stage.\nCan a region be recognized by its sparkling wines\, even while expressing profoundly different styles? This question will be explored through a series of five blind tastings\, meetings with producers\, and a grand closing event at Palazzo Biscari in Catania. The focus will be on Nerello Mascalese and Carricante and the search for a recognizable identity in the glass. \nNow in its eighth edition\, Spumanti dell’Etna returns in 2026 with a three-day event dedicated to the classic method of winemaking in the Etna region. A variety of events and experiences—including winery tours\, tastings\, and opportunities for discussion—will take place from Friday\, November 27\, through Sunday\, November 29\, leading up to the closing gala evening\, which will be held in the magnificent Baroque hall of Palazzo Biscari in the historic center of Catania. \nThis event\, which has grown and become well-established over the years and is promotedby the Etna Sparkling Wines Association\, underscores the product’s positive performance and the constant attention that consumers\, industry professionals\, and the trade press devote to the production of sparkling wines from the volcano in all their various forms. \nThe 2026 program consists of five themed blind tasting sessions\, designed to explore the various expressions of the Etna Metodo Classico: from Blanc de Noirs to historic productions\, from sparkling wines made from white grapes to rosés\, and even wines aged for extended periods on the lees. A distinctive feature of the masterclasses will be the inclusion of a few “intruder” wines\, sourced from other Italian and international regions and selected for their stylistic similarities. This is a comparison free of labels\, designed to transcend preconceptions tied to a wine’s origin and the prestige of its brand\, allowing the wine itself to reveal its true character. The goal is to explore the existence of a distinct Etna character that can be discerned in the glass through the various interpretations of the Metodo Classico. \nSchedule\nFriday\, November 27: \n\n6:00 p.m.\, “Etna in Black\, ” dedicated to Blanc de Noirs made from Nerello Mascalese.\n\nSaturday\, November 28: \n\n10:00 a.m.\, Vineyard tour\, Murgo (Santa Venerina)\n11:00 a.m.“The Origins of an Idea\,”a journey through the pioneering wines that contributed to the birth of Etna sparkling wine production.\n5:00 p.m.\, Winery tour\, Benanti (Viagrande) \n7:00 p.m. “The White Face of the Volcano\, ” an event dedicated to Carricante and its interpretation as a sparkling wine.\n\nSunday\, November 29 \n\nAt 11:00 a.m.\, “Etna in Rosa”will explore the various expressions of rosé made from Nerello Mascalese.\nAt 4:00 p.m.\, “Oltre il tempo\,” held at Palazzo Biscari\, will be dedicated to extended aging on the lees and the ability of Etna’s Metodo Classico to evolve over time.\nFrom 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM\, the grand tasting event— the grand finale of the festival — will bring together over twenty wineries\, guest producers\, and leading figures in Sicilian food and wine excellence. It will allow the public to meet the producers in person and discover the various interpretations of the volcano’s sparkling wines\, accompanied by a culinary journey curated by numerous Sicilian chefs.\n\nTickets and information at www.spumantidelletna.it URL:https://www.doctorwine.wine/event/catania-etna-sparkling-wines-2026/?lang=en LOCATION:Palazzo Biscari\, Catania\, Italy CATEGORIES:Sicily Events,Tasting ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.doctorwine.wine/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/Doctor-Wine-Calendario-6-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20261128 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261129 DTSTAMP:20261101T161950Z CREATED:20261101T161610Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261101T161950Z UID:66824-1795824000-1795910399@www.doctorwine.wine SUMMARY:Rome – Presentation of the Bibenda 2027 Guide DESCRIPTION:Bibenda 2027: The new Guide will be presented on November 28 in Rome\, along with the “Festa dei 5 Grappoli” festival\nThe New Edition of the Guide\nOn Saturday\, November 28\, 2026\, the Hotel Rome Cavalieri will host the national presentation of Bibenda 2027\, the new edition of the guide published by the Italian Sommelier Foundation.

