AIS Veneto: Alba Vitæ raised ¤5,000 for the Gli Occhi di Bea association.

The fifteenth edition of Alba Vitæ —a charity initiative by the Italian Sommelier Association of Veneto (ETS) , which annually supports a local charity with the sale of a limited-edition regional wine—concluded with the presentation of a €5,000 check to Gli Occhi di Bea aps of Villadose (Rovigo), an association founded in memory of Beatrice Stellin, who passed away at the age of 7. The wine chosen for last year's collection was the Trento DOC Brut from Albino Armani of Dolcè (Verona). The proceeds from Alba Vitæ It will fund the "In gioco con te" program , which aims to build a path for the inclusion of children and youth with special needs in team sports and to foster the creation of a social network among families. The pilot project will launch in the municipality of Villadose during the 2026 summer program, but it can be replicated in other locations and at other times of the year.

"Every year, Alba Vitæ amazes us, growing from edition to edition and consolidating the centrality of our Association within the regional social network," explains Gianpaolo Breda , President of AIS Veneto. "A role we have enriched by choosing to embrace our context with a deeper consecration: that of a Third Sector Entity (ETS). This is a conscious evolution, rooted in years of internal reflection, dialogue with AIS Italy, and regulatory compliance. Thanks to ETS status, initiatives like Alba Vitæ will be able to develop on a larger scale and with greater resonance. Our new institutional role therefore represents an opportunity to participate more actively in the creation of an increasingly responsible, supportive, and sustainable future . "

" Alba Vitæ ," continues Giovanni Geremia , AIS Veneto delegate from Rovigo, "is combining a passion for wine with concrete social commitment. Thanks to the many people who, by purchasing magnums of Trento DOC Brut from Albino Armani, will enable the launch of a new solidarity project by the Gli Occhi di Bea aps association. A further thank you goes to those in the various delegations, particularly that of Rovigo, who have worked hard to achieve this result."

“I am touched, excited, and grateful that AIS Veneto has chosen to get involved with us through Alba Vitæ ,” concludes Stefania Pasqualin , President of Gli Occhi di Bea aps. “Seeing so much enthusiasm and participation in sharing our project is extraordinary. I conclude, on behalf of all of us, with another huge thank you for donating, seeing the world through Bea's eyes.”
