DESCRIPTION:Wine Festival\, Piedmont’s native grape varieties: Meeting with producers\, biodiversity\, wine culture\nGo Wine presents theeighth edition of the Wine Festival dedicated to the Autochthonous Grapes of Piedmont\, scheduled for Sunday\, May 24\, 2026 in the historic center of Alba. \nA tasting event that pays tribute to the great richness of the Piedmont vineyard: expressed through native grape varieties\, narrated and offered for tasting in the direct presence of the producers. \nThe event will take place throughout the day\, transforming Alba’s historic center into a large tasting trail dedicated to Piedmont’s viticultural biodiversity. \nA “journey” through the Piedmont vineyard\nThe Wine Festival was created to highlight the richness and diversity of the region’s ampelographic heritage\, giving voice to famous varieties and other rarer ones that have been recovered and revived in recent years. \nMore than 40 grape varieties will be represented during the day\, in an ideal journey through the Piedmont of wine: from the best-known varieties\, such as Nebbiolo\, Barbera\, Dolcetto\,Arneis or Timorasso\, to lesser-known and particularly fascinating varieties such as Baratuciat\, Bian Ver\, Uvalino\, Becuet\, Caricalasino\, Chatus\, white Rossese and many others. \nAn itinerary that invites you to discover not only the wines\, but also the territories\, the stories and the work of the wineries that guard and interpret this extraordinary heritage. \nWine as an encounter with wineries\nWineries participate in the event by meeting directly with the public at tasting booths that will enliven the city’s historic center. \nOther grape varieties and wines will be presented in special thematic wine shops\, thus completing the tasting tour. \nThe Wine Festival is also an opportunity to experience wine as encounter\, dialogue and storytelling: an opportunity to get to know the producers up close\, listen to the stories of the wineries and delve into the link between grape variety\, landscape and territorial identity. \nSpecial guests: Wines of Portugal and Vermentino in Italy\nIn the sign of encounter and comparison\, two thematic wine shops will tell about a great native grape variety of Italy and a foreign reality. \nIn Italy\, the choice fell on Vermentino: a grape variety that we can call “Tyrrhenian\,” because it looks to the sea and is exalted in certain soils (such as the granite of Gallura in Sardinia). \nNinety percent of the vermentino in Italy comes from Liguria\, Tuscany and Sardinia\, with some occurrences also in Umbria and Latium. \nA selection of labels will tell the story of its presence in different regions and give voice to important performers. \nPortugal is the host country for this edition: boasting an ancient history\, it is the 11th largest wine producer in the world; regions such as Douro and Port make up 20 percent of the total national production. \nA selection of wines will tell the story of the country’s main wine-growing areas: from northern Vinho Verde to southern Alentejo\, the largest wine region. \nThere are over 250 indigenous wines from Portugal: we will present some of them in an exclusive Enoteca. \nThree masterclasses to deepen knowledge\nA number of masterclasses will characterize the day and touch on different themes: celebrating the 60th anniversary of the recognition of the first docs in Italy\, focusing on the    Wines of Portugal\, hosts of the event. \nThe masterclass program \n\n 11:30 a.m.: 60 Years of DOC in Italy (1966-2026): Barolo\, Barbaresco & more… Inaugural event\, tasting of 6 wines (Barolo\, Barbaresco\, Brunello di Montalcino\, Vernaccia di San Gimignano\, Frascati\, Ischia)\n3 pm: Portugal in the glass: territory\, history\, grape varieties: from Vinho verde\, to Port\, to Alentejo.
