After a long wait, 'Sbarbatelle - Young gems with deep roots' returns, the event dedicated to the young winemakers of our country and curated by the Asti AIS delegation. Now in its fourth edition, and with the title 'Wine Event 2020' achieved at the Food and Travel Italia Awards, the event will be held over two days, Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 July , in the splendid setting of the Marchesi Alfieri Estate , whose park and the suggestive orangery will host dozens of daughter labels of the best Italian wine production. To welcome the hundreds of expected wine lovers, the usual tasting counters and a rich schedule of events, which take shape in an environment designed ad hoc by Capellino Design of Asti. To enrich the program, a gastronomic journey entrusted to the Silos restaurants in Turin and Le Scuderie del Castello di Govone , and a wide artistic and musical proposal, which make Sbarbatelle one of the most anticipated events for next July.

"In a summer marked by the desire to be together - says Paolo Poncino, delegate of Ais Asti -, we are happy to welcome the new generations of winemakers and producers from all over Italy to Monferrato, for an event dedicated to sociability and good wine . Among tasting tables, refined typical dishes and a rich artistic and musical program, the Tenuta Marchesi Alfieri will be illuminated by all the passion of the over fifty 'Young gems with deep roots' who accompany our delegation in its work of spreading the wine culture. I therefore invite all fans to join us in the Alfieri hills, to share with us one of the most anticipated events of next summer ”.

Behind the tasting counters more than fifty young producers and over one hundred and fifty labels, from thirteen Italian regions: Piedmont, Valle d'Aosta, Liguria, Emilia Romagna, Lombardy, Veneto, Tuscany, Friuli, Trentino Alto Adige, Marche, Umbria Campania and Sicily. All ambassadors of a generation of stubborn women, united by respect for tradition and a digital soul, able to team up to spread the culture of Italian wine. A social dimension also confirmed by “Adotta una Sbarbatella” , an initiative born on the impulse of the producer Beatrice Gaudio who will bring her Piedmontese colleagues to host those from other regions at home.

In addition to the tasting counters, active on both days from 11.00 to 19.00, during the exhibition there will be guided tastings scheduled in the Sala delle Feste, on the main floor of the Castle.

The event, the producers, the wines ” on the occasion of which the author of“ Social Media Wine ” Barbara Sgarzi will talk with Bianca Roagna and the producers Michela Adriano and Chiara Condello .

The food-wine combination will be enhanced thanks to the gastronomic offer curated by three Piedmontese realities: the Turin restaurant Silos , which in the heart of Vanchiglia offers the Sbarbatelle wines all year round, Le Scuderie del Castello di Govone , which interpret unconventional the typical cuisine of the Unesco heritage hills and, last but not least, Casa Costa di Murisengo with its Agrigelati, made with the milk of goats raised on the farm without adding cow cream or powdered substitutes.
