Posts Tagged ‘Events’Vinitaly was a great experience this year — an overwhelming world of fine wine and great winemakers! Soave had a fun booth, complete with Capulet balcony from Romeo and Juliet and a cast of characters outfitted in Elizabethan costumes. Leonardo Frescobaldi led a memorable Mormoreto tasting in the Frescobaldi pavilion. The Mionetto booth was buzzing. Prosecco is so popular now in the US and Italy is following with keen interest. If you want to taste a lot of great wine and see the world of Italian wine gathered in one location, consider a Vinitaly trip next year. Just bring comfortable shoes and be prepared to do a lot walking — the fair grounds at Veronafiere (site of Vinitaly) are huge! Gino  Related posts: Every year in early spring, the Italian wine world is abuzz with activity. There’s an awakening from the depths of winter as the industry prepares for Veronafieri’s highly anticipated annual blowout, Vinitialy. The event brings together thousands of exhibitors, producers, importers, distributors, wine professionals, and visitors every year to lovely Verona, Italy. This year was no different, and our intrepid leader Gino Colangelo was in the thick of it presenting in-depth research on a Soave Panel, which included very recognizable names from the industry of Italian food and wine. Gino was joined by famed Italian chef, cookbook author and television personality, Lidia Bastianich, as well as Walter Brunello, President of Buonitalia SpA, the Italian governmental organization dedicated to increasing awareness of authentic and indigenous Italian food and wine. The panel titled “United States: Risks and Opportunities for Soave” explored the challenges and rewards which lay ahead for Soave in America as producers of high quality wines seek to elevate the category. Soave, a delicious white wine made principally from the Garganega grape, has undergone tremendous change in the past few years. Happily, for those of us who love great Italian white wine, producers of premium quality Soave Classico DOC are steadily finding their way to more and more US retailers — a great thing for consumers.
