Online ticket sales open. One of the most delicious and popular food and wine events in Piedmont has reached its 23rd edition this year.
The Go Wine association promotes and organizes the event in agreement with the Municipality of Cocconato and with the Cocconato Riviera del Monferrato Consortium .
A successful formula that is renewed in every edition and which promotes several factors: the valorisation of the places (the landscape of Cocconato, the historic center to walk), the gastronomic tradition (typical products such as robiola di Cocconato, many taste places in the town and surrounding areas), wine with a parterre of wineries that team up in the local Consortium and that open the doors of the event to other wineries in Piedmont.
Cocconato will thus be transformed into a virtual wine route, in which wine tastings will alternate with typical local products, which will fill the historic center of the town, hosting the Cocconato and Monferrato wineries.
The preview of the event will take place on Friday 30 August with “Il Salotto di Cocco…Wine” , a moment dedicated to the table with the flavors and wines of the Cocconato cellars. Here each Cocconato winery will present a favorite wine in a special wine shop. The wines can be paired with dishes designed for the occasion by Cocconato restaurateurs.
The wines presented at the “Salotto” will be served only in this special moment and will not be present at the tasting tables of the event, creating an exclusive tasting.
Also on Friday at 6.30 pm there will be an in-depth guided tasting of Cocconato’s Barbera d’Asti Superiore, reserved for the press and professional operators.
