At 12.00 - GATTINARA, A PARTICULAR STORY
Particular wines, in a personal way, specific, typically recognizable. Nebbiolo from the grand Gattinara isn’t a mere trifle, it’s not only a little denomination from the north of Piedmont. It represents history, literature, poetry, emotions. Most of all it’s an authentic wine of terroir, that we have to learn more about. Behind it lies a particular story…

Tasting of six grand Gattinara wines, guided by Francesco Falcone
€ 12,00 - reductions € 8,00

Cod. 0F
At 15.00 - A LIFE OF CONSULTING - A MEETING WITH SERGIO MOLINO and THE HISTORY OF HIS NEBBIOLI, a RETROSPECTIVE from 1996 to 2004

Francesco Falcone: <<…Once upon a time there was a wine-maker, acclaimed by the crowds of critics and wine lovers, like a kind of Wizard, such as Merlin, but a “bourgeois” with a magical recipe to make good winning wines. As those days are over, we’ve all started thinking about the origins, of the pureness, the authenticity of the terroir. When I met Sergio Molino’s wines, I immediately thought of having a tasting with him. Because he is, more than a wine-maker, he is a vine-dresser lending a hand to consulting. I invited him to Vinum, and he accepted immediately.>

The wines that will be tasted will be commentated by Francesco Falcone and Sergio Molino

Cod. 0G
At 18.00 - THE NEBBIOLI from the NORTH of PIEDMONT
– presented by Francesco Falcone
This will be a healthy walk in the grand vines in the north of Piedmont. For once, we’ll forget about heat, pulp and sweetness. This time we’ll concentrate on details, acidy vibrations; we’ll aim at recognizing balance, fineness in the tannins, the tension of its growth. And we’ll imagine the terroir like a puzzle, unfortunately less known by the enthusiasts.

Tasting of Boca, Lessona, Fara, Bramaterra, Ghemme and Carema, guided by Francesco Falcone € 12,00 - reductions € 8,00
