"Rubino | Rotte del vino"

There will be nearly 50 wineries that will be present, on 1st and 2nd November, in the second edition of "Rubino | Rotte del vino", the two–day event dedicated to the Sicilian excellences to be held in Scicli, in the province of Ragusa, in the South–East of Sicily.

"Rubino | Rotte del vino" will host the best wine producers, with the scientific collaboration of the Association of Italian Sommeliers (AIS) of Sicily, in a context of flavors, music and art, among memorable sights and experiences to live.

Scicli focuses on experiential tourism and proposes to travelers and visitors a unique aesthetic journey, in a "happy city", as defined by Armando Rotoletti, made of simple people, who are happy because they live in a beautiful place, or, as Elio Vittorini from Scicli said, "one of the most beautiful towns in the world".

The Cultural Association S.E.M. – Monumental Expressive Spaces – is in its third event in the territory of Scicli, in a little more than a year of operation has already developed many partnerships, both locally and regionally, taking part in competitions, events and exhibitions.

Consolidated is now the participation of restaurant owners and operators of entertainment venues, who will create menus and dishes specifically for the event (from 6 to 40 €) inspired by the Charter of Flavors, and moreover, there will be guided tastings of wines and local products, with the support of industry experts. Travelers from all over the world will be welcomed by professionals of the sector, with the Scicli Pass dedicated to the Rubino event that will be online soon.

Rubino is also innovation, with the continuous stream of the event over the three days, to be followed easily using the hashtag #rubino2014 on the Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Google+ profiles.
