From the collaboration of Veronafiere and Vinitaly with the prestigious American magazine Wine Spectator, in 2012 OperaWine,Vinitaly: Great Producers selected by Wine Spectator was born. As the name suggests, OperaWine is the exclusive event that offers specialized operators from all over the world the opportunity to learn about the best Italian wines. The ranking is drawn up by the experts of Wine Spectator, a newspaper that is an internationally recognized authority in the wine sector. Every year, the judges submit the selected Italian wines to a careful visual and taste-olfactory examination and assign each one a score based on different criteria. From this scrutiny comes the excellence of Italian producers: wineries from all over the peninsula that, despite the difference in territory, production style and company size, are united by the high quality of the wines produced. OperaWine gives journalists, operators and key personalities for the sector exclusive access to this Finest Italian Wines Selection by Wine Spectator. The real protagonist of the event is the ability to tell the great diversity of Italian wine, both in tradition and in the new frontiers of oenology. However it is declined, this wealth deserves to be communicated and promoted all over the world: OperaWine is in fact also an international event, a showcase that projects the best Italian wines towards export to large foreign markets.

However, the selected Italian wines are not just a commodity. On the contrary, they are true ambassadors of Made in Italy, an interweaving of emotionality and culture that goes beyond the simple bottle. These are products that, on the occasion of this elite tasting, create the precious opportunity to discuss Communication, e-Commerce and Marketing related to a commercial field that, in these fields, still has a long way to go.

Finally, OperaWine is the première event of Vinitaly, the most elegant way to declare open the dances of the most important International Wine and Spirits Exhibition. All these elements make OperaWine one of the most fascinating and most anticipated wine events in the entire Verona and Italian calendar.
