Open Wineries 2014 in Emilia Romagna with flavours

In Memory of Luigi Veronelli

The Emilia Romagna region is involved in Open Wineries with fifty wineries. In addition to wine, from Pignoletto to Sangiovese, from Lambrusco to Malvasia, the region is also an expression of local products such as Coppa Piacentina, Culatello di Parma, Modena ham, Parma ham, Parmesan cheese and many other that are a great combination with wine

They will be organized in several wineries tasting workshops, exhibitions, music and the inevitable walks between the rows, in addition to countless free and tastings by appointment.

These are the words about Open Wineries Alberto Fiorini, president of the Wine Tourism Movement Emilia Romagna «I strongly believe in the potential offered by the food tourism as a fulcrum to create opportunities for growth and not only, for all the wineries and restaurants and all crafts activities in the region. These are a magnet for tourists, become alive and dynamic element of culture associated with wine and food that can only encourage the growth of our country».

Many innovations in view of Open Wineries in 2014. First of all the Passport of the Oenonaut. The Passport is a tool intended for those wishing to visit the wineries of the Wine Tourism Movement not only in the days of the official events (Open Wineries, May, Calici di Stelle, August, Open Wineries during Harvest, September Open Wineries at St. Martin, November, Open Wineries at Christmas, December) but throughout the year.

For Emilia Romagna, the main novelty is to support the Decennial Committee Luigi Veronelli, created to enhance, disseminate and historicize the work and thought of the father of Italian food culture, who "has loved and defended with vigor wines and foods of farmers". The Decennial Committee and the Wine Tourism Movement Emilia Romagna, in the day of Open Wineries want so celebrate Luigi Veronelli and dedicate to him, on the anniversary of ten years of the death (29 November 2014), the event.

Gian Arturo Rota, Chairman of the Decennial: «Gino greeted with joy the birth of Open Wineries; he has always invited consumers to go to the places of production, to know and live the tenants, and be able to enter more in confidence with their products. Therefore, a perfect understanding, natural I would say, between the Committee and the Wine Tourism Movement Emilia Romagna to which I am grateful for wanting to walk with us and keep vivid the memory of Gino».
