Sponsored by the Municipality of Chieri and organized by the Go Wine Association in collaboration with the Consortium for the Protection and Promotion of the Freisa di Chieri e Collina Torinese DOC, the event aims to promote and enhance the Freisa in all Piedmontese designations and expressions: Freisa di Chieri and Pinerolese Freisa, Freisa d’Asti, Langhe Freisa, Monferrato Freisa, Colli Tortonesi Freisa. Also in this edition there is the collaboration with Slow Food Piedmont and Valle d’Aosta that will deal with the promotion of local products with various initiatives, helping to increase the importance of the event. In the program: the tasting of wines and typical products in the course of the two days of Saturday, 13th June (4:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m.) and Sunday, 14th June (12:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.). The tasting counter will be set up along Via Vittorio Emanuele II, the historic town center; you can then taste the different designations of Freisa of Piedmont meeting the member companies of the Consortium for the Protection of Freisa di Chieri, a patrol of producers of the region present directly at the tasting counters and enjoy all the other Freisa wines at the six islands of wine in which a selection of labels divided into various designations that characterize the different production areas of the Freisa in Piedmont will be presented. Many companies participated in the event: a total of over 50 companies from Piedmont to represent one of the traditional varieties that characterize the Piedmont vineyard; more than 60 wines. A scenario that privileges the historical names of the designations, emerging realities and some goodies to discover related to vigneron that around Freisa have worked also through experimentation with Universities. Two days of celebration and debate in which Freisa will be the star with some exclusive tasting events promoted by the Consortium for the Protection and Development of Freisa di Chieri e Collina Torinese DOC and led by Sommelier dr.
