From May 6th to 7th the 3rd edition of IOVINO

The event organized by the cultural association “IO VINO”, in collaboration with Regione Lazio, LAZIOcrea, MIBACT, Coopculture and the Municipality of Santa Marinella, will see the participation of over 60 producers and the holding of several seminars held by experts.

This year Marche and Campania will be protagonists, both facing the sea but on the opposite sides of the “Boot” (Italy, translator’s note). IO VINO 2018 will give the opportunity to learn more about these two magnificent lands, since the reflections of the environment and local culture can be traced even in the typical products of a place and wine is certainly one of the most important to understand the essence.

The two regions, despite being washed by the sea, have a different climate because Campania is subject to Mediterranean and Atlantic currents while Marche is lashed by those coming from the Balkans. This different geographical location therefore influences and diversifies the wine production that, for each region, takes on specific features that make it unique and inimitable. Precisely this difference will be the object of comparison during the two days on the Lazio coast.

The exhibitors will offer the public wines produced with autochthonous vines – strictly D.O.C. and D.O.C.G. – which can be tasted at the tasting tables.

During the event, on Sunday May 6th, two thematic seminars will be held on Greco and Pecorino:

At 3.00 pm at “Manica Corta”, Francesco Quercetti, enogastronomic critic and coordinator for Regione Marche of the Slow Wine guide, will conduct a seminar on Pecorino in the 2014 vintage.

At 5.00 pm at “Manica Corta”, Alessio Pietrobattista, journalist, collaborator and taster for the Gambero Rosso Italian wine guide, and Monica Coluccia freelance journalist, will conduct a seminar on Greco in the 2012 vintage.
