The lucky toast? It’s the one with Asti in the glasses of the Internazionali Bnl d’Italia in Rome

Wine & sport is one of the combinations that, especially in recent years, is enjoying growing success, bringing wine enthusiasts closer to sport and athletes to wine, thanks to the fact that the most prestigious and anticipated events are now real global “showcases” also for made in Italy food and wine products, with important impacts on the cities and territories in which they are staged. The Asti Docg Consortium is the one who signs it and, with a “triple ace”, for the third consecutive year confirms itself as the wine partner of the Internazionali Bnl d’Italia, scheduled from 6 to 19 May in Rome, with the Asti Spumante and Moscato d’Asti Docg as “Official Sparkling Wine” to celebrate the victories of world tennis champions, starting with Jannik Sinner as a “lucky toast”, and to accompany convivial moments outside the red earth of the Foro Italico.
The ATP Masters 1000 scheduled in the capital is one of the most prestigious events on the circuit played on clay. For edition no. 81 at the moment 12 Italians are expected in the main draw. Leading the Italian group is Jannik Sinner, n. 2 in the ATP ranking, followed by Lorenzo Musetti, Matteo Arnaldi, the ambassador of the Consortium Lorenzo Sonego, Flavio Cobolli, Luciano Darderi, Luca Nardi as well as the “wild cards” assigned to Matteo Berrettini, Fabio Fognini, Matteo Gigante, Giulio Zeppieri and Andrea Vavassori.
In a historical moment in which the Italian athletes are standing out for their winning performances, “we continue a collaboration that is proving to be increasingly significant, both for the global caliber of the events and for the target of enthusiasts able to reach, and which will culminate with the Nitto ATP Finals where for the next two years we will be in Turin among the “Silver Partners” of the final act of the tennis season in which the best eight players in the world compete”, underlines Lorenzo Barbero, president of the Asti Docg Consortiumamong the oldest consortiums in Italy, which embraces 51 municipalities between Alessandria, Asti and Cuneo where the first sparkling wine in the history of Italy is produced, in the 10,000 hectares in the wine-growing landscapes of the Langhe-Roero and Monferrato, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
