Canelli hosts a national seminar on the future of viticulture, in a phase marked by the market crisis, rising costs and shrinking margins. At the centre of the discussion are new genomic techniques (NGTs), the role of patents and the possible responses of peasant agriculture and organic farming. The meeting is held on Friday 13 November 2026, from 14:30 to 18:30, in the Sala Cassa di Risparmio, Piazza Gancia 10. Geneticists, agronomists, researchers and representatives of Italian and European agricultural organisations will speak. In the afternoon, the responsibilities for the wine crisis, what NGTs are and who decides the sector's policies will be discussed, with a final debate open to farmers, consortia, wineries, nurseries and administrators. The event is organised by the Associazione Rurale Italiana (ARI) with the patronage of the Città di Canelli.
