Returns to Rufina, at Villa di Poggio Reale, the festival of our DOCG, this year reaching its fiftieth edition, with tasting stands, gala dinner, tastings and much more.
Three days of celebration in Rufina for the fiftieth edition of Bacco Artigiano, the festival of Chianti Rufina DOCG that has been held in Rufina for 50 years, the town that gives its name to our denomination.
An articulated program featuring music, art, meetings, but above all wine at the center of the scene: Bacco Artigiano opens with a spectacular four-hands dinner curated by chefs Cristian Borchi (Antica Porta di Levante), Andrea Perini (Al 588), Andrea Carri (Osteria al 12) and Emanuele Bavetta (Il Ginepraio), together with master gelato maker Gianluca Sottani, paired with the great Reserves of Chianti Rufina.
On Saturday and Sunday it will be possible to taste and buy wines and visit the various initiatives on the program, among which two extraordinary masterclasses stand out. The first, on Saturday, at 6:15 PM, curated by AIS sommelier Alessandro Oddo, focuses on a fun and accurate vision-tasting of the so-called other Rufina – from pet nat to foreign varietals to vin santo – as proof of a territory that offers unique stylistic diversity. The second, on Sunday, at 6:15 PM, curated by AIS sommelier Massimo Castellani, features an incredible vertical tasting of Chianti Rufina, from 1973 to the present day. A journey that allows us to trace the key points of the stylistic and productive evolution that have revolutionized quality winemaking.
We await you in Rufina to toast with our Chianti Rufina.
