Merano
On the occasion of the 34th edition, the Annual Summit of Merano WineFestival returns to Teatro Puccini: a moment of meeting and exchange among experts, producers, researchers and industry professionals.
This stage is configured as an agora of excellence, where knowledge is not transmitted by accumulation but through dialectical stratification, through that particular alchemy that arises from the interweaving of diverse and complementary visions. Here, not only the immediate challenges of technological innovation or environmental sustainability are discussed, but the foundational questions that redefine the relationship between tradition and avant-garde, between territorial identity and global horizons, between the millennia-old art of winemaking and the vertigo of a market in perpetual metamorphosis.
