Yet\, the “Vini delle Coste” are yet to be discovered\, wines where the influence of the sea lends flavor and character and where the wealth of variety allows for a thousand expressions. \nThe event\nTo make them known\, in Lucca\, a splendid Tuscan city\, on March 30 and 31\, ” Vini delle Coste\,” an event open to trade operators\, journalists and enthusiasts\, will be held. First and foremost\, the protagonists will be wines from the Colline Lucchesi\, Colline Pisane\, Montecarlo and Candia\, expressions of the provinces of Lucca\, Pisa and Massa. But there will be no shortage of wines from many regions of Italy that share the sun and the scent of the sea. \nItaly was envisioned as a bridge in the middle of the Mediterranean that gives unique wines. In the selection of wineries\, from all over Italy\, priority was given to those realities that follow the entire production cycle\, from vineyard to bottle. In this way\, the participation of subjects active in the field of social agriculture was favored\, looking with interest at projects related to the recovery of land in marginal areas\, examples of a heroic viticulture that gives not only fruits\, but also stories to be discovered. \nThe Royal College of Lucca\nThe event will be held at the Royal College of Lucca\, mentioned as early as the 6th century as a convent attached to the splendid church of San Frediano\, still characterized by the facade where the 13th-century mosaic stands. Remodeled over the centuries\, for more than two hundred years it has presented its present structure. Its history is intertwined with that of Elisa Bonaparte and then with that of Marie Louise of Bourbon. In its rooms winemakers will welcome the public to make their philosophy known. \nSynergies\n“Vini delle Coste” will tell many unique stories in an informal yet intimate setting. This is demonstrated by the choice of the poster\, designed by Massimo Giacon\, a cartoonist with to his credit collaborations with famous magazines such as Linus\, Elle\, Glamour\, illustrator of campaigns for brands such as Absolut Vodka\, Memphis\, Swatch\, designer of design objects for Alessi\, author for Mondadori of the book “Amami” and much more. A perfect choice because she is world famous for Lucca Comics & Games\, an international event dedicated to comics\, with which there is a strong synergy.

The event\, now in its second year\, is the meeting point of innovation\, sustainability and passion for wine\, all focused on a theme that is rewriting the rules of the industry: PIWI wines. \nPIWI Wines are the beating heart of the event\, the absolute protagonists of a viticulture that looks to the future. These vines\, the result of research and selection\, were created to meet the challenges of climate change\, reduce the use of pesticides and offer ever higher quality with less ecological impact. \nResistant varieties: an opportunity for sustainable development of viticulture\nOn April 27 and 28\, at Dogana Veneta in Lazise\, Verona\, experts and producers will meet to explore the possibilities offered by these innovative varieties\, whose use in viticulture is growing exponentially due to environmental benefits and the challenges imposed by climate change.>The focus of the event will be PIWI (Pflanzenschutz im Weinbau) vines\, a group of varieties obtained by crossing traditional grape varieties with strains characterized by innate resistance to diseases such as downy mildew and powdery mildew. Increasingly widespread throughout Europe\, these vines are the fruit of centuries of agronomic research\, combining empirical and scientific knowledge. Their development meets the need for more sustainable viticulture\, reducing the use of phytosanitary treatments and environmental impact. \nThese varieties\, with their innovative genetic profile\, represent a possible answer to the sustainability needs of modern wineries\, offering new opportunities even where traditional viticulture is challenged by climate change\, though without constituting a universal solution.>Scientifically speaking\, PIWI vines are the result of a cross between traditional grape varieties and American or Asian varieties that are more resistant to certain pathogens. The genetics of these varieties are designed to achieve disease resistance without compromising wine quality. In fact\, PIWI vines are not only resistant to pathogens\, but also produce high quality grapes\, often with an interesting flavor and aroma profile\, making them competitive with traditional varieties. \nIrresistible PIWI 2025 thus aims not only to serve as a showcase for PIWI varieties\, but also as a scientific and practical refresher for all industry professionals\, with a program featuring lectures\, tastings and discussions on the latest findings in sustainable viticulture. \nParticipating in Irresistible PIWI means experiencing a sensory journey through these resilient wines\, which are not only environmentally friendly but also offer a surprising variety of flavors\, aromas and characteristics. \nWhy are PIWI wines Irresistible?\n\nAdaptability and resilience: these grape varieties are perfect for coping with climate change. They are able to adapt to different climatic and soil conditions\, making wine production more resilient and durable. \nSustainability First: PIWI vines are resistant to diseases such as downy mildew and powdery mildew\, which means reduced use of chemical treatments. This makes them an excellent choice for winemakers who want to work in an environmentally friendly way without compromising quality. \nTaste and very high quality: not only sustainability\, but also extraordinary quality. PIWI wines offer a range of unique flavors\, the result of the biodiversity that these grape varieties bring. \n\nConference “Sustainable Viticulture – genetics\, cultivation techniques and biodiversity”\nOn April 28\, starting at 9 a.m.\, the conference “Sustainable Viticulture – Genetics\, Cultivation Techniques and Biodiversity” will be held\, an important opportunity to discuss issues related to viticulture of the future.>Moderated by Alessandra Biondi Bartolini\, scientific director of Millevigne\, it will feature experts in the field\, including Massimo Gardiman\, Riccardo Velasco\, Sara Zenoni\, Heloise Mahe\, Lucio Brancadoro\, Francesco Favaretto and Tiziana Nardi.\nThe talks will address issues related to viticultural biodiversity\, genetic improvement\, new cultivation techniques and sustainability in viticulture. The conference will be an opportunity to explore the role of research and innovation in the future of the wine sector. \nA journey into the future of wine\nIrresistible PIWI is the perfect opportunity to discover the secrets of PIWI wines and understand how innovation is transforming the wine landscape. It will be a unique opportunity to taste different types of wines\, from fresh and fruity to more structured and complex\, each with its own story to tell. >During the event\, it will be possible to participate in guided tasting sessions\, engage with experts and discover how these hardy grape varieties are changing not only the way wine is made\, but also the way it is thought about and appreciated. \nEvent details:\nAn event full of tastings\, meetings with producers\, conferences and seminars.
