Alba Vitae: the wine-solidarity spirit of Christmas

The name is an emblem of an extraordinary initiative. Alba Vitae is the new charity initiative promoted by the Italian Sommellier Association of Veneto. A tireless and renewed delegation led by Marco Aldegheri. This year, the wine chosen to be placed in magnum format for sale will be the enological cult Riserva Brut Imperiale of one of the most prestigious Italian houses in the field of Classic Method sparkling wine: Villa Rinaldi di Soave.

The Reserve is the right product for the goal that AIS Veneto aims to achieve: helping children in difficulty and, in particular, the Francesca Rava Foundation — N.P.H. Italia, which deals with the protection of children's rights.

Alba Vitae is a Magnum produced by Villa Rinaldi, selected among the Family Reserves. The thousandth anniversary is 2005 and it is one of the Rinaldi family's most awarded Reserves. Pure Pinot Noir sparkling according to the unmistakable elegance of the Venetian winery style, 36 months of storage on the lees for a wine left for 8 months to age in barrels. A particularly creamy, enveloping and persuasive bubble. All the expressive power of Pinot Noir, the most authentic and characterful one coming from the vineyards of South Tyrol. Structural richness and aromatic breadth make this wine a pride of Italian oenology in the world.

AIS Veneto's choice for this Christmas is to invite everyone to a good action thinking about children, those most in difficulty, on the margins. The proceeds from this sale will help the Francesca Rava Foundation to strengthen its aid activities and increase the number of children to whom it can bring help, which for the most part means salvation, the return to life, what we all want. A smile, a hope, the dawn of a new life. Alba Vitae in fact.
