“2021 has unfortunately been a year of forced break and our producers are looking forward to being able to return to meet their clients in person. We have taken all the necessary measures to guarantee exhibitors and users a safe, pleasant and more importantly, unforgettable experience”.
With the opening to wine lovers, the Consortium continues its promotional strategy aimed at establishing a direct line with final consumers, who for the first time ever will be able to taste the over 1500 labels presented, thanks to the partnership with AIS Piemonte.
“The decision to bring Grandi Langhe to Turin, a symbolic city of Piedmont and already the Capital of Italy, demonstrates the importance assumed by the event”, adds Francesco Monchiero, President of the Roero Protection Consortium.
“It will be an opportunity to meet the Italian and international trade professionals, who play a key role in the identity of our wine. In addition, thanks to the participation of 50 buyers from abroad, new development opportunities will be created in consolidated or emerging countries, which in the last year and a half our companies have not been able to visit. Our appellations are among the most famous expressions of Italian oenology: strengthening the relationship with foreign countries means promoting the image of the entire nation”.
