Wine Concert – Festival Pergolesi Spontini alla Cantina Vignamato

A concert among the vineyards of Vallesina

The Wine Concert at Cantina Vignamato is one of the most evocative stops on the Pergolesi Spontini Festival, the summer event organised by the Fondazione Pergolesi Spontini in Jesi and the villages of Vallesina. The event takes place in San Paolo di Jesi, a small municipality in the Province of Ancona, in the heart of the production area for Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi.

The idea behind the Wine Concerts is simple and brilliant: to bring great chamber music out of the concert halls and into the region's finest wineries. Here, the art of sound meets the culture of wine in an experiential format that has won over the festival's audience.

The format: tour, tasting, and sunset concert

The evening follows a well-established path. It begins with a guided tour of the winery, to discover the company's history and the work behind each bottle. This is followed by a tasting of local wines, with Verdicchio as the star. Finally, as the light begins to fade over the hills, the sunset concert begins, in an intimate and secluded atmosphere among the vines.

Vignamato is a winery that has made viticulture a life choice rather than a mere profession, and this is evident in the welcome and the care taken in their offerings. The winery is located along the Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi wine route, a landscape of orderly hills that characterises the hinterland of Ancona.

Part of a large, widespread festival

The Wine Concert in San Paolo di Jesi is one of four stops in the series dedicated to wineries, included in the broader programme of the Pergolesi Spontini Festival. The festival spans various genres and styles—from Baroque to classical, from jazz to pop, including theatre and dance—and each year features numerous prominent national and international guests.

Why it's worth attending

• Discovering a winery producing Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi.
• Tasting local wines before the performance.
