RADICI DEL SUD: THE NAMES OF THE JOUNALISTS AND IMPORTERS AND ALL THE NEW INITIATIVES OF THE 13TH EDITION
The proposal of the Apulian event has been implemented: BtoB activities joined also by oil producers, a section focusing on natural wines only and the opportunity to buy. A record number of registered wineries
Next Radici del Sud edition is going to be a great and wide one. The week focusing on wine from native grapes and extra virgin olive oil produced in South Italy will be held from 5th to 11th June 2018 in Apulia.
The proposal, which already includes a wine competition, a week of BtoB meetings with International journalists as well as an exhibition open to the public, has been made wider thanks to three new interesting initiatives. The first one, which was introduced last year, consists in extending the BtoB activities to oil producers, too. This year on 9th and 10 the producers of extra virgin olive oil from Apulia, Campania, Basilicata, Calabria and Sicily will be given the opportunity to meet the importers at the Exhibition as wine producers do.
Another new initiative is an area for natural wines only. On the 11th June the many wineries joining the Exhibition which produce natural wines will be given the opportunity to show their products thus being easily identifiable. Not only will visitors taste the wines, but they can also buy wine and oil directly from the tasting stands of the producers joining the Exhibition. And this is another innovation.
“For this thirteenth edition – says Nicola Campanile, the event organizer – we’ve brought a breath of fresh air. The participating wineries and popularity are increasing and this pushes us to improve our proposal year after year. The good choices we have made are confirmed by the number of subscriptions we’ve had up to now. Moreover the number of the wineries registered up to now is more than the triple what we recorded last year in the same period”.
After the more than satisfying experience of last year, a new delegation of 5 buyers from different regions of China also headed back and selected by Alessio Fortunato.
