Rome Hortus Vini: more than just tasting counters.

For once, I won’t focus on the “wine component” of an event, but rather on what, in my opinion, deserves to be highlighted in this edition of Hortus Vini at the Botanical Garden of Rome.

If on one hand I walked in thinking, “No, plastic glasses really not…”, I must say that the number of participants I saw inside the Botanical Garden fully justifies this choice.

A different kind of event. Art — including the 30‑minute mini‑show by my friend Michele La Ginestra — a jazz band, and a “bubble artist”, Idà, who truly deserves to be called that based on what he showed us. All of this in a setting made of centuries‑old trees and the scents of medicinal herbs enveloping you in every corner of the Garden.

The wine is there, but in this case, wine plays the role of a connector for an event made of many elements, not least Luca Maroni’s ability to engage — with always well‑measured words — an audience, not a technical audience, that was large in number and very willing to be guided along this journey.

An evening different from the usual, designed for a different audience than the one we normally find at Vinitaly or similar events. A formula that works, also because I had never seen so many people with a glass in one hand and a paper cone of good things in the other…

Again today, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., at the Botanical Garden of Rome.
