Thousands of people in Sorso's historic center, lining the streets and squares, transformed the city into a vast journey dedicated to wine, flavors, music, and entertainment for an entire night. Calici di Stelle Sorso 2026 confirmed its role as the highlight of the Sorso summer, closing an edition marked by extraordinary public participation. A large-scale collective celebration that, despite the particularly high attendance, took place in an atmosphere of absolute tranquility, allowing residents and visitors to fully experience the historic center.
