I Vini del Piemonte and Slow Wine together again to present the very best of the Italian and Piedmontese oenology in the United States
From 18th to 25th February 2020 I Vini del Piemonte took part, for the fifth year in a row, to the promotional tour in the United States organized by Slow Wine. This event is the most successful initiative among those organized by Slow Food in the world.
The 2020 tour included 5 stops in 5 different US cities, from west to east: San Francisco (18 February), Seattle (19 February), Denver (21 February), New York (24 February) and Boston (25 February). Each event was addressed exclusively to the trade sector (importers, distributors, journalists, opinion leaders, sommeliers, agents, wine shops, restaurateurs etc.), with the exception of the New York, where a public session has also been organized, reserved to companies already imported.
Alongside the Italian wine producing companies selected by the prestigious Slow Wine guide, the American sector operators and the wine lovers had the opportunity to meet some producers members of the consortium of promotion I Vini del Piemonte, who presented a selection of Piedmontese wines, always extremely appreciated in the States, as wines of “high quality”.
The U.S.A. are the first market in the world for wine consumption and the potential for growth is still significant. Over the last ten years consumption has increased in volume by 28% to 32 million hectoliters and Italy, with an overall market share of 32,4% (over 2.5 million hectolitres), is the leading supplier of wine in this market: a sign that our country enjoys a very high reputation among American consumers (Source: Nomisma Wine Monitor).
