IN ALBA THE WINE FESTIVAL!

On Sunday, 28th September, the 16th edition of the Go Wine event


The old town is transformed for one day into a "wine route"

On Sunday, 28th September 2014, the Wine Festival is back: the sixteenth edition of the event which brings to the stage, along the town’s historic center, the most representative wine expressions of the territory of Langa and Roero.

The initiative, sponsored by Go Wine, has became over time an event much loved by the audience of Italian and foreign wine enthusiasts; a format that even this year will allow to travel the route from Piazza del Duomo along the "Via Maestra", transformed for one day in an ideal "wine route".

The event involves the wineries of the Municipalities of Langa and Roero, maintaining its connotation of a festive event, which recalls the time and the joyful character of the harvest, with the presence of realities of local promotion, wineries and wine shops and associations of producers.

From 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. the producers, organized by the participating Municipalities, will present in the tasting their products and will promote their territorial reality.

The disposition of the tasting tables will be organized in homogeneous areas, so that visitors can ideally cover the various areas of production. From the famous Barolo and Barbaresco, the flagships of the territory, to the other noble wines of the Langhe and Roero: Nebbiolo d’Alba, Roero, Roero Arneis, Barbera d’Alba, Dolcetto d’Alba, di Diano and di Dogliani, and many other wines.

As proven by the adhesions, there will be a rich tasting table with many labels (over 700!) represented: an extraordinary opportunity to learn about new and different products to savor the charm of typical specialities characterizing the hills around Alba and converging, for one day, in a picturesque route through the medieval streets of the old town.
