Le Notti del Vino in Alanno

Le Notti del Vino in Alanno

Every summer, the village of Alanno, in the province of Pescara, comes alive for Le Notti del Vino, a food and wine festival that brings the best of Abruzzo's viticulture to the historic center. For two evenings, the town's streets and squares turn into a sprawling tasting trail where visitors can stroll with a glass in hand, browse winery stands, enjoy live music, and savor local delicacies.

A stop on the national Città del Vino circuit

The event is part of the major national Le Notti del Vino circuit, promoted by the National Association of Città del Vino, which involves wine-producing villages and towns across Italy between late June and September. Alanno is one of the most vibrant stops in Abruzzo and has frequently hosted the association's regional festival, gathering wine-producing municipalities and regional wineries in a single event.

Wines, wineries, and tastings

The heart of the event is the tasting experience: dozens of farms and local wineries present Abruzzo's finest, from Montepulciano d'Abruzzo to Trebbiano and Cerasuolo. With the official tasting kit—which includes a glass, a holder, and tasting tickets—visitors can move freely between stands to compare different interpretations of local grape varieties. Tastings are paired with local specialties, creating combinations that highlight every nuance of the wines.

Music, folklore, and conviviality

Alongside the wine, the event offers a rich program of live music, folk performances, and social moments that animate the historic center until late at night. Some editions also feature conferences and meetings dedicated to producers, discussing the future of viticulture, climate, the market, and cultivation techniques, reflecting the cultural dimension of the Città del Vino project.

A landmark for the region

Organized by the Municipality of Alanno in collaboration with the National Association of Città del Vino, the festival has become a highly anticipated date on the summer calendar for the Municipality of Alanno and the food and wine scene of Abruzzo. Le Notti del Vino combines tourism promotion for the village, support for local wineries, and the pleasure of an evening outdoors in a festive atmosphere that attracts visitors from across the province of Pescara and beyond.
