“An important edition of the Città del Vino international competition, now in its 22nd edition – highlights the president of Città del Vino, Angelo Radica – which is confirmed for the quality of the winemaking territories and productions and for attracting wine companies from all over the world. I would like to highlight the excellent performances of new participating countries such as Lebanon and Israel and the good participation of Chile and Mexico, also participating for the first time. Successes for Italian wines, from the north, center and south: in the selections of Città del Vino the merit of evaluating the wines not only from a technical point of view (for their objective quality), but above all for their link with the territory, for their ability to excite and to reiterate the value of the relationship between companies and municipalities. Being a City of Wine is an added value for wineries throughout Italy.”
