Resistance and strength of the “civilization of drinking” were the styles at the center of the opening talk of VinoVip Cortina 2024, which happened on July 14 at the Alexander Girardi Hall. The two-day occasion, arranged by the publication Civiltà del bere, for the fourteenth edition brought the quality and terrific names of Italian red wine to the Dolomites with minutes of conversation, insights and certainly tastings of the very best labels.
The opening talk, with the intentionally intriguing title, Resistenza!, had the accurate goal of clarifying concerns in the sector that issue all those included, from manufacturers to communicators, through the more technical figures, approximately the customers themselves. “Today the strength of the Italian red wine sector is tested, conditioned by political, financial and social forces that do not appear to think about red wine the main component of Western culture that it has actually been for centuries. For this reason the requirement to comprehend what the very best techniques are to counter them” commented Alessandro Torcoli, director of Civiltà del bere.

Red wine is among guy’s most stunning creations, however alcohol is hazardous, this is now developed and it is required to be transparent and state it plainly and merely, motivating mindful intake at the base, without demonizing the whole item.”
Andrea Lonardi, Master of Red Wine and CEO of Marilisa Allegrini, highlighted the requirement to tune the brand name with today and future times. “Today, marketing policy has to do with the mix, made from approach, preparation and time. We require to dive much deeper into the modifications, without restricting ourselves to speaking about environment or customer choices,” Lonardi remarks. “Today, we talk increasingly more about occupation and single-variety, we are experiencing a crisis of hedonistic fulfillment with red wine due to the fact that it is no longer in style, gewurztraminers from the hills and mountains are paving the way to gewurztraminers from the sea, quality red white wines need to be taken in at various temperature levels, quality bubbles are ending up being increasingly more gastronomic. The fact is that what is altering today is the speed of modification and for this factor we require to be alternative and modern and have the nerve to self-evaluate in an intimate method to tune in with today and the future.”

We can not believe of losing this luggage of terrific worth.”
The conference concluded with a focus by Eugenio Pomàrici, complete teacher at the University of Padua and Italian OIV professional, on the strength of red wine districts and the strength of little business. “A district is an enterprise zone identified by little and medium-sized organizations with a tendency for synergic action. Contrary to what we are utilized to believing, this fragmented structure has actually been a component of strength: when confronted with troubles, big company groups frequently pick to move production, however little manufacturers withstand, keeping the vineyard, maybe altering point of view and improving.”
