This year, AIS Padova takes up the baton from the Treviso delegation and chooses to support, through the sale of 500 magnums , the My Ability project of the Polis Group , which within the Fuori di Campo Social Farm helps people with different types of difficulties to train all those relational skills that are functional for entering (or re-entering) the world of work.
The wine chosen for this edition of Alba Vitæ is Borgo delle Casette 2020 from the Baone (Padua) company Il Filò delle Vigne : a blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and carmenère of great harmony, a Venetian excellence that this year transforms into a concrete symbol of social commitment.
“We are proud to continue this initiative that embodies the deepest values of the Italian Sommelier Association: wine culture as a means to promote solidarity and help local communities – says Gianpaolo Breda , President of AIS Veneto –. Alba Vitæ demonstrates how passion for the world of wine can become a tool for change, supporting virtuous realities such as the Polis Group and contributing to projects of great human and social value”.
“We started the Fuori Di Campo social farm so that it would be a place where our beneficiaries could test themselves and literally ‘get their hands dirty’ – continues Roberto Baldo , one of the founders of the group and head of the Fuori di Campo project –. Work, in all its forms, has always been the main tool for social inclusion for Gruppo Polis, especially when it combines professional aspects with the relationship of the person with nature, the territory, and their roots. We are very grateful to AIS Veneto for this precious opportunity”.
Gruppo Polis is the Paduan reality composed of four cooperatives that since 1985 has been working to give concrete answers to people in difficulty. It offers specific and highly professional services in the educational, rehabilitative, residential and employment fields, promoting the employment of disadvantaged people and fostering a culture based on hospitality, inclusion and solidarity.
“I am happy to invite everyone to join Alba Vitæ , a charity initiative that connects our territory and quality wine with a very significant social inclusion project – says Andrea Micalizzi , Deputy Mayor of Padua –. I thank AIS Veneto for having created this opportunity, to which I wish the best possible success”.
The magnums of Borgo delle Casette 2020, offered at the symbolic price of 60 euros, will be available starting from Tuesday 15 October on the official website of AIS Veneto at www.solidale.aisveneto.it/solidale. They will also be available for purchase at the AIS delegations, in the AIS Veneto store and in the Comunian Vini store.
