This year, VinNatur Tasting will also join the celebrations for the centenary of the birth of Luigi Veronelli , journalist, editor, and food and wine writer, commemorating his extraordinary contribution to Italian wine culture and his role as a pioneer of wine criticism.

"Luigi Veronelli made a decisive contribution to redefining the meaning of viticulture in our country: he didn't just talk about wine, he also defended and gave a voice to winemakers. We recognize him as a clear precursor of the values ​​now considered fundamental in the natural wine sector," explains Angiolino Maule , President of VinNatur. "That's why we chose to remember him on this anniversary, drawing attention to what he meant and continues to mean."

Since its first editions at Villa Favorita, VinNatur Tasting has become a point of reference for enthusiasts, professionals, and those curious about drinking according to nature. This edition will also feature plenty of opportunities for meeting and learning: three masterclasses , Guided by wine experts, they will enrich the event's program.
