DiVinNosiola 2024 complete program

Vino Santo Trentino, a Slow Food presidium, is the fruit of the work of those who believe that it is still necessary to wait for the right time for good things. Those that tell of shared knowledge, past memories and present passions. A wine that is the result of collective work and ancient traditions; among these the Rite of Pressing: one of the most symbolically important moments, which takes place on the occasion of Holy Week and which marks the transition from the drying of the Nosiola grapes on the "arèle", to the vinification of the Vino Santo Trentino. The event, in its fourteenth edition, has become one of the most important events in the Valle dei Laghi and was created to rediscover some traits of the cultural heritage of the area and above all of its food and wine tradition, which is inextricably linked to the production of Nosiola wine and Vino Santo, two different styles of winemaking of a single grape variety: Nosiola.
