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. In a cosy and informal setting\, among the vineyards and historic spaces of the estate\, the event offers the opportunity to meet winemakers directly and taste wines from some of the most interesting realities on the international scene.  \nA different fair\, based on meeting\nSince its inception\, SUMMA has been envisioned as a place of exchange and inspiration. The event reflects the philosophy of the Alois Lageder Estate\, a historic South Tyrolean winery that has been committed to organic and biodynamic viticulture for years.  \nThe common thread uniting the producers present is precisely the sharing of values such as quality\, sustainability\, curiosity and the spirit of experimentation. Many of the participating companies work according to organic or biodynamic principles\, or are engaged in a path of conversion to more environmentally friendly agricultural practices.  \nMore than just a tasting\, SUMMA is a place where wine becomes an opportunity for discussion: between different territories\, between different production approaches\, and between generations of winemakers. \n115 winemakers from nine countries\nFor the 2026 edition\, 115 winemakers from nine countries are expected\, with a selection ranging from international icons to the most influential new voices in organic and biodynamic wine.   \nKey players include names such as Champagne Tarlant\, Georg Breuer\, Gravner and Dr. Bürklin-Wolf. Italy is strongly represented by cult producers such as Pian dell’Orino\, Frank Cornelissen\, Arianna Occhipinti and Giulia Negri – Serradenari\, joined by great classics such as Château Musar from Lebanon. Realities such as Wittmann\, Jurtschitsch and Ökonomierat Rebholz represent the dialogue between tradition and innovation\, while producers such as Schödl\, Kristinus and Otronia trace an international arc from Central Europe to Patagonia.   \nWhat makes SUMMA unique is precisely its size: not a large\, dispersed event\, but a deliberately collected event that encourages direct encounters with winemakers and in-depth discussions about wines. \nOver the course of the two days\, it will be possible to taste the labels of the featured wineries\, participate in moments of dialogue\, and enjoy an immersive experience in the heart of the South Tyrolean region\, amid historic architecture\, vineyards\, and a strong wine culture. \nFor many industry professionals and advanced wine enthusiasts\, SUMMA has for years been a must-attend event for discovering new interpretations of contemporary wine and meeting some of the most influential producers on the international scene. \nUseful information\n\nEvent: SUMMA 2026\nDates: April 11 and 12\, 2026\nLocation: Alois Lageder Estate\, Magrè on the Wine Road (South Tyrol)\n\nThe full list of participating winemakers and all program information is available on the official website: mhttps://summa-al.eu

SUMMARY:Lazise - Irresistible Piwi 2026
DESCRIPTION:Irresistible Piwi 2026: the wine festival dedicated to resistant grape varieties returns to Lazise with tastings\, wineries and meetings on the future of viticulture.\nOn April 26 and 27\, 2026\, in the beautiful setting of the Dogana Veneta in Lazise\, Irresistible Piwi returns \, the event dedicated to resistant vines that in recent years has established itself as one of the most interesting events to understand the evolution of contemporary viticulture. \nNow in its third year\, the show focuses on Piwi\, vine varieties resistant to major fungal diseases such as downy mildew and powdery mildew. 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. An approach that allows the entire supply chain to be told\, from the birth of new varieties to the wine in the glass.  \nUseful information\n\nDates: April 26 and 27\, 2026\nHours: Sunday 26 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. – Monday 27 from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.\nLocation: Dogana Veneta\, Lazise (Verona)\n\nThe two days will feature tastings\, meetings and highlights dedicated to resistant varieties and the future of sustainable viticulture. \nAll up-to-date information on the program\, participating wineries\, and access arrangements can be found on the official website: https://irresistibilepiwi.it
