Two days of exhibition dedicated to the autochthonous wines of the Alpine regions, on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 May in the outdoor areas of Trento Fiere, will bring a renaissance to Northern Italy’s wineries, will give value to local vineyards and will award a special prize to the best winemaker.
Vinifera 2021 will host over 70 producers from the Italian Alpine regions, selected by the event organiser Associazione Centrifuga, ensuring compliance with social distances and health regulations.
“Our intent is to give a positive message, one of optimism and rebirth – comments Simone Prezzi, vice president of the Centrifuga association – since Vinifera exhibition was created as a journey of discovery of authentic and genuine territories, those of the Alps, made up of people who work hard and live off the products of their land. After so many months of restrictions and isolation, it is right to start looking to the future and building new bridges, clearly in compliance with all safety regulations. Our wish is that Vinifera will be a moment of peaceful sharing”.
