On 23 May, 2009 Piedmont’s grand Albergo dell’Agenzia, home of Slow Food’s Wine Bank, hosted the 7th annual wine & art auction ”Sorsi di Pace” to benefit the charity Emergency. Each of the 24 magnums of Barolo, Gattinara, Ghemme, and IGT wines were adorned with work from a different contemporary artist. The auction raised 16,000 euro, all of which goes to assist those in need in Sudan and other African countries.
