Borsa Vini tasting

The special one-day event runs from 12 noon until 6.00 pm on the 17th January during which trade and press can taste a diverse range of Italian wines via 30 different producers from four regions of Italy – Calabria, Campania, Puglia and Sicillia - who’ll show and discuss their wines.

 

The enormous success of Italian wines styles such as Pinot Grigio and Prosecco has helped create greater awareness in the Irish consumer for a whole range of Italian wine styles.

Sales increased from 438,000 cases (5.5% of the Irish wine market) in 2008 to 813,679 (9.5%) in 2015.

Borsa Vini, organised by the Italian Trade Commission, offers the chance to discover wines from producers new to Ireland and seeking representation.

“Our focus will be to connect key businesses from Italy and Ireland in a forum that is specifically aimed at importers, independents and restaurant trade,” explained Fortunato Celi Zullo, Director of the Italian Trade Commission.

Special features include an 11am Masterclass (pre-registration required) hosted by Irish Times wine writer, author and editor of Ireland’s best-selling wine book John Wilson who’ll talk through tasting a range of wines from the regions showcased on the day. Visitors can hear the latest news and learn first-hand about developments in these regions.
