Collisioni Festival – Wine & Food in Barolo

Collisioni, the AgriRock born in Barolo

Collisioni is one of Italy's most original festivals: an event created to bring together great music with literature, culture, and the agriculture of a unique territory, the Langhe, home to Barolo wine and white truffles. Although the major concerts have moved to Alba, the festival retains its most authentic soul in Barolo, in the province of Cuneo: the food and wine experience, which comes to life in the spaces of the Castle of Barolo (Castello Falletti), a symbol of the town and the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage wine landscape.

The Wine & Food stage and the AgriLab

The "AgriRock" formula perfectly captures the spirit of Collisioni: alongside music, the festival highlights wine and food as true protagonists of the event. In Barolo, this translates into the Wine & Food stage, hosted in the castle's square and courtyard, featuring free guided tastings, talks, and meetings with producers, sommeliers, chefs, and food and wine journalists. Here, the great wines of the Langhe and typical Piedmontese products are showcased and tasted in a continuous dialogue between the culture of taste and education.

At the heart of this offering is the AgriLab Wine Tasting Tour, a multimedia and interactive space set up in the courtyard of the Castle of Barolo, open to the public year-round: art installations, sensory paths, and tastings that guide visitors through the discovery of the territory's denominations. It is the festival's "home base," deeply connected to the bond between Collisioni and its land of origin.

Barolo and the Langhe, the wine capital

Experiencing Collisioni in Barolo means discovering one of Italy's most famous villages, dominated by its castle and surrounded by the vineyards that produce one of the world's most renowned wines. Between a tasting and a talk, the public can stroll through the town's historic center, visit the WiMu – Wine Museum housed in the castle, and immerse themselves in the wine landscapes of Langa-Roero and Monferrato. The food and wine section of the festival is designed specifically for this: to transform the great music festival into a journey into the culture and flavors of Piedmont.

A festival spread across the territory

Collisioni is a widespread event that weaves together multiple locations in the Langhe: major evening concerts in Alba, literary and cultural meetings, and wine tourism and tasting activities concentrated in Barolo. This profile is dedicated to the Wine & Food dimension of the festival, which makes Barolo, in the province of Cuneo, an essential stop for those who want to experience Collisioni in its version most closely tied to the land and wine.
