The new appointment of #UMANOITECOM animates Vino Vero Lisboa: the guest-innkeeper of the event will be the Italian Lidia Carbonetti from the wine estate Rocco di Carpeneto.
Located in the hilly Alto Monferrato in the Piedmont region, the estate was born from Lidia and Paolo’s passion and determination: bored by her job in Milan, Lidia decided to radically change her life. Therefore, wine has become her second life: she got back to study enology and viticulture at university and, by the time that the first vintage of their estate was ready, she had completed her degree.
At Rocco di Carpeneto, only native vines are cultivated, following the principles of biodynamics, respecting the environment and its natural cycles. The estate’s name itself is rooted in local history: “Rocch” was the ancient name of the Carpeneto d’Acqui region since 1458 and before. Even the wines’ names bear the traces of local culture: they are all named after dialectal words, as the RAPP, “bunch” in dialect, a 24/30-month aged barbera, spontaneously fermented in stainless steel vats, the RATARAURA, literally “bat”, a Barbera del Monferrato superiore DOCG, mostly processed inside clay pots, or the ANDEIRA, which refers “rhythm” or a “brisk walk”.
These and more wines will be available for tasting during the next appointment of #UMANOITECOM.

Sign this petition so that Venice does not become the world’s biggest museum, with fixed opening and closing times, where people no longer have the right and freedom to live. This trend does not only affect Venice, but all Italian historic centres.
The court of Venice has issued a decree obliging Vino Vero, a natural wine bar with over 1,000 labels, to close early at 11pm. The reason for this is down to a complaint from the tenants on the floor above, according to whom the ‘noise emissions’ coming from the wine bar are intolerable, to the point of compromising their psycho-physical balance.
The judge’s order reads: ‘the anthropic activities connected with the “Vino Vero” restaurant exceed the tolerable threshold of noise emissions (…) even when there are only two people sat at a table and when there are four people on the premises, the noise emissions exceed the threshold of normal tolerability’.
We are faced with a huge paradox: if just two people sitting at a table having a glass of wine is a problem, then the activity of any venue or restaurant operating after 11pm in Venice becomes illegal.
The message which comes across is that Venice after 11pm should close and its inhabitants should stay at home under a curfew, because then even the normal passage of boats and people becomes a disturbance.
