Wine Spectator and Vinitaly present 100 finest Italian wine producers
We are thrilled to announce the list of the “Finest Italian Wines: 100 Great Producers”. The list represents the excellence and diversity of all regions from the Italian peninsula and will be a showcase when the grand tasting on 24th of March will take place in Verona.
The selection of winemakers for the official opening event to Vinitaly 2012 also marks a special occasion for the American lifestyle magazine Wine Spectator as “we hope the event will serve as a showcase to demonstrate the breadth and quality of the Italian wine industry today,” said Thomas Mathews, Executive Editor, Wine Spectator.
"We are pleased by the enthusiastic response to this inaugural tasting with Vinitaly, from both Italian wineries and the general public. Though we began the process with a goal of including 100 great Italian producers, we recognized from the beginning that many more producers merited inclusion than we would be able to invite. As it turns out, interest has been so great, and the number of wineries declining our invitation so small, that there will be more than 100 wineries attending the event. While logistical constraints prevent us from continuing to expand, we believe our attendees will welcome these "bonus" wines to the tasting“, emphasising that wine aficionados will have a supplementary wine to sample.
Stevie Kim, General Coordinator of Vinitaly International and the new project OperaWine added, “We are looking forward to best promote Italian wines to the international market and bring home the Vinitaly Wine Affair after travelling the globe. From Verona to Moscow onwards to Washington, New York and Hong Kong (VinitalyTour 2011) back to Verona. Here we seek to make people fall in love with Italian wines all over again.”
