15th edition of a wine festival in a village recognized with the Bandiera Arancione from Touring Club Italiano — over 100 Vermentino labels from Liguria, Tuscany, Sardinia, and Corsica poured side by side through the historic centre's palazzo courtyards, with an 'Ambasciatore del Vermentino' award presented each year to the Sardinian partners who have supported the event since its first edition. Guided tastings, a vineyard trekking walk, and pairings with local specialties like sgabei, stuffed mussels, and marinated salt cod round out the weekend.
