VININCONTRO 2019

From September 12 to 15, at the Ricetto di Candelo, the XXVI edition of Vinincontro will take place, an event dedicated to the tasting of wines from the Upper Piedmont, street food, conferences and workshops, music and a walk in the vineyard.

The 2019 edition is very composite: the theme is given by the wines of the producers of Upper Piedmont – represented by the Alto Piemonte Consortium – and by the Biellese flavors.

The absolute protagonist is Ricetto, one of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy and the Orange Flag, a community winery par excellence, a “unicum” that bears witness to the deep roots of the people of Candelo with regard to viticulture and peasant culture in general. An ecomuseum itinerary inside and outside the walls.

A novelty: the preview of Thursday 12 September from 20.00, with guided tastings of wines and local products (in collaboration with Onaf and Onas).

Walk with the author

Wool Experience has a program that brings together, during its long summer, different moments organized by the Amici della lana Association.

The project takes place in collaboration with numerous associations, the Biellese Museum Network and the contribution of the Cassa di Risparmio di Biella Foundation.

Sunday 15 September at 3.00 pm there will be a guided tour with museum operators and at 4.30 pm the “Walk with the author” returns, between the Lanificio and the canal, with “La pelle del lupo” by the noir writer Fabio Girelli, a Biellese resident in Turin.

Among the founders of the Torinoir collective, Girelli is considered a new promise of the noir genre in Italy.

This will be the only appointment in our Province that will see the writer in the company of two Turin actors Laura Righi and Gian Carlo Barbero, who will accompany us to meet the deputy manager Andrea Castelli, protagonist of the novel.

The scenario in which the skin of the wolf unwinds starts from a plane tree in the center of Turin where a chamois leather is thrown and develops in the province of Turin, even in that of Biella, to reach the Vatican. The assistant chief will follow the traces of some macabre staging, with a series of mutilated corpses abandoned in the woods of the Turin hills. He will meet a fascinating photographer, mysterious and daring, and a medieval bestiary in which men are called like animals and animals have human features. The truth will be sought in an ancient Alpine legend.

The book was published as an attachment to “La Stampa” on June 20, 2019.
