Festa dell'Uva e dell'Ormeasco

The Ormeasco, high-altitude wine

In Pornassio, a village in the upper Valle Arroscia in the province of Imperia, the Festa dell'Uva e dell'Ormeasco celebrates the wine symbol of the territory: Ormeasco di Pornassio DOC, a high-altitude red that gives identity to the entire area. The event, organized by the Pro Loco of Pornassio with the support of the Municipality and the National Association of Wine Cities, takes place at the foot of the Castle, in the Villa locality.

Traditional wine and cuisine

For three days, the stands offer typical Ligurian traditional dishes paired with Ormeasco DOC wines from local wineries. Among the specialties featured during the festival are Brandacujun and rabbit Ligurian style, authentic staples of the mountain cuisine of the western Imperia area.

Music, culture, and solidarity

The evenings are marked by DJ sets, dance orchestras, and cultural meetings, with the presence of wine experts and moments dedicated to the territory. Part of the festival's proceeds are traditionally donated to the local public assistance service. A festival that combines wine promotion with the warmth of a village celebration, in the heart of the Ligurian Alps.
