A single evening celebrating the 'viticoltura eroica' of the Cinque Terre — vines grown on steep, narrow, hand-worked terraces — with around 17 local wineries pouring in Via Roma and Piazza Marconi. Pro Loco president Gianni Moggia traditionally opens the evening quoting Petrarch's own praise of these same vineyards, paired with rice cake and local specialties.
