In the picturesque Piazza del Campo, Ente Nazionale Vini, on 10th August at Calici di Stelle will give you the opportunity to taste excellences and to observe the sky The city opens at the same time three unique locations and the Torre del Mangia extraordinarily up to midnight.
Even Siena is ready for the most awaited summer event from the world of wine, able to involve lovers of good wine and not only, fascinated by the idea of toasting all together under the most starry sky of the year to celebrate a common passion: that for great wines.
If we choose, for a toast looking at the sky, one of the most picturesque locations in Italy as a background, the historic
Loggia dei Nove of the Palazzo Pubblico, the atmosphere is perfect to make many wishes: all this is Calici di Stelle, on 10th August, in the night of Sain Lawrence. An atmosphere created by Enoteca Italiana that will give tou the opportunity to taste the excellences of the lands of Siena and simultaneously to observe the stars in collaboration with the Unione Astrofili Senesi. All participants will have the opportunity to taste a selection of the best wines of the lands of Siena organized in an imaginary route that will range from sparkling wines, to white wines, ending with the great red wines (list at the bottom of the text). The tasting will be combined with 'pane di Stelle', offered for the occasion by the bakery of Ravacciano.
This opportunity stems from the desire of the City of Siena to turn on the stars of Bacchus putting together wine, inextricably linked with art, history and culture of an area of which the city is the capital.
But the night of Saint Lawrence in Siena, from 9:00 to midnight, does not end here. It will be possible, exceptionally, to visit also the
Torre del Mangia.
Thanks to the synergy of the various institutional bodies, the Monte dei Paschi Foundation will open to the public the first floor of
Palazzo Sansedoni and the Cappella del Beato, allowing you to admire also, extraordinarily, important and impressive works of art, including Saint Lucia (Sano di Pietro), S. Jerome Penitent (Rutilio Manetti), Adoration of the Shepherds (Pietro di Francesco Orioli), belonging to the Works of Art Collection of the Foundation. The collection contains masterpieces somehow related to the Sienese territory and recovered after that over the centuries had gone missing in Italy and abroad. At the end of the route, you can enjoy a tasting organized by Enoclub Siena and AIS (Italian Sommelier Association, Delegation of Siena) and Vernice Cultural Projects. Meanwhile, the fantastic scenery of Piazza del Campo will become, from 8 pm to midnight, creative place for the several Sienese artists who will make live graphic artworks.
At the museum complex of Santa Maria della Scala, a tasting organized by the Cities of Wine Association will present the wines of the Mayor's Choice Competition, with live music by the Siena Jazz Foundation and the Istituto Superiore di Studi Musicali "Rinaldo Franci".
To sum up, the appointment with the stars scheduled in Siena is very rich.
