SUMMARY:Rose Rosé 2026
DESCRIPTION:Rose Rosé returns to Rome: 4th Edition lights up the cityMay 11-17\, including wine\, fashion and art\nFrom May 11 to 17\, with highlight events on the 13th and 14th\, Via Borgognona is transformed into an experiential pathway with tastings\, boutiques and floral installations\, with Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo as the absolute protagonist and a program full of novelties designed to win over not only wine lovers but also contemporary lifestyle enthusiasts. \nFourth edition\, same soul and new vibes: Rose Rosé returns to Rome to celebrate the month of roses with an experience that conquers the palate and seduces the eye\, inviting everyone to be transported into a world where pink becomes emotion\, style and storytelling. In May\, when the city lights up with light and the gardens are tinged with the first blooms\, one of the most original events of the spring season comes to life\, capable of renewing itself over time without losing its identity.  \nThe event\, promoted by the Matrix Association and MKTG Advisor\, continues to successfully narrate an original and recognizable formula\, enriched by novelties that enliven the program and ignite the curiosity of an increasingly broad audience: not only wine enthusiasts\, but also lovers of fashion\, art and immersive experiences. \nFrom May 11 to 17\, with highlights on the 13th and 14th\, Rose Rosé is preparing to take the city by storm once again with a calendar full of events designed to offer an engaging journey between tastings\, shopping experiences\, art and lifestyle\, in a harmonious and contemporary balance. \nAt the center of this edition is once again the allure of rosé wine\, in its many nuances and declinations\, but also a broader idea of the event: an immersive journey that interweaves taste and beauty\, tradition and trends. \nThe exceptional setting will again be Via Borgognona\, the beating heart of Altagamma shopping in Rome\, with its French-influenced historic architecture and prestigious international boutiques. For the occasion\, the street will be transformed into a unique sensory itinerary\, dressing itself in pink and roses thanks to the set-up signed by Flover\, a Neapolitan company specializing in fashion and design. Their scenic wall planters will create a poetic and refined ambience\, enhancing the beauty of roses and recalling the delicate tones of rosé wines in the glass.   \nAbout 12 boutiques are involved along the street\, each of which will host individual wineries of the Consorzio Tutela Vini d’Abruzzo\, the initiative’s exclusive wine partner. The exceptional protagonist will be Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo – the first Italian appellation dedicated exclusively to rosé wines\, born in 2010\, which is now experiencing a golden moment – which will accompany guests on a tasting path among freshness\, fruity aromas and versatility.  \nThe experiences will be divided between widespread tastings in the boutiques on May 14 and an invitation-only wine tasting in the halls of the prestigious St. Regis Rome on May 13\, Throughout the itinerary\, qualified sommeliers will guide participants on a sensory journey filled with curiosities\, stories and pairings. \nOnce again this year\, there will be no shortage of space dedicated to art: contemporary artist Elisabetta (Betta) Serena di Lapigio will exhibit her works at the St. Regis Rome\, adding an additional layer of dialogue between aesthetics and perception\, at the Sala del Cinghiale in the Nino dal 1934 restaurant and in some of the participating boutiques. Adding to the vibrancy of the experience\, a collaboration continues with fashion illustrator Aldo Sacchetti\, who will create live portraits of guests through the sketch technique inside selected boutiques.  \nRose Rosé thus confirms itself to be much more than a wine event: it is a choral tale made of taste\, beauty and lifestyle\, capable of transforming the city into a diffuse stage where every detail contributes to creating an elegant\, engaging atmosphere that is always in step with the times. \nThe event is sponsored by the Lazio Region\, the Municipality of Rome and Confcommercio imprese per l’Italia\, with the media partnership of RCS Corriere della Sera and the support of partners such as Avis Drive\, Valverde\, Matrix\, Montenapoleone District and Flover. \nFull details of the initiative can be found on the official page

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.

The public will be able to meet the Winemakers and taste their wines in as many as 15 exceptional settings. >Not only wineries and member farms\, but also places related to culture such as museums and historical monuments\, squares in the capitals and several Points of Affection (PDAs) of the Federation. \nThe format of The Winemaker’s Saturday.\nEach date will welcome the public with the usual spirit of celebration and sharing. \nThe heart of the event will be the tasting tables\, where Independent Winemakers and Winegrowers will tell firsthand about their work\, their wines and the values of the Federation. \nThe program will be enhanced by a free and varied format that\, depending on the delegation\, will include: \n\nIn-depth masterclasses and discussion moments\nDirect purchase of wines from producers\nInvolvement of local artisans and food stands with local products\nMusical interludes and cultural highlights.\n\nFor wine enthusiasts\, it confirms a unique opportunity to discover and relax and experience a day in the company of those who cultivate and protect the vineyard every day\, discovering the vocation of often unique territories. \nGli appuntamenti di Sabato 16 maggio\n\nLanghe and Roero | Bra (CN)\nLiguria | Made Space – Luni (SP)\nMarche | Mole Vanvitelliana of Ancona (AN)\nPiacenza | Az.

