Wine is more than just a drink: it is a cultural message, an affirmation of identity, and a testament to hard work, memory, and resilience.
On the occasion of a special evening of the FAI Summer Evenings, Villa Necchi Campiglio-FAI Property in Milan hosts a meeting dedicated to wines produced in lands scarred by war and conflict, where continuing to cultivate vines also means protecting one's land, culture, and history.
🍇 The Story
Discussing the topic will be Marco Pozzali, journalist, writer, and sommelier, and Roberto Cipresso, internationally renowned oenologist, agronomist, and wine consultant.
Through their experiences and knowledge, wine becomes the starting point for describing contested territories, men and women who resist, age-old traditions, and landscapes that continue to thrive despite adversity.
A journey through viticulture, culture, and history to discover how, even in the most challenging contexts, caring for the land can become a form of resistance and dignity.
