Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th April in Monforte d’Alba Online pre-sale of tickets is open! The Masterclass programme Valtellina with its Nebbiolo wines, special guest of the event.

As announced, “I grandi terroir del Barolo” is back, an initiative created by Go Wine, now in its sixteenth edition and scheduled for Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 April in Monforte d’Alba, one of the most important centers of the Langa del Barolo.

The event will take place in the elegant rooms of Palazzo Martinengo – Moda Venue (Via Cavour, 10), in the historic centre of the town.

The event has further grown in recent editions, maintaining intact the character that inspired its birth: an extraordinary opportunity to learn more about Barolo and its territory, with the distinct geographical mentions that make up the production area at its core.

Valuing with tasting cellars that produce Barolo through distinct labels that tell different sites and parts of the territory. Exalting the soul and peculiarity of Nebbiolo, interpreting the diversity as a wealth that invites to better understand the land and the greatness of the denomination.

The program includes tasting tables, meetings with the wineries, exclusive masterclasses and visits to the cellar: a formula that invites you to a delicious weekend in the Langa of Barolo to deepen your knowledge “in the field” of the new vintage of one of the greatest wines in the world.

The Consortium for the Protection of Valtellina Wines is a special guest at the event

The Consorzio di Tutela dei Vini di Valtellina will be present at the event to tell about terroir and wines, with a special focus on its sub-zones that characterize a unique territory.

They like to call it the “Nebbiolo of the Alps”, it represents a territory with a great wine culture, it shares the presence of Nebbiolo with the Langhe

Its landscape is unique, with the many dry stone walls that can be seen along the valley and which make it the largest terraced wine-growing area in Italy.

As the Consortium likes to define it … “wine in Valtellina is the result of the continuous dialogue between the Alps, the energy of the sun, the breeze of Lake Como and the agricultural activity among the terraces”.

We will talk about all this and… taste it on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th April.

Two masterclasses will be dedicated to the comparison between Barolo and Valtellina, while a tasting table will present a selection of Valtellina wines from different cellars in the area.

Auf der Düsseldorfer Messe finden Meisterkurse und Walk Around Tastings statt, um die Exzellenz umbrischer Weine zu entdecken. Wie im letzten Jahr ist Promocamera – Handelskammer Umbrien – neben den Mitgliedsunternehmen von Umbria Top ein besonderer Aussteller.

Umbria Top steht bei der ProWein 2025 , die vom 16. bis 18.

Mit der Genossenschaft umbrischer Weingüter werden sechs hervorragende Unternehmen anwesend sein: Chiorri, Berioli, Fattoria Le Poggette, Moretti Omero, Blasi Cantina und Tudernum , die bereit sind, das Gebiet und die Qualität der regionalen Weinproduktion zu vertreten. „ Die Teilnahme an der ProWein ist für uns immer eine Chance, internationale Sichtbarkeit zu erlangen“, betont der Präsident von Umbria Top Massimo Sepiacci , „ insbesondere für Unternehmen, die historisch gesehen besondere Vertriebskanäle in Deutschland hatten.“ Umbrien verfügt über ein außergewöhnliches Weinerbe, das es verdient, erzählt und gefördert zu werden. Mit der Meisterklasse und dem Walk Around Tasting möchten wir Fachleuten der Branche ein einzigartiges und authentisches Erlebnis bieten, um unser Land und unsere Weine zu entdecken .“ Am Sonntag, den 16. März, findet um 12 Uhr im ICE-Bereich in Pavillon 15, Stand F68, die Meisterklasse mit dem Titel „ Umbrien – Das verborgene Juwel “ statt.

Dies steht im Einklang mit dem Thema „Wurzeln“ für 2025, das die Historizität der umbrischen Weinbautradition in Verbindung mit der Modernität der Interpretationen von Stilen und Rebsorten hervorhebt.

Wie im letzten Jahr wird es neben den Mitgliedsunternehmen von Umbria Top, Promocamera – Handelskammer Umbrien , einen besonderen Aussteller geben: Es werden die Gewinner des regionalen Weinwettbewerbs 2025 „L‘Umbria del Vino“ vorgestellt. Die Repräsentativität der auf der ProWein vertretenen umbrischen Weine wird daher durch eine Präsentation der Gewinnermarken erweitert, darunter Weiß-, Rotweine, Roséweine, Qualitätsschaumweine und Dessertweine. Die Anwesenheit von Promocamera eröffnet in diesem Jahr auch ein Kooperationsprogramm, das den Sektor mit Werbeaktivitäten für Qualitätsweine unterstützt.

Umbria Top bestätigt damit sein Engagement für die internationale Förderung hervorragender umbrischer Weine: nächster Termin: Vinitaly 2025.

This collaboration marks a strategic step for Val d’Oca , which is expanding its offering to respond to a constantly evolving market, increasingly attentive to innovative proposals in the no-alcohol segment.

Val d’Oca ​Val d’Oca, a brand synonymous with excellence in the world of Prosecco, is the toponym of a hill cultivated with Glera. A few houses interspersed with a road that zigzags up along a tree grove make up an evocative landscape among the Treviso Prealps, in the hilly area between Valdobbiadene and Conegliano, protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2019. The specialist brand of Cantina Produttori di Valdobbiadene, a company founded in 2008 at the time 100% owned and subject to the direction and coordination of Cantina Produttori di Valdobbiadene, takes its name from this location, which had the task of marketing and promoting the cooperative’s products. Since the early 1990s, Val d’Oca has been the indication of the brand of wines intended exclusively for the HoReCa channel. In June 2023, 98% of Val D’Oca Srl was sold to Valdobbiadene Impresa SC, a cooperative company without prevailing mutuality and established by the members of Cantina Produttori di Valdobbiadene as well as the Winery itself.
