WINE FESTIVAL

The old town center of Alba becomes for a day a "wine road"!


On Sunday, 29th September 2013, Wine Festival is back. It is the fifteenth edition of an event which brings to the stage, within the old town center, wines that are the most representative expressions of the territory of Langhe and Roero.
The initiative, sponsored by Go Wine, has became in time an event which is very appreciated by the public of wine lovers, both Italians and foreigners. A format that even this year will follow the route from Piazza del Duomo along the entire "Via Maestra", transformed for one day in an ideal 'wine route'.
The event involves the wineries of the municipalities of Langa and Roero (over 25!), maintaining its connotation of festive event, which recalls the period and the joyful character of the harvest, in the presence of local promotion realities, of wineries and wine shops, and of producers' associations.
From 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm the producers, organized according to the participating municipalities, will present their products for tasting and will promote their territorial reality and their manifestations.
The arrangement of the tasting tables will be organized in homogeneous areas so as visitors can ideally walk through the various production areas. From the famous Barolo and Barbaresco, flagships of the territory, to the other noble wines of the Langhe and Roero: Nebbiolo d'Alba, Roero, Roero Arneis, Barbera d'Alba, Dolcetto d' Alba, Dolcetto di Diano and Dolcetto di Dogliani, and many other wines.
Given the subscriptions that are arrivnig, it is supposed to be an extraordinary tasting table with many labels (over 700!) there represented: an extraordinary opportunity to learn about new and different products, to enjoy the charm of a path in the old town center, discovering the typicalities that represent the hills around Alba.
Each visitor can take part in the tasting by purchasing a glass, with the opportunity to choose and then to compare the wines offered for tasting.
