"SORSI D’AUTORE" 2015

Culture, art, good wine: "Sorsi d’Autore" is back in the most prestigious Venetian Villas


Culture and wine come together in the picturesque setting of the most beautiful Venetian Villas thanks to the 16th edition of "Sorsi d’Autore", an event organized by the AIDA Foundation and the Venetian Villas Regional Institute (Veneto Region) with the collaboration of the Venetian Villas Association and the Veneto Italian Sommelier Association.

The success of previous editions (4,100 visitors only last year) led the partners to propose an increasingly appreciated formula. From 20th June to 12th July there will be four meetings, with free admission, which will bring guests to another dimension, where beauty, real–life stories, gastronomy and culture will merge into a really intense moment. As always, in effect, the scheduled meetings will match the promotion of the cultural heritage of the Veneto region to current issues and the pleasure of good wine.

All events will offer the opportunity of a wine tour of prestige in collaboration with AIS Veneto: in effect, there will be two tastings, by reservation only that, starting from 6:30 p.m., will accompany each evening. An opportunity to discover the sophisticated productions of the Consortium for the Protection of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Wine and the Consortium for the Protection of the Valpolicella Wines, the two historical realities of Veneto that joined the new edition of the initiative. The sommeliers of AIS Veneto, in effect, will accompany guests to the discovery of the best selections of participating wineries, as well as in a cheese tasting with the Consortium for the Protection of Asiago DOP and in a sausages tasting with Salumificio De Stefani. In the background, different scenarios, but of timeless charm and style: the most beautiful Venetian Villas surrounded by the beautiful vineyards that represent the historical and cultural tradition of the region.

Introduced by the journalist Luca Telese, the discussion–meetings of the 2015 edition confirm a parterre of high level. This year, guests will be some of the most famous people in the world of national journalism: on 20th June, in Villa dei Cedri in Valdobbiadene (TV), on stage there will be Giuseppe Cruciani and Davide Parenzo of the La Zanzara program of Radio 24; on 27th June, at Villa Giusti Suman of Zugliano (VI), the meeting will have as protagonist Carlo Petrini, founder of the Slow Food movement.

On Saturday, 4th July, the director of the La7 Newscast Enrico Mentana will be at the Estense Castle of Arquà Polesine (RO); to conclude the series of meetings, the event of 12th July at Villa Farsetti of Santa Maria di Sala (VE) with the host of PiazzaPulita Corrado Formigli. And each of the evenings will also see the presence, on the stage, of a representative of the Veneto Sommelier Association which, together with the protagonists of the meeting, will tell the wine tradition of the territories involved in the review.

Finally, "Sorsi d’Autore" 2015 will also offer a time for those who love to walk into the nature, the walk & wine: walks in the vineyards of Valdobbiadene and Gambellara, scheduled for 20th June and 12th July, to know the terroir, the history and the tradition of these historically devoted to viticulture areas.

The event is a project of the Veneto Region, the Venetian Villas Regional Institute, the Aida Foundation, in collaboration with the Consortium for the Protection of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Wine and the Consortium for the Protection of the Valpolicella Wines, with the support of the Antonveneta Foundation, Recoaro, the Consortium for the Protection of the Asiago Cheese and Crich, in addition to the participation of the Veneto Italian Sommelier Association and the patronage of AVV (Venetian Villas Association).
