SUNRISE Go wine presents the sixth edition of the wine festival dedicated to the native vines of Piedmont which will take place Sunday 26 May with the tasting dedicated to the great heritage of the region, in the direct presence of the producers.
A unique event of its kind and of great interest in being able to represent all together, over 40 different Piedmontese vines in the context of the historic center of Alba, in Piazza del Duomo.
An event in the name of biodiversity and wine culture: it allows the public of wine enthusiasts to appreciate the richness of the Piedmontese vineyard, among the most important in Italy. The many vines and wines represented all together promote different corners of the region, combining widespread varieties (such as Nebbiolo, for example) with rare varieties, object of recovery in recent years (such as Baratuciat, Bian ver or Uvalino to name a few).
A tribute to Piedmont, a region which, in the Italian panorama, is perhaps among those with the most important number of native vines cultivated and represented, with excellent results.
The panorama of wines to be tasted will therefore be important: even more labels of many vines will be presented for tasting. The rarest vines, often linked to the research and valorisation work of one or two wineries, will be brought together in a special wine shop.
The event will be enriched with in-depth guided tastings of a selection of South African wines.

«The event – say the Go wine association – reaches its sixth edition; it is part of the initiatives that we have been carrying out for many years in Italy in favor of native vines: it was born in Piedmont to tell the story of the particular richness of the region’s vineyard and reinforces a theme dear to the association. Every year Go Wine promotes a tour dedicated to native wines in six large Italian cities and promotes local wines as a tool to strengthen wine tourism in Italy; the Alba event reinforces this commitment of the association always in the name of general occasions that promote wine culture and knowledge”.
As in every edition, the Go wine association promotes an initiative in favor of research in the wine sector. The city of Alba is home to the event and the reference is not accidental due to the role it has in the world of wine, for the institutions present such as the Wine School and the University, as a reference for a vast territory of excellent wines. The Festival of native Piedmont wines takes place under the patronage of the City of Alba and with the support of the Cassa di Risparmio di Cuneo foundation.
