Twelve appointments dedicated to the artisanal wines of the Alpine Arc and their producers through poetry, cinema, art and theatre. The third edition of the Vinifera Forum promises to feature a busy calendar of meetings distributed in various places in the province of Trento over the course of four weeks. The review precedes the Salone di Vinifera, the exhibition-market dedicated to artisanal wines from the Alpine Arc, scheduled at the Trento Fair on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 March. That of the Forum is a approach path to the two days of Vinifera, designed to make the producers and the philosophy of the Salone known to the public: sharing, exchange and dialogue to make the wine and those who make it speak.
The curtain on the Forum will rise on Sunday 23 February at 11.00, when Rosso di Mattina will be at the Virgolette space in Trento. A matinee between cinema and mountain wines. Ermanno Olmi's film Le rupi del Vino will be screened, followed by tastings of wines from Valtellinese and Trentino heroic viticulture.
