An exhibition dedicated to mountain wines. It is scheduled for Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th May “Wines all the way up 2024”, organized by the Chisone and Germanasca Valley Municipalities Union in collaboration with the Pinerolese DOC Consortium and Ais Piemonte. A way to celebrate “heroic” crops, companies that try to give life back to impervious terrain by carrying out research on ancient varieties.
The aim of the initiative is, in fact, to make the general public discover it mountain wines produced between 400 and 800 meters above sea level within vineyards with environmental and naturalistic value, as well as a high landscape impact. Within the exhibition, there will be small companies united by the same love for the authenticity of the crops and the recovery of ancient native varieties of the Alpine arc. In addition to the Pinerolo area, protagonists will be those from the Canavese area, the Susa Valley, but also from Valtellina, Alta Langa and Alessandrino Monferrato. Veneto, Liguria and Tuscany are also guests.
All these realities can be discovered at Villa Willyin via Umberto I a Perosa Argentina.
The market exhibition
Saturday and Sunday, from 10am to 7pm, the Villa hosts the mountain wine market exhibition with tasting stands. Present in review 35 producers coming from five regions of Italy: Piedmont, Liguria, Valle d’Aosta, Veneto, Lombardy and Tuscany.
Among the gems, the wine produced on Monte Amiata (with the La Pescinella company of Grosseto) and those made with the vines of Valtelllina, with the Le Strie agricultural company which will offer Valtellina Superiore docg, Sforzato di Valtellina docg, Red di Valtellina doc, Rhaetian Alps Nebbiolo Igt. From Liguria, however, come bottles that derive from rediscovered native varieties: Moscatello di Taggia and Vermentino delle Cinque Terre. There is no shortage of labels produced on the Novara hills, in the Saluzzo area, as Chatus and Pelaverga.
In the front row, there are the wines of Pinerolo, with 13 companies. The Terre del Ramìe Producers Consortium was present. Ramìe is precisely an example of heroic viticulture: it is produced only in the municipalities of Perosa Argentina and Pomaretto, thanks to vineyards at altitude (between 600 and 900 metres), along extremely steep slopes characterized by dry terraces that were cultivated as early as the Middle Ages. Together with the Consortium, there will then be Cantina Dellerba, Giro di Vite, Refourn, Vin del Roc, Scuola Malva, Countadin, La Chabranda, Pizzini, Autin, Beltramo, Ognissanti.
