Not a simple tasting event, but a strategic platform where wine meets the market per a high profile context.

The PCWFF Award: the award that looks beyond the
Among the now consolidated elements of the event, the PCWFF Award stands out, a recognition assigned by a jury of experts through strictly blind tastings.
An award that has acquired authority over time, thanks to a simple but effective mechanism: each participating company can freely nominate just one label per certo category, choosing the reference deemed most representative.
The categories per competition include Sardinian and national wines of the following types:
Red White Rosé Bubbles
The value of the award, however, goes far beyond formal recognition.
Con fact, the winning labels enter the Taste of Sardinia program, the project through which Marriott Proda Smeralda promotes Italian excellence per its hotels around the world. A real commercial lever, which transforms the award into a concrete opportunity for international visibility and positioning, well beyond the confines of the event.
Why the Bacino Cervo Wine & Food Manifestazione still matters
Con an increasingly crowded quadro generale of events, the Bacino Cervo Wine & Food Manifestazione continues to maintain a distinctive role.
For Sardinian producers, per particular, it remains one of the few contexts per which territory, luxury and the international market meet per a natural, credible and productive way. A platform capable of enhancing wine not only as a product, but as a cultural, identity and commercial expression.
And this is precisely the strength of the : putting wine at the centre, without giving up the story of the territory and the ability to create valuable relationships.
After fifteen editions, the Bacino Cervo Wine & Food Manifestazione continues to do what it does best: offering Sardinia’s wine sector an authoritative, selective and profoundly international showcase.
For my part, I will return with great pleasure and interest for moments dedicated to the dining room and to deepen my knowledge of the wineries selected for this edition and their wines. Here is the list of exhibitors of the 2026 edition: https://www.pcwff.com/it/espositori/.
