Albenga celebrates its connection with the territory, tradition and winemaking excellence: on Sunday 10 August, in the evocative setting of Piazza De André, “A Glass Under the Stars”, an event that this year joins theEMYS AWARD 2025, hosted by Renata Cantamessa.
This year's edition will be entirely dedicated to the winemakers of Albenga and the surrounding area: true protagonists of a virtuous journey that has led our region's wines to establish themselves well beyond the local borders. For this reason, the prestigious EMYS Award has been awarded to the winemakers of the surrounding area and "Vite in Riviera", a business network that includes twenty companies from the provinces of Savona and Imperia, which, thanks to events such as Le Prime (hosted in Albenga for two years) (Quiliano) and Granaccia & Rossi di Liguria, carries out an extraordinary work of promoting and enhancing the excellence of Western Liguria.
"We have chosen to reward local winemakers - Declares Mayor Riccardo Tomatis Because they are making an extraordinary contribution to the development of our region. Thanks to the excellence of their products and their ability to promote them with passion and vision, Albenga wines are gaining recognition throughout Italy and beyond.
Albenga is a City of Wine, and its food and wine heritage is now a key driver for tourism development. We want to continue on this path, supporting those who believe and invest in the quality and identity of our land.
Adds Tourism Councillor Camilla Vio"Making the evening even more special will be the extraordinary performance by Roberta Monterosso, whose voice will evoke profound emotions in everyone in attendance. We are proud to welcome her to our stage and invite residents and visitors to not miss this evening, which will conclude with the traditional San Lorenzo fireworks display.
The EMYS AWARD is an annual recognition given to excellence in the Albenga area, with a particular focus on tourism. A symbol of quality, Slow Tourism, and local roots, the Emys best represents the identity, passion, and vision of our winemakers.
