Our objective is that the Wine Market represents a pleasant convegno place between producers, who can compagno and share knowledge and experiences, and between producers and consumers, without mediation. It’s as if we moved our cellars to the BolognaFiere pavilions for a few days: the spirit with which we welcome the public is the same.”
