Representatives from 30 wineries will land in Ireland next week to take part in 2017’s Borsa Vini Italiani. The event, which will take place in Dublin’s Conrad Hotel on Tuesday 17th January, will showcase an impressive line-up of wines. The 30 producers presenting their wines all hail from Southern Italy, including the regions of Calabria, Campania, Puglia and Sicilia. All are seeking representation.

The concept behind Borsa Vini Italiani is that of a Wine Exchange whereby owners and winemakers will present their wines to the Irish trade, who will be able to meet with winery personnel directly.

“We are delighted to be returning to Ireland to present these fabulous wines and producers to the Irish wine buyers and trade,” said Fortunato Celi Zullo, director of the Italian Trade Commission. “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.  We hope to highlight the diversity, quality and value of wines produced in Southern Italy.

“Italy produces many world class wines,” Fortunato Celi Zullo continued, “but the sheer scale and variety of wines can sometimes be daunting. Our event will highlight the diversity of Italian wines and our Masterclass which will focus on wines from southern regions will show the diverse and distinctive character and often exceptional value of wines from these regions.”

As part of the event, John Wilson of the Irish Times will lead a masterclass at 11am on the day, which will highlight the incredible wines from the Southern regions of Italy. Pre-registration is essential for this event.
