Independent winemakers take control. At Piacenza Expo, from November 26 to November 28, more than 850 winemakers from all over Italy will put on display their wines for tasting at Mercato dei Vini dei Vignaioli Indipendenti by FIVI – Federazione Italiana Vignaioli Indipendenti (Italian Federation of Independent Winemakers). Among them, 32 winemakers from Friuli Venezia Giulia will be there representing the region, in one of the three pavillions that the expo facility opened up for the event.
Organizers expect a positive audience's feedback for this 11th edition of the fair, as last year's numbers were mind-boggling, with more than 20,000 attendees. Visitors will be able to know more about the wines and their producers, to taste them and... buy them, of course. Plus, an eatery point with multiple booths will offer home-made delicatessen to better match the wine tastings. The Monday opening was specially designed, in the last two editions, for wine professionals, and it's been so successful so far that it's being confirmed this time too.
Mercato dei Vini 2022's manifest was created by famed graphic designer Guido Scarabattolo, a collaboration that tells a lot about Vignaioli Indipendenti's goals, according to FIVi President Lorenzo Cesconi: «Quality, originality, professionality, and first of all, a deep love for their job, for things to be done in the right way, with passion and artisanal attention. We do this in our vineyards and wine-cellars, with our wines, and so does Scarabattolo in his studio, with his illustrations. The outcome is the same: beautiful, well-done things».
Opening hours:
26 November: 11am-7pm
27 November: 11am-7pm
28 November: 11am-5pm
