In the heart of Bergamo province, Scanzorosciate transforms into an oasis of flavours and traditions with the Festa del Moscato e dei Sapori Scanzesi. This event celebrates Moscato di Scanzo, one of Italy's most prestigious wines: a red DOCG passito that encapsulates centuries of winemaking expertise and the dedication of generations of producers. A unique opportunity to discover how a distinctive hilly territory has managed to create an oenological excellence recognised worldwide. From 4 to 7 September, the streets of the village will come alive with tastings, guided vineyard visits, and direct encounters with the producers who safeguard this wine treasure. It is far more than a wine festival—it is a complete experience that embraces local gastronomy: aged Bergamo cheeses, artisanal cured meats, and traditional desserts will grace the tables, creating unforgettable pairings with the celebrated passito. Exhibitions, performances, and concerts will accompany visitors through an atmosphere of genuine conviviality, where the pleasure of taste merges with the beauty of the landscape. Among vineyard rows and evocative views of the Bergamo hills, the festival becomes an invitation to discover how tradition, territory, and passion intertwine to create something extraordinary.
