Here we go, as already announced (here), the fourth edition of Todi Wine Show in Umbria region (central Italy) opens tomorrow with a show cooking in a beautiful location: ‘Nido dell’Aquila’, a place that I suggest to visit as soon as possible.

This year, I have the pleasure of collaborating with the organization and, in particular, as coordinator of the 4 awards that will be assigned right tomorrow during the opening dinner and which are the news of this edition; so, I am thrilled to finally reveal them:
