“The candidature of the Valpolicella grape drying technique as a Unesco Intangible Heritage is officially launched from Verona, from “Vinitaly 2022”. This is a great opportunity for the development of the Denomination and the territory, a driving force for local economies and for the enhancement of the traditional, unmistakable and inimitable processing technique.

In all these years a winemaking technique has never been recognized, so it is a challenge, but this dossier represents what UNESCO requires”. This is how Luca Zaia, President of the Veneto Region, spoke at the presentation of the Unesco candidacy of “The technique of drying the grapes of Valpolicella”, which officially starts today at “Vinitaly 2022” in Verona.
