In order to give the Piedmontese wine producing companies the opportunity to strengthen or start new business relationships in Finland and Estonia, I Vini del Piemonte is organizing, for the third consecutive years, two legs of the Barolo & Friends Event in the Baltic capitals. Here, in fact, we can find two middle-small markets which are constantly growing and extremely important for the export of quality wine.

The first stop will be on Tuesday October 30^th 2018 in Helsinki, the Finnish capital, at the historical Vanha Ylioppilastalo. On schedule there is a Walk Around Tasting divided into two sessions: the first is addressed to the monopoly representatives and to the sector professionals (importers, dealers, ho.re.ca system, journalists, etc.) carefully profiled and selected on the basis of a real interest towards Piedmontese companies, while the second session will be dedicated to the public of local wine lovers, highly selected through the wine clubs.

During the session open to consumers a competition will offer to the participants the chance to win a stay in the Monferrato.

There will also be a food area, managed by Roiniset Oy, that will offer Piedmontese specialties for tasting.
