About The Night of the Rosés
Puglia Rosé - The Night of the Rosés, the great pink toast of Manfredonia
In the heart of the summer, the Marina del Gargano Tourist Port in Manfredonia transforms into a capital of rosé wine. Puglia Rosé - The Night of the Rosés is the event conceived by Studio360 to showcase rosé as a contemporary cultural and territorial experience: a long tasting journey that weaves together wine glasses, live music, meetings with producers, and light installations overlooking the sea.
The event attracts enthusiasts, tourists, and industry professionals from all over Puglia and numerous Italian regions to Manfredonia, in the Province of Foggia. Over 60 wineries from 12 regions bring more than 150 rosé labels to the docks, ranging from Apulian productions to the finest examples from the rest of Italy and abroad.
A journey through tasting, wine culture, and conviviality
The format is not just a simple wine fair: it is designed as an oenological stroll along the pier, where every stop is an encounter with a producer. Alongside the tasting counters, there are masterclasses, guided deep-dives, and gourmet pairings with local restaurateurs and Slow Food producers from the Manfredonia area.