The project dedicated to one of the most fascinating stories in the world of wine\, winner of the 2026 Iter Vitis Award\nMalvasia Pop-Up\nMalvasia Pop Up™ is a cultural and food-and-wine project conceived in Venice by Laura Riolfatto—a cultural project manager\, wine storyteller\, and sommelier— dedicated to researching and promoting the nineteen varieties of Italian Malvasia and their historical ties to Venice and the Mediterranean. \nAt Docks Cantieri Cucchini in San Pietro di Castello \, as well as along routes extending to the city of Venice and the lagoon\, the project takes shape through social events where wine and food are the focal points of conversation among people\, lagoon cruises\, urban tours\, and special gatherings. \nRecently\, Malvasia Pop Up™ received The Iter Vitis Award 2026 – Best Wine and Food Experience for its contribution to promoting wine heritage\, cultural tourism\, and sustainable regional development. The award—sponsored by Iter Vitis\, the international federation that celebrates and protects the world’s wine heritage by promoting sustainable wine tourism – recognized the value of an independent project that uses the Wine heritage as a tool for knowledge and cultural storytelling. In addition\, on that occasion Laura Riolfatto has been named Malvasia Ambassador for Malvasia Myth\, an international project dedicated to promoting Malvasia wines and their cultural and viticultural heritage. \n“Malvasia Pop Up was born from a very simple question\, – says its creator\, Laura Riolfatto – ‘How many stories can we tell starting with a glass of Malvasia?’ From there\, I embarked on a journey that led me to bring together wine\, history\, art\, food\, photography\, and culinary culture\, exploring the deep connection that links Malvasia wines to Venice and the Mediterranean. Receiving this award means seeing this very approach to wine recognized—not merely as something to be tasted\, but as a language through which to convey culture\, memory\, and history.” \nEvent Calendar\n\nOctober 17\, toward evening\, in the Lagoon will take Malvasia Pop Up™ out onto the water\, aboard Camoma’s historic bragozzo\, the Sant’Alban\, for a journey through the Venetian Lagoon at the intersection of wine\, landscape\, and memory. The boat trip—which will depart from San Pietro di Castello—will become part of the narrative: the history of Malvasia\, its trade\, and its centuries-old connection to Venice will intertwine with that of Dorona\, the lagoon’s iconic grape variety. A stop at Vignole\, amid vegetable gardens and the lagoon landscape\, will feature a tasting and an introduction to the island’s culinary delights\, before returning to Venice as evening falls. An experience designed to explore the lagoon through wine\, following the traces of a culture born from the encounter between water\, land\, and the vine.\nOn November 20\, it will be time for The Night of the Malvasias—Stories\, Mysteries\, and Wine in Autumn Venice: a special event featuring Venetian writer and storyteller Alberto Toso Fei\, in which stories\, legends\, and anecdotes from Venice’s most secret corners will intertwine with the history of Malvasia and the traces this wine has left in the city over the centuries. The story will continue at the table with a tasting of three rare Italian red Malvasia wines\, on a journey through regions\, grape varieties\, and memory\, organized in collaboration with Iter Vitis\, a Cultural Route of the Council of Europe and with the Consortium for the Protection of Malvasia di Casorzo DOC. The event will take place at the Cantieri Cucchini Docks inside Tesa3 Marzotto.\nOn December 20\, the 2026 program will conclude with The Table as a Cultural Language\, a lunch and storytelling event dedicated to Italian red Malvasia wines. The table as a meeting place for wine\, food\, and culture\, where the tasting becomes the thread of a story that weaves through territories\, traditions\, memories\, and gestures of conviviality. Red Malvasia wines\, in their various expressions\, will accompany a gastronomic journey designed to convey—through taste—the identity of the places from which they originate. An intimate gathering for a select few guests\, on the eve of Christmas\, that will symbolically bring the second year of Malvasia Pop Up™ to a close by returning wine to its most ancient and universal dimension: that of the table as a space for connection\, storytelling\, and sharing. The event will take place at the Cantieri Cucchini Docks inside Tesa3 Marzotto.\n\nVia Querinissima\n Malvasia Pop Up™ is also part of the Via Querinissima network —the European Cultural Route that retraces the journey undertaken in the 15th century by the Venetian nobleman and merchant Pietro Querini. It thus connects Venice with the European territories featured in his story. This participation is in line with Malvasia Pop Up™’s mission to forge connections between wine\, history\, cultural routes\, and European heritage\, starting from Venice and its centuries-old openness toward the Mediterranean and Europe.
