Chiuro, 21 August 2018. La Valtellina is a unique territory in the world, whose richness and articulation are expressed in the wines produced on the terraced Rhaetian side, where over the centuries the landscape has been shaped into an ideal place to produce "Nebbiolo from the Alps". Extraordinary destination to visit for wine lovers, and more generally, for travelers, tourists and beauty lovers.
Precisely for this Municipality and the Pro Loco of Chiuro, for 35 editions, they have been organizing the "Bunch of Gold”As a qualified appointment with the great Valtellina wines.
From 7 to 16 September fragments of history, encounters with taste, moments of culture, entertainment and music will be the background to the main protagonist of the event: Valtellina mountain viticulture.
Rich as always, the program of the town immersed in one of the most important wine-growing areas of Lombardy.
Ideal setting for concerts, exhibitions, tastings, conferences, wine competitions, shows, gastronomic itineraries, sporting events on foot and by bike, workshops, games and much more.
Ten days among vineyards and ancient villages, among the memorable glimpses of the historic center of Chiuro, which it preserves intact the medieval layout where nobles lived in buildings crowned by towers. Even today the narrow streets, the cobbled streets, the embellished portals, hide ancient courtyards and noble palaces where it is possible to breathe stories of the past.
A dip in the past, but with a look at the future of viticulture in the province of Sondrio.
During the month of September, the wineries and restaurants of Chiuro join the event by offering typical Valtellina dishes accompanied by fine local wines. The complete program is available at www.prolocochiuro.it