SUMMARY:Bolzano - Vinaltum 2026
DESCRIPTION:Vinaltum 2026: “Tasting excellence” at Mareccio Castle\, in the heart of Bolzano\, May 17 and 18\nVinaltum\, the Festival of Wine Excellence of Italy and the World\, dedicated to wine lovers and wine professionals\, is back. For this third edition\, the event takes a significant step and lands in Castel Mareccio\, in the heart of Bolzano\, bringing with it all its exclusive character in a setting even more evocative and representative of the South Tyrolean territory.  \nMareccio Castle\nNestled among vineyards on the outskirts of the city\, Castel Mareccio is a medieval castle from the 13th century. It stands on a hilltop promontory with panoramic views of the Adige Valley. Now a venue for high-profile events\, its historic architecture\, frescoed rooms and surrounding park provide a setting of rare elegance-a setting perfectly in line with the values of Vinaltum\, where excellence\, territory and beauty meet.  \n“Castel Mareccio represents a quantum leap in context for Vinaltum. We wanted to bring the event to the heart of Bolzano\,” comments Danilo D’Ambra\, creator of Vinaltum\, “in a place that spoke of territory\, history and excellence as much as the wines tasted there  \nThe Vinaltum project\nVinaltum was born from the synergy between Danilo D’Ambra and Luciano Rappo\, two leading figures in the Italian wine scene. D’Ambra\, FISAR president for Bolzano and Bassa Atesina\, is a great connoisseur of the sector and a passionate promoter of wine culture. Rappo\, a longtime wine consultant and point of reference for many wineries\, has dedicated his career to the promotion of Italian wine excellence. Together\, with the support of Pietro Cormaci\, Brand Ambassador of the event\, and Rinaldo Hauser Sommelier of experience and “Keeper of Taste\,” they have built a project that aims to be a bridge between producers\, buyers\, experts and industry enthusiasts\, promoting an authentic and educational tasting experience.    \n“Vinaltum was born out of the conviction that quality wine deserves a stage to match.” – says Luciano Rappo\, co-organizer of Vinaltum-“The selection of wineries participating in the event is never random: we look for producers who have something authentic to tell\, who express the territory through their wines. It is this rigor in the selection that makes Vinaltum a credible\, expected and different event from others.” \nVinaltum 2026\nThe careful selection of participating wineries and the direct presence of producers will offer visitors an unprecedented wine experience.” \nTo make the experience even more complete for guests of the event\, Vinaltum 2026 benefits from the valuable collaboration of the Goldenstern Townhouse\, the official hospitality partner. Located in the heart of Bolzano’s historic center\, under the city’s medieval arcades\, the Goldenstern is much more than a hotel. It is an expertly restored 800 AD historic building with sixteen unique suites\, each custom-designed and dedicated to one of the people who shaped its history. The panoramic terrace overlooking the rooftops of Bolzano and the Dolomites\, the interiors that blend contemporary design and period stucco\, the breakfast with fresh local products-all speak of that same quest for excellence that animates Vinaltum. A natural partnership\, between two businesses that share the same vision of the beautiful and the good.     \n“Mareccio Castle and the Goldenstern are two places that tell the same soul of Bolzano“-D’Ambra emphasizes-history\, beauty and the pursuit of excellence. Having them both alongside VINALTUM is not a coincidence\, it is a precise choice. We want every moment of the event to match the wines and the Producers we host.”   \nWith the support of Arco Expeditions\, Main Sponsor for logistics\, Goldenstern Townhouse\, Sophienwald with UNO Glassworks\, Castel Hortenberg\, Franz Kraler\, and in collaboration with FISAR\, Vinaltum 2026 is confirmed as an unmissable experience for those who love wine and wish to experience it in a high-class and professional setting\, in the extraordinary crossroads of cultures\, landscapes and flavors that is South Tyrol. \nThe program\nThe program consists of two days: \n\nSunday\, May 17 tastings open to the public\non Monday\, May 18 access restricted to insiders and invited guests.\n\nBoth days will be enhanced by exclusive master classes led by industry experts. \nServing as an interlude between the first and second days is the traditional“Big Bottle Party” on Sunday evening. This is a time of conviviality and celebration where participants can taste large formats in an elegant and engaging atmosphere.  \nMore details on the official Vinatum.co.uk page.

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. In fact\, this new formula has allowed for greater collaboration between territories so that many Delegations will open their doors to members from other regions\, creating opportunities for discussion and cross-tasting where event dates allow.    \nThe locations and delegations\nA total of 21 FIVI Local Delegations (out of a total of 31 currently in attendance) have joined the initiative\, with some entities celebrating their organizational debut this year (Asti\, Alta Toscana and Costa Toscana). The public will be able to meet the Winemakers and taste their wines in as many as 15 exceptional settings. >Not only wineries and member farms\, but also places related to culture such as museums and historical monuments\, squares in the capitals and several Points of Affection (PDAs) of the Federation. \nThe format of The Winemaker’s Saturday.\nEach date will welcome the public with the usual spirit of celebration and sharing. \nThe heart of the event will be the tasting tables\, where Independent Winemakers and Winegrowers will tell firsthand about their work\, their wines and the values of the Federation. \nThe program will be enhanced by a free and varied format that\, depending on the delegation\, will include: \n\nIn-depth masterclasses and discussion moments\nDirect purchase of wines from producers\nInvolvement of local artisans and food stands with local products\nMusical interludes and cultural highlights.\n\nFor wine enthusiasts\, it confirms a unique opportunity to discover and relax and experience a day in the company of those who cultivate and protect the vineyard every day\, discovering the vocation of often unique territories. \nThe date of Saturday\, May 30\n\nAsti | Monvì Relais – Costigliole d’Asti (AT)\n\nThe full program and details of each event are posted online at: https://fivi.it/sabato-del-vignaiolo/
