Italian Cuisine is a UNESCO heritage

Italian cuisine has officially been recognised as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, a historic achievement that celebrates not only the richness of its flavours, but also the art of conviviality that makes Italy unique around the world. This recognition highlights traditions, shared gestures and a deep-rooted culture of hospitality that lives on every day at Italian tables and within production realities closely tied to their territories.

Within this cultural heritage, wine plays an essential role. For centuries, it has accompanied traditional dishes, acting as a natural bridge between lands, families and generations. Wine is a symbol of conviviality, an invitation to sharing, and a key element that completes the Italian gastronomic experience.

For Guerrieri Rizzardi, a historic winery with deep roots in the heart of Veneto, this recognition holds a special meaning. Every harvest, every bottle and every glass tells the same story of care, authenticity and a strong connection to the land that UNESCO now celebrates. Italian cuisine and wine are two complementary languages, capable of expressing identity, beauty and traditions that deserve to be preserved and passed on.

The recognition of Italian cuisine as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity is therefore far more than a title. It is an invitation to rediscover the richness of our roots and to value that distinctively Italian way of living conviviality. A cultural heritage that unites the pleasure of the table with that of wine, in a balance that continues to inspire and speak to the world.

A toast to Italy, to its traditions, and to this extraordinary shared legacy.
