Oro Bianco

A white-wine event in the Castello di Costigliole given over to Chardonnay and Moscato d'Asti DOCG — over 100 producers, masterclasses and tastings in the castle rooms and towers, with Champagne as the guest of honour.

Why it's special

The Astigiano is red-wine country, so a weekend built entirely around its whites — Chardonnay and Moscato — is a deliberate case being made, and it's made inside the castle rather than a tent, tastings running right up into one of the towers.

A tip
  • It's inside the Castello di Costigliole; tickets and masterclass places go through orobiancowine.it.
  • Look for the Torre del Gusto, a tasting set up in one of the castle towers.

Barbera is the name everyone drops around Costigliole d'Asti, which is exactly why Oro Bianco is interesting: a whole weekend inside the castle handed to the whites instead. The wines in question are Chardonnay and Moscato d'Asti DOCG, poured by more than a hundred producers, with Champagne invited along as the guest of honour.

It runs through the rooms of the Castello di Costigliole — the same building that houses the ICIF cooking school — with masterclasses, guided tastings, and a sensory tasting the organisers set up in one of the towers, the Torre del Gusto. First edition in 2026, so it's finding its feet, but the setting does a lot of the work.

Tickets and masterclass places go through orobiancowine.it. Dates above.
