A unique tasting to get in touch with the best Italian wines

Gambero Rosso, the leading Italian wine & food media company, is ready to come back to New York with a unique tasting of premium Italian wines awarded in Vini d’Italia 2020 guidebook. The event is scheduled on February 28 at the Metropolitan Pavilion. The walk-around tasting will start at 2 pm till 6 pm, including more than 200 top Italian wineries and more than 400 wines to savor.

The program will feature 2 masterclasses guided by Marco Sabellico, Senior Editor of Vini d’Italia and Lorenzo Ruggeri, International Editor of Gambero Rosso. Emilia Romagna wines will be on the spotlight in the first seminar, at 11am, from the most vibrant Lambrusco di Sorbara wines to the deepest and structured sangiovese labels. The second masterclass, scheduled at 1:15pm will focus on the Special Awarded wines in Vini d’Italia 2020 guide, 11 wines including the White, Red, Rosé and Spakle of the Year.

The Awarding Ceremony of the Top Italian Restaurants in New York is scheduled at 4pm. New York displays the highest number of awarded restaurants in the 2020 edition of the guide which has been launched in 2017. The scenario is extremely competitive and dynamic, thanks to super extensive Italian wine lists next to fine dining cuisine, authentic trattorias, and proper Neapolitan-style pizzerias.

After New York, the tour hit the West Coast with events in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Napa Valley.

Italy produced 44 million hectoliters of wine in 2019, about 20 million hectoliters wil be sold abroad. Italian wine export reached the record amount of 6.36 billion euros, up 3,5% in 2019 and has increased by 70% over the last decade. Sales of Italian wine in the US grew overall by +1.9% in value, reaching the record of 736 millions of euros in the first six month of 2019, according to the data of Ismea. The sparkling sector leads the way with a brilliant performance.

This year, the record number of 457 Tre Bicchieri have emerged: Tuscany leads the way with 89 awards.

About Top Italian RestaurantsThe quality of the “cucina italiana” abroad has reached a new level. Gambero Rosso has released the third edition of the digital guide to Italian restaurants around the world. For rating places Gambero Rosso calls its well-known system: from one to three, forks for fine dining restaurants, shrimps for bistrot and trattorias, pizza slices for pizzerias and bottles for wine bars and enoteca.

Authentic character, product traceability, purity of flavors (cucina italiana can’t exist without a proper extra-virgin olive oil), service and the quality of the wine list were important criteria. From the 100,000 estimated eating places that serve up our traditions in wine and food, Gambero Rosso selected 600 for now – as the guide will expand month by month.
