“Vinitaly is not only a fundamental ally for companies in this sector but also helps improve the positioning of Italian wine in the main strategic areas. This year sees 1,200 top buyers from 65 countries ready to meet and begin negotiations with exhibitors. This result is up by 20% compared to 2023 and was achieved thanks to an impressive incoming campaign, developed not the least with the support of ICE Trade Agency, which for the first time also involved all the country’s promotion institutions. Business diplomacy to help the sector and companies grow.”
