West by North Taste

On 28th and 29th November "North by West Taste" will debut, a tasting dedicated to wines produced in the territory of Biella whose historical viticulture vocation is recognized worldwide. The Italian Sommelier Association of Biella and the association of producers have joined forces and intents to offer all fans a comprehensive overview of the Biella wines. From the designations that span the whole territory such as Coste della Sesia Doc and Canavese Doc, to those relating to smaller areas, such as Bramaterra Doc and Erbaluce di Caluso Docg or even a "village", such as Lessona Doc, linked to the name of the country of production: in the event more than 20 wineries with more than 80 wines will take part.

In the month of May in Lessona the newly formed Biella Hills Producers Association was presented and on that occasion, together with the AIS which in the past organized a meeting dedicated to wines from Biella, the idea of promoting the area through an annual event to be organized in autumn has come. And here it is: it is called "North to West Taste" to explore the territory of Biella, as well as through the North West Passage explorers reached and reach the Arctic. Producers will be in the front row to make taste and tell their wines from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, while the sommelier Mauro Carosso from Turin, member of the AIS National Council and enthusiast of the history and wine production in the Biella area, on Sunday at 4:00 p.m. will hold a conference. There will be also an exhibition with vintage photographs of the Biella wine world.

Admission is open to all. The cost is of 10 euro, for the tasting of wines and gourmet products.



Starting time: 3:00 p.m.

Ending time: 7:00 p.m.
