The village of Rosciate celebrates Italy's smallest and most precious passito wine
The Festival of Moscato di Scanzo and Scanzese Flavors celebrates Moscato di Scanzo DOCG in Scanzorosciate, in the province of Bergamo. This red passito wine is produced in a tiny area and is considered one of Italy's most prized and rare wines. The event takes place in the charming village of Rosciate, which for a few days becomes the culinary capital of the Bergamo region.
The heart of the festival lies in the tastings and workshops dedicated to Moscato di Scanzo, allowing visitors to sample different vintages of the passito and discover its perfect pairings: from Orobic cheeses to local cured meats, and even chocolate. Alongside Moscato, the village offers a selection of authentic local flavors: wines, craft beers, spirits, extra virgin olive oil, honey, cheeses, jams, and typical dishes.
The event is not just for connoisseurs; the program also includes activities for families, featuring bouncy castles, creative workshops, traditional games, puppet shows, and pony rides. Music and entertainment accompany the evenings, making the festival an occasion for people of all ages to gather, immersed in the village's atmosphere.
The festival is just the beginning of the September of Moscato di Scanzo: on the following weekends, open cellars allow visitors to extend the experience by visiting local producers and tasting the passito right at its source. For Scanzorosciate and the entire province of Bergamo, the event is a showcase of excellence, highlighting a unique enological heritage within Italy.
