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.

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 URL:https://www.doctorwine.wine/event/rose-rose-2026/?lang=en LOCATION:Via Borgognona\, Roma\, Italy CATEGORIES:Rome Events,Tasting ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.doctorwine.wine/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Rose-Rose.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260511T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260511T193000 DTSTAMP:20260616T063234 CREATED:20260420T193117Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260420T193117Z UID:55510-1778518800-1778527800@www.doctorwine.wine SUMMARY:Rosso di Montalcino beyond the seasons DESCRIPTION:Rosso di Montalcino beyond the seasons: who said red awaits the reverse?

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.

And an award for the next thirty. A double course: to guard the identity of Malvasia di Candia Aromatica and to open it to generational change. \nOn Saturday\, May 16 and Sunday\, May 17\, 2026\, the 30th Malvasia Festival will be held at Rocca Sanvitale di Sala Baganza (PR). Alongside the historic Cosèta d ‘ Or and Perlén’na d’Or\, the Cosèta Malvagiovani award debuts\, dedicated to young producers\, restaurateurs and food and wine professionals. A dual course: to preserve the identity of Malvasia di Candia Aromatica and to open it up to generational change. \nFor 30 years\, the Malvasia Festival has been the best showcase for the aromas and flavors of the Parma Valleys. The 30th edition\, scheduled to take place in Sala Baganza on Saturday \, May 16 and Sunday\, May 17\, 2026 in the shadow of Rocca Sanvitale\, brings Malvasia di Candia Aromatica – a white grape variety from the Parma hills – back to the center in a weekend of tastings\, flavors and fun promoted by the Municipality of Sala Baganza and the Pro Loco with the collaboration of the Consorzio Vini Colli di Parma. \nLa Cosèta Malvagiovani Award\nThirty years the Festival lives on as a stage\, not a finish line: the 2026 edition confirms this with the debut of a new award\, the Cosèta Malvagiovani\, designed precisely to give space to the new generation of producers\, restaurateurs and food and wine professionals. \nLa Cosèta Malvagiovani was born from the collaboration between the Municipality of Sala Baganza\, the Pro Loco\, the Colli di Parma Wine Consortium and Fipe Parma (Federazione Imprese Ristorazione Intrattenimento Turismo). It tells a precise choice: the next 30 years of Malvasia is being built now\, giving space to those who are entering the vineyard\, the cellar and the hall. \n“Thirty years ago we began to give voice to a wine that was the heritage of the producers and deserved to become the heritage of the territory. Today that voice is clear. Cosèta Malvagiovani serves to make sure that it remains clear even in another thirty years\, told by those who will come after us\,” says Aldo Stucchi\, president of the Pro Loco of Sala Baganza. \nThe historical awards: Cosèta d’Or and Perlén’na d’Or\nThe Festival’s historic award\, the Cosèta d’Or\, a prize for the best dry sparkling Malvasia in the area\, remains up for grabs: the last edition was won for the third year in a row by theCerdelli winery\, a sign of consolidating quality. Alongside\, the Perlén’na d’Or is confirmed\, dedicated to the best interpretation of sparkling Malvasia: introduced in 2025 and won by theLamoretti company\, it intercepts a growing trend in aperitifs and at the table. \n“In 30 years\, the Festival has united a community around Rocca Sanvitale and the food and wine identity of Sala Baganza. It is a heritage of relationships\, work and hospitality that today speaks to a national audience and brings value to the territory well beyond the two days of the event. Our commitment as a municipality is to make it grow further\,” added Aldo Spina\, Mayor of Sala Baganza. \nMalvasia di Candia Aromatica in brief \nA white grape vine of probable Greek origin-the name recalls Candia\, an ancient Venetian toponym for the island of Crete-Malvasia di Candia Aromatica is now grown mainly in the hills of Parma and Piacenza\, with presences in Oltrepò Pavese\, the Scandiano and Canossa hills. It is distinguished from other Malvasias by an unmistakable aromatic profile: citrus\, white flowers (acacia\, freesia\, lavender)\, yellow-fleshed fruit and a characteristic nutmeg note. \nOn the Colli di Parma it is the flagship grape of the DOC of the same name\, recognized since 1938: in the Malvasia type it accounts for at least 85 percent of the blend. It is vinified in dry\, semi-dry and sweet\, still\, sparkling and spumante versions-a versatility that has made it the territory’s identifying white\, from aperitif to table. Historically it is also documented in the cellars of Maria Luigia of Austria\, duchess of Parma. \nThe program\nDuring the two days\, local wineries will be present to present their labels\, with interpreters from the Parma Valleys and other territories of Malvasia di Candia Aromatica.

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.

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.
