Sorsi D'Autore 2013

Wine and culture meet again this year at Sorsi d'Autore (Author Sips), an event that from 27th June to 20th July offers a series of meetings with big names of the entertaining industry who will taste together with the public the wine and food excellences of the territory in some of the the most beautiful villas of the Veneto region.

The cultural event reaches its 14th edition in 2013 and renews its aim of promoting wine and food excellences as well as tourism, history and landscape of the Veneto region. To achieve this goal personalities of national culture will be hosted within some prestigious villas of the Veneto Region: Villa Mosconi Bertani of Arbizzano of Negrar (VR), Villa Caffo of Rossano Veneto (VI), Villa Venier Contarini of Mira (VE) , Villa Badoer of Fratta Polesini (RO).

In fact, since 2010 this event has developed a significant regional character enhancing the territory through cultural, historical, scenic, food and wine promotion, for a more substantial visibility, active and effective in the atmosphere of the splendid Venetian Villas.

Moreover, the union between the "art" of winemaking, which has always characterized the historical and cultural tradition of the Veneto region, and the architectural and historical heritage represented by the Villas, was an impressive vehicle for rediscovering origins and traditions.

The 2013 edition will also offer again guided tastings with AIS sommelier of doc wines and oenogastronomic products by the Consortia and wineries which are sponsors of the initiative.

Sorsi d'Autore will then be an important opportunity for the public to visit beautiful homes that are an integral part of the historical, cultural and architectural region.
Paolo Mieli will inaugurate the festival on Thursday, 27th June, at 9:00 pm, in Villa Mosconi Bertani of Arbizzano di Negrar (Verona), sharing with the audience his experience of life between television and press. Among the most prominent men of culture on the national scene, Paolo Mieli is an Italian journalist and writer who is mainly engaged in politics and history. He was director of the newspaper La Stampa from 1990 to 1992, and of Il Corriere della Sera from 1992 to 1997 and from 2004 to 2009. Since 2009 he is President of RCS Libri.

The meeting, chaired by the Director-journalist Alessandro Russello, will take place with the support of the Culture Department of the Province of Verona, the Municipality of Negrar and the cooperation of Bertani Wine Productions, of which you will taste the Lepia Soave 2011 wine and the Decima Aura 2004 wine.
