A fundamental awareness\, because only when individuals feel truly connected to places\, their history\, traditions and those who guard local knowledge and production\, can those territories be experienced\, preserved and not abandoned.” He concludes\, “This is the mission of Slow June: to create authentic relationships between people and territory\, so that biodiversity\, culture and local knowledge become once again a shared responsibility and a living presence in the everyday life of communities.” \nIn perfect agreement is the municipal administration. “Our community continues to share the values promoted by Slow Food with a view to a sustainable and integrated socio-economic development\,” says Municipal Councillor for Commerce Stefania Terrazzoni. “Also in this edition\, thanks to the project consolidated along these seven years\, our economic operators are engaged in a proposal of excellent food and wine choices strongly linked to the territory. \nThe opening weekend program\nSaturday\, May 23\n\n11:00 a.m. Appointment in the masterclass “The Time Ingredient in Refermented Wines \,” given by Giampaolo Giacobbo\, co-owner of Arkè\, a national distributor of natural wines.\n12:00 noon masterclass dedicated to the declinations of Cannonau in Sardinia\n4 p.m. – 10 p.m. opentasting booths and free chats with producers \n5 p.m.Tasting tour led by Vasco Ciuti\, Onav taster and entitled “The diversity of minerality in the mouth in relation to soil.”\n5 p.m.Tasting tour entitled “Whites of Memory.

Not by fashion\, but by nature. Light\, freshness\, drinkability: elements that belong to the landscape even before the glass. In Apulia\, this relationship has always been evident. Here rosé is an agricultural tradition\, a direct expression of grape varieties such as Negroamaro\, Bombino nero and Nero di Troia. The Gargano\, with its sharp light and proximity to the sea\, is a natural setting for this tale. Not only because rosé is a wine that speaks the language of summer\, but because here it manages to find an authentic dimension: sharp aromas\, savoriness\, that lightness that is not banality but stylistic precision. I am convinced that the presence of Gambero Rosso can add a critical look that can help read this evolution with greater awareness “\, says Giuseppe Carrus editor of Gambero Rosso’s Guida Vini d’Italia.. \nVieste en Rose is organized by the Municipality of Vieste\, in collaboration with Gambero Rosso and One Eventi\, with the support of the partners AIS Puglia\, IPEOA Enrico Mattei Vieste\, Gelman srl\, TicketSms and Tema.

Now in its 23rd edition\, the event represents a consolidated moment for the area\, capable of combiningfood and wine experience\, storytelling and local enhancement. \nOrganized by the Associazione Produttori Moscato Passito Valle Bagnario (Bagnario Valley Moscato Passito Producers Association)\, the walk takes place among the vine-covered hills recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site\, fitting into a context of growing attention to forms of experiential tourism\, in which time\, landscape and the relationship with producers become central elements. The initiative represents an opportunity to discover one of the lesser-known expressions of Piedmont wine-growing\, through a format that is accessible but at the same time deeply rooted in the territory. \nThe Moscato Passito of Strevi DOC\nMoscato Passito di Strevi has its roots in more than a thousand years of history\, when Moscato Bianco was cultivated in the Bagnario Valley to produce mass wine by natural drying in the sun. An ancient technique\, today considered among the longest-lived oenological practices in Piedmont. Over time\, this tradition has been handed down and refined thanks to the efforts of local winemakers\, until it obtained in 2000\, recognition as a Slow Food Presidium\, and in 2005\, the “Strevi” Controlled Denomination of Origin\, which came under the protection of the Asti DOCG Consortium in 2024. The Associazione Produttori Moscato Passito Valle Bagnario\, founded in 2004 by a small collective of historic winemakers\, is now an active presidium in the protection and promotion of this tradition and the landscape that hosts it. \nThe production of Moscato Passito di Strevi follows an artisanal and sustainable supply chain. Vineyards at least five years old are cultivated according to the principles of integrated cultivation\, which balances manual labor\, mechanization and targeted treatments to reduce environmental impact. After the selected harvest between August and September\, the best bunches are placed on traditional stagere for natural drying in the sun\, protected from nighttime humidity. The process\, which can last from 20 to 40 days\, results in the grapes losing more than 60 percent of their weight\, concentrating their aromas and sugars. \nDrying is followed by soft crushing and manual pressing to extract the must\, which ferments slowly with some of the skins. After at least two years of aging\, the wine can be bottled as Strevi DOC\, but it also continues to evolve in the bottle\, developing increasing complexity over time. \nThe program of the “Slow Walk”\nThe “Passeggiata Slow” winds its way along an itinerary of about 3 km among the vineyards and views of the Bagnario Valley\, divided into six gastronomic stops curated by the participating wineries: Bagnario di Ivaldi Giampaolo\, Bragagnolo Vini Passiti\, Ca di Cicul di Salina\, Cà du Rüja di Roglia Domenico\, Azienda Agricola Marenco and the Azienda Agricola Oddone Prati. Each stop is conceived as a moment of meeting and tasting\, in which Moscato Passito di Strevi DOC – the protagonist of the initiative – is flanked by a selection of other wines from the wineries\, paired with gastronomic proposals. Among the most evocative points of the route\, there is also a stop at the scenic yellow “Big Bench\,” overlooking the Monferrato landscape\, which returns a wide and immersive view of the territory. \nThe meeting and departure are scheduled from 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.\, located in Strevi at Bagnario Region no. 16 (junction of Valle Bagnario and Valle Pineto). At the start check-point it will be possible to submit registration\, make payment and collect coupons to be handed out at each stage. The event will end by 6 p.m. Parking will be available near the start. \nThe participation fee is 35€ and includes for each gastronomic stop a dish\, a wine proposal from the producer and a tasting of Moscato Passito. Participation is free for children under 8 years old. \nSeating is limited; reservations are required by June 1 through Eventbrite. \nInformation is available by writing to vinipassitivallebagnario@gmail.com. \nThe event is sponsored by the City of Strevi and the Asti DOCG Consortium\, in collaboration with the Slow Food Presidium\, the Slow Food Condotta of Gavi and Ovada.
