Degusto con Gusto

An evening of wines in the square in the heart of Bassa Romagna

Degusto con Gusto is the travelling food and wine review promoted by the Italian Sommelier Association (AIS) Romagna, which each year visits various municipalities in the Ravenna area, bringing the pleasure of guided tastings to the squares. In Solarolo, a small municipality in the province of Ravenna in Emilia-Romagna, the event takes place in the charming Piazza Gonzaga, the historic heart of the town, which for one evening transforms into a large open-air tasting counter.

Wine takes centre stage, selected by AIS sommeliers

The heart of the event is the tasting of the best national and international wine productions, carefully selected by AIS Romagna experts. The sommeliers guide visitors through the wines on offer, discussing grape varieties, territories, and pairings: an opportunity to discover quality wines in an informal and welcoming setting, accessible to both enthusiasts and those taking their first steps into the world of oenology.

Music, appetizers, and the "Magia è donna" exhibition

The evening isn't just about wine glasses: appetizers and music accompany the tastings, with DJ set by V.J. Claude providing the soundtrack for the food and wine stroll. In Solarolo, the event is further enhanced by Magia è donna, the market exhibition dedicated to female artists and creatives from Solarolo, who liven up the square with their work and ingenuity. The result is a celebration that blends good wine, taste, art, and social interaction.

A travelling review from Romagna

Degusto con Gusto is not tied to a single town: in its various editions, the event has stopped in several centres in Romagna, from Russi to Bagnara di Romagna and Cotignola, always under the patronage of the involved municipalities and the quality mark of AIS sommeliers. The Solarolo stop confirms the Bassa Romagna region's commitment to quality food and wine and to events that enhance local squares and communities.
