Albarossa on the table
April 20 - May 20
The Consorzio Barbera d’Asti e vini del Monferrato presents the fifth edition of “Albarossa in tavola,” starting April 20 and lasting for a month
“Albarossa in Tavola” aims to create a direct link between producers and restaurateurs.
The event, now in its 5th edition, will offer the opportunity to taste the Albarossa grape variety in some 40 restaurants in Turin and the Monferrato area, through a unique food and wine experience. Diners will be able to taste a dish specially designed, by each individual restaurateur, for the special event and paired with a glass of Albarossa, from the producer present in that specific restaurant, exploring new harmonies of flavors and exalting the extraordinary peculiarities of this grape variety.
It will also be possible, in participating restaurants, to consult informational material on the native black grape variety from which it takes its name: born in 1938 by Giovanni Dalmasso-one of the fathers of Italian ampelography by crossing Barbera and Nebbiolo-it has been able to win a vast audience of admirers not only on the domestic market but also on the international one.
The initiative aims to promote Piedmont DOC Albarossa wine, but it is also an opportunity to strengthen relationships between producers and restaurants, enhancing collaboration between the wine and restaurant worlds.
“Albarossa a Tavola is a unique opportunity to celebrate an extraordinary grape variety, which tells the story of a vine resulting from the crossing of Barbera and Nebbiolo di Dronero and pioneered by Professor Giovanni Dalmasso in 1938. A wine that represents the identity of Piedmont.” continued President Vitaliano “Through gastronomic pairings, we want to enhance its elegance and complexity, demonstrating how it can perfectly accompany our culinary tradition. This event is a sensory journey that combines territory, passion and conviviality.”
Through these promotional events, the Barbera d’Asti e Vini del Monferrato Consortium reaffirms its commitment to promoting the appellations that represent the beating heart of a unique territory, combining the protection of traditions with a strong impulse to popularization.
