After the summer success of the event “Un Brindisi a Te(i)” and the exhibition “Valtellina. Il senso del vino”, a new appointment intertwining wine, art, and alpine identity returns to Palazzo Besta. The event on December 7, 2025, titled “Un Brindisi a Te(i). Olympic Winter Edition”, is born in continuity with the exhibition “Valtellina. Il senso del vino”, inaugurated in the ancient cellars of the Palazzo and curated by journalist and wine educator Sara Missaglia and director Silvia Biagi, in an immersive journey that tells the story of Valtellina through the senses, history, and cultural heritage of the territory.

The event is promoted by the Comune di Teglio in collaboration with Infopoint Teglio and the Direzione Regionale Musei nazionali Lombardia, the institute of the Ministry of Culture to which the Palazzo Besta museum belongs.

The initiative is inspired by winter values, the Olympic spirit, and the tradition of the territory, proposing a cultural and convivial format articulated in three moments.

The appointment will open with a presentation dedicated to the theme “The wine of Valtellina, the senses and the territory”, during which Sara Missaglia will guide the audience in a narrative related to alpine viticulture, wine culture, and its tasting from a sensory perspective.
