Here we are, the 10th edition of Only Wine, the national exhibition of Italian small and young wine producers, is coming soon: see you from the 22nd to the 23rd of April in Città di Castello (PG), Umbria region – central Italy at Palazzo Vitelli in Sant’Egidio. Monday 24 April is only open to professionals and closed to the public.

The 100 selected producers are ready to welcome us with their territorial and rare wines and, as usual, a rich programme of tastings and meetings is now on-line. I am proud to be part of the organization with a team of colleagues led by the creator Andrea Castellani.

Personally, I look forward to host you for:

• a true blind tasting on Saturday 22nd at 5.30 pm: we all will be blindfolded and guided by Luca Boccoli and Ilaria Giardini for a new approach to tasting. For info and tickets: Degustazione al buio – Only Wine Festival
• the talk about Women in the wine sector on Sunday 23 at 4:00 pm with the past president of the Italian Women&Wine Association, the biggest in the world. A toast with the local delegation and the wines of Umbria female producers will follow at their booth. Free upon reservation at: prenotazionionlywine@gmail.com
• among the exquisitely territorial productions of Only Wine, between Saturday and Sunday let’s discover together the wines of the artisanal producerd of Northern Calabria, Southern Italy (named VAC) at their own booth

However, there are numerous appointments with the most diverse cuts and I invite you to discover them all. Here is the website for info on entrances and the programme: Only Wine Festival – Città di Castello

See you next week in Umbria!
