The best of high altitude wines: discover the extraordinary products of these extreme areas, fruit of the heroic dedication and passion of the men and women who live there.
The event takes place in the majestic setting of the Fortress of Bard in the Aosta Valley and is a great exhibition of wines from so-called “heroic viticulture”, practiced in extreme environments where indigenous grapes are grown: these are uncontaminated environments on steeply sloping land and at high altitudes where the particular climatic conditions produce wines with unique characteristics.
Over these two days, there are numerous wine producers from the European Alpine regions and some special guests from other areas representative of heroic viticulture.
The basic idea behind the event is the discovery, meeting and exchange of experiences, knowledge and stories related to the difficulty and passion in growing vines in heroic regions.
There are many initiatives scheduled: Tasting of “extreme wines” and award-winning wines of the last international competition of mountain wines, tasting, round tables and conferences.
