We tasted the new labels and vintages that some of the most dynamic and important Italian wineries selected by the Italian Wine Guide 2019 will be presenting at international fairs, from Prowein in Düsseldorf to Vinitaly in Verona. “Anteprima Fiere” is the initiative promoted by Gambero Rosso to bring the public closer to quality drinking in the best wine bars in Italy. An itinerant tasting that each year involves the largest and most historic wine bars in Italy from Rome, Naples, Turin to Bari, Milan and Florence to Venice and Lecce. There are 20 cities involved and 36 wineries proposed in rotation with their 72 wines, including premier labels and successful classics.

The leit motif of the whole tasting is the quality of these promising new vintages that, despite the short aging in the bottle, prove to have interesting promising flavours and aromas. Equally appreciable and recognizable are the freshness of the South Tyrolean whites and the elegance of the Pinot Nero, the power of wines with long aging and the sunny character of the whites from the Islands. Here is the description of the companies, the wine tasting notes and the review of the wine shops involved in Anteprima.
