An invitation to the event news and updates on the 23rd edition of the event FRIDAY 30 AUGUST Preview (Sold out) SATURDAY 31 AUGUST AND SUNDAY 1 SEPTEMBER 2024.
The Go Wine association promotes and organizes the event with the Consorzio Cocconato Riviera del Monferrato and in agreement with the Municipality of Cocconato.
The cellars of Cocconato, the islands of wine
Cocconato will transform into a virtual wine route, a path that will wind from Piazza Cavour along Via Roma to the Cortile del Collegio, alternating wine tastings with typical local products.
A completely pedestrianized historic center, animated for the event: it will host the cellars of Cocconato, other parts of Piedmont and some artisans of taste with their tasting proposals.
In particular, the Cocconato cellars will welcome all participants, each managing an exhibition space and telling the story of the vineyards and wines of this corner of Piedmont. Barbera d’Asti is the most
important and best known in the area; the production extends however to other red wines from native vines, to appreciated selections of white wines that find ideal conditions to express themselves on the soils of Cocconato.

On Sunday 1st September , the third day of the event, there will be an interesting guided tasting dedicated to the Nebbiolo grape variety grown in this part of the Asti area.
An ancient vocation that harks back first and foremost to the Albugnano denomination, which has been present at the event for years with selections from the wineries that are part of the Albugnano 549 association.
And with some labels linked to Cocconato wineries, which over the years have dedicated attention to the variety, with new interpretations, thus supporting the traditional cultivation of Barbera.
In the courtyard of Casa Fasoglio, at 5 pm, a tasting will be held which, starting from the characteristics of the vine, aims to analyze the soils and characteristics of the wines produced, in an interesting comparison.
The tasting will be conducted by Professor Vincenzo Gerbi.
It is reserved free of charge for all participants of the Cocco…Wine event who must confirm the reservation by filling out the attached coupon. (Reservations will be accepted until all available seats are filled).
