“The permanent uncertainties on the national and foreign scenario and the protracted bans have led us to definitively reschedule the 54th edition of the exhibition in 2022”. Thus Maurizio Danese, president of Veronafiere, makes an appointment in April (from 10 to 13) of next year. A decision shared with all the protagonists of Vigneto Italia who at this point consider as very “important the support that the Italian government and Europe will be able to put in place in favor of the entire agri-food sector which, after more than a year of pandemic, is accusing the weight of the crisis like the other sectors of the national economy ”.
Support that should make the program implemented by Vinitali easier “to continue to support the competitiveness of made in Italy wine both on the domestic market and in countries already projected to recovery, primarily the USA, China and Russia”, explained Danese. The choice to confirm OperaWine goes in this direction with the presence of Wine Spectator and the top companies in the sector identified by the American magazine for the 10th anniversary of the initiative which will remain scheduled for next June 19th and 20th in Verona. “The event, all declined to restart the sector, thanks to the participation of the press and national and international operators – comments the CEO of VeronaFiere, Giovanni Mantovani – will also act as collector and driving force for all the wine companies that want to participate in a calendar b2b that Veronafiere is already preparing ».
International programming has also been confirmed, starting from Russia with stops in Moscow and St. Petersburg scheduled from 23 to 25 March. From 3 to 6 April it will be the turn of Vinitaly Chengdu and then in June of Wine to Asia (Shenzhen, 8-10 June). And it will be China again to open Vinitaly’s autumn foreign calendar with the road show (13-17 September) before moving to Brazil for Wine South America (22-24 September). and «Veronafiere makes its know-how available to carry out further promotional events in other target markets for the sector».
