The fourth edition of GustaGuardia is planned for Sunday 27 September in Guardia Sanframondi. Promoted by Casa di Bacco with the patronage of the Municipality of Guardia Sanframondi, the evening brings together local food and craft products, a public conference and entertainment.

The programme is scheduled from 18:00 in Piazza Castello, according to the announcements for the event.

The conference: vineyards between climate and market

The conference is titled "Viticoltura tra clima e mercato. Carbon Farming, redditività e futuro del vigneto sannita".

Participants named in the announcement include Mayor Raffaele Di Lonardo, Deputy Mayor Fiorenza Ceniccola, Pasquale Carlo and Luciano Pignataro.

The sources describe the planned programme, not the conference's eventual conclusions or attendance. No detailed agenda, speaker interventions, vineyard case studies or financial projections for Sannio producers were located in the retrieved sources.

What carbon farming means for vineyards

For readers following the conference theme, vineyard carbon-farming research provides practical context beyond the event announcement.

Carbon farming in vineyards requires a baseline assessment of soil organic carbon, implementation of suitable practices, monitoring, and certification before credits can be issued and sold. The proposed sequence is to establish the baseline, adopt suitable practices, monitor actual sequestration, and certify and issue credits.

That framework may support vineyard climate resilience and diversify farm income, but returns depend on the value of agricultural carbon credits. The sources do not establish whether specific carbon-farming measures will be adopted by local vineyards.

Premio Bacco to Luciano Pignataro

Luciano Pignataro is scheduled to receive the Premio Bacco for his contribution to wine and food culture.

The announcement presents GustaGuardia as an event combining food, conferences and entertainment, including a meeting about the future of the Sannio vineyard and the presentation of the award.

What to expect on the evening

For visitors, the useful points from the announcements are straightforward: an evening programme in Piazza Castello, local food and craft products alongside discussion, and entertainment.

The central discussion point is the future of the Sannio vineyard, framed through climate pressure, market conditions, carbon farming and profitability.
