Masterclass "The Best of Alto Piedmont"

Masterclass "The Best of Alto Piedmont"

followed by continuous wine buffet Piedmont Local Grape Varieties


Date: March 28 & 29, 2026

Location: Business Center De Regenboog, De Regenboog 11, in Mechelen
Focus of our two-day event is of course the Masterclass with 12 top wines from 8 wineries from Alto Piemonte. Just to situate: Alto Piemonte is the area located in northern Italy between Turin and Milan and produces wines as qualitative as Barolo and Barbaresco.

During this master class you will be briefly introduced to the history of this region, which was once much more important than the region of Barolo & Barbaresco but underwent a complete changedue to Phylloxera. Large part of the winemakers of yore went to work in the wool industry in Biella or the car industry in Turin. However in the last 20 years, Alto Piemonte or Northern Piedmont has become a region of equal importance to the region around Alba in international markets in all respects.

In addition to the well-known DOCGs Ghemme and Gattinara , do you know the Docs Lessona, Bramattera, Sizzano, Coste delle Sesia, Fara, Boca , etc... This is an excellent opportunity to taste the wines that are still unknown or lesser known to you , to possibly dialogue with each other and to get to know the man/woman in charge of the winery.

In this 2-hour master class, in addition to the intro, participants will get an interview with each of the eight winemakers, a tasting of their top wine(s) with a total of 12 wines including
