Milan passes the baton to Rome

I hope I don’t appear to be too self-centered if I state that the presentation of our The Essential Guide to Italian Wine 2023 in Milan was a success. All that’s left to do now is to invite you all to Rome next Sunday for the presentation there. The array of producers should make everyone happy.

Last week’s presentation in Milan saw 225 producers at the two-day event offering almost 650 wines at their tasting tables with over 1,500 people attending. If these numbers are not enough to say it was a success one can be proud of, then tell me what would. Italy’s most prestigious producers were present at the awards ceremony, some of whom are rarely seen in public. I am well aware that one should not pat themselves on the back, but we are very proud of the work done by the whole DoctorWine team which received compliments from both producers and the public and this encouraged us to think that all together we did a good job.

But this is no time to rest on our laurels. On Sunday, October 9, we will have Rome to deal with (Spazio Novecento, Piazza Guglielmo Marconi 26/b - EUR, dalle 14 alle 19). This will in no means be a replay considering the fact that of the 117 producers taking part many were not present in Milan. Different producers with other wines with a slew of extraordinary new tastings possible.

I don’t know if this is the right time to thank all those who have followed us, producers and wine lovers, the press and sector operators, but it is always better to give thanks twice rather than not at all and we are truly grateful to all of you who have had such confidence in us and welcome our publishing initiatives with such enthusiasm.

And what was also great, for us, was that Italians were not the only ones following us. The seminars offered in English in Milan were quickly sold out and the presentation in Stockholm, last Monday, saw a very select public taste our wines with great interest, while the Italian ambassador was very enthusiastic of our initiative. And this not to mention Copenhagen, where the presentation was gratifying as was the previous one in Vienna.

Bottom line: it would appear that DoctorWine is becoming for many, In Italy and abroad, synonymous with great Italian wines. And we could not have hoped for more from our editorial project.
