Our vineyards that wind along steep slopes on terraces of dry stone walls, where agricultural work is arduous and painful, give life to what is rightly defined as heroic viticulture", said the mayor of Vietri sul Mare, Giovanni De Simone.
Alfonso Giannella, member of the national board of directors of "The Most Beautiful Villages in Italy": "This is a special event for Vietri sul Mare, and the food and wine pairing adds further impetus to our already excellent tourist season. In addition to seaside tourism, we'll also have food and wine. I thank everyone who believed in Vietri as a perfect location for this initiative.
There will be an opportunity to continue the event in the coming years, and furthermore, as part of this wine-related project, I have managed to include our town in the European wine tourism itineraries Iter Vitis, a route created by the European Union for wineries that will be able to use signage to be placed throughout the area. I will take action immediately after this event ends: so anyone who comes to Vietri will also know that there are wine itineraries to take . "
Thus Fiorello Primi, president of the Association I Borghi più belli d'Italia “BorgoDiVino is one of the most important national events that the association, thanks to the organizational contribution of Valica, promotes, to relaunch food and wine tourism, an important sector for the post-covid recovery.
Agricultural production, especially wine, is a fundamental element in protecting the landscape and the environment." This sentiment was echoed by Luca Cotichini, marketing manager of Valica: "BorgoDiVino is a national traveling event capable of seamlessly blending tourism with food and wine experiences, bringing together passionate producers in fabulous and unique settings, such as the most beautiful villages in Italy. The tour's goal is to promote tourism and food and wine."
