Auf der Düsseldorfer Messe finden Meisterkurse und Walk Around Tastings statt, um die Exzellenz umbrischer Weine zu entdecken. Wie im letzten Jahr ist Promocamera – Handelskammer Umbrien – neben den Mitgliedsunternehmen von Umbria Top ein besonderer Aussteller.

Umbria Top steht bei der ProWein 2025 , die vom 16. bis 18. März in Düsseldorf stattfindet, wieder im Vordergrund, und zwar mit zwei Schlüsselveranstaltungen, die in Zusammenarbeit mit ICE – einer Agentur für die Werbung im Ausland und die Internationalisierung italienischer Unternehmen – organisiert werden. Mit der Genossenschaft umbrischer Weingüter werden sechs hervorragende Unternehmen anwesend sein: Chiorri, Berioli, Fattoria Le Poggette, Moretti Omero, Blasi Cantina und Tudernum , die bereit sind, das Gebiet und die Qualität der regionalen Weinproduktion zu vertreten. „ Die Teilnahme an der ProWein ist für uns immer eine Chance, internationale Sichtbarkeit zu erlangen“, betont der Präsident von Umbria Top Massimo Sepiacci , „ insbesondere für Unternehmen, die historisch gesehen besondere Vertriebskanäle in Deutschland hatten.“ Umbrien verfügt über ein außergewöhnliches Weinerbe, das es verdient, erzählt und gefördert zu werden. Mit der Meisterklasse und dem Walk Around Tasting möchten wir Fachleuten der Branche ein einzigartiges und authentisches Erlebnis bieten, um unser Land und unsere Weine zu entdecken .“ Am Sonntag, den 16. März, findet um 12 Uhr im ICE-Bereich in Pavillon 15, Stand F68, die Meisterklasse mit dem Titel „ Umbrien – Das verborgene Juwel “ statt.

Unmittelbar im Anschluss an die Meisterklasse bietet Umbria Top von 13:00 bis 14:00 Uhr ein exklusives Walk Around Tasting unter der Leitung von Georgia Panagopoulou an, die in der Weinwelt als wine.gini bekannt ist. Die Tour findet am Stand von Umbria Top statt und ist ein intensives Erlebnis für eine ausgewählte Gruppe von 15 Teilnehmern, die die Möglichkeit haben, zwei repräsentative Rebsorten der historischen regionalen Produktion zu verkosten: Grechetto und Sagrantino mit den Bezeichnungen Umbria IGT und Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG. Dies steht im Einklang mit dem Thema „Wurzeln“ für 2025, das die Historizität der umbrischen Weinbautradition in Verbindung mit der Modernität der Interpretationen von Stilen und Rebsorten hervorhebt.

Wie im letzten Jahr wird es neben den Mitgliedsunternehmen von Umbria Top, Promocamera – Handelskammer Umbrien , einen besonderen Aussteller geben: Es werden die Gewinner des regionalen Weinwettbewerbs 2025 „L‘Umbria del Vino“ vorgestellt. Die Repräsentativität der auf der ProWein vertretenen umbrischen Weine wird daher durch eine Präsentation der Gewinnermarken erweitert, darunter Weiß-, Rotweine, Roséweine, Qualitätsschaumweine und Dessertweine. Die Anwesenheit von Promocamera eröffnet in diesem Jahr auch ein Kooperationsprogramm, das den Sektor mit Werbeaktivitäten für Qualitätsweine unterstützt.

Umbria Top bestätigt damit sein Engagement für die internationale Förderung hervorragender umbrischer Weine: nächster Termin: Vinitaly 2025.

Val d’Oca ​Val d’Oca, a brand synonymous with excellence in the world of Prosecco, is the toponym of a hill cultivated with Glera. A few houses interspersed with a road that zigzags up along a tree grove make up an evocative landscape among the Treviso Prealps, in the hilly area between Valdobbiadene and Conegliano, protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2019. The specialist brand of Cantina Produttori di Valdobbiadene, a company founded in 2008 at the time 100% owned and subject to the direction and coordination of Cantina Produttori di Valdobbiadene, takes its name from this location, which had the task of marketing and promoting the cooperative’s products. Since the early 1990s, Val d’Oca has been the indication of the brand of wines intended exclusively for the HoReCa channel. In June 2023, 98% of Val D’Oca Srl was sold to Valdobbiadene Impresa SC, a cooperative company without prevailing mutuality and established by the members of Cantina Produttori di Valdobbiadene as well as the Winery itself.

The first major confirmation came at the 36th edition of Mundus Vini , the International Wine Grand Prix, which brings together producers, winemakers, importers and consumers, offering an ideal platform for comparing and evaluating wines, as well as a purchasing orientation tool for the general public. In the spring session, called “Spring Tasting”, Mionetto obtained nine medals , including five silver and four gold, among which the gold awarded to the Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Rive di S. Stefano Brut Luxury Collection and the Prosecco Rosé DOC Extra Dry Luxury Collection stand out. Making the result even more prestigious was the title of Best of Show Prosecco Rosé , an award reserved for the best Prosecco Rosé in the competition, awarded to the Prosecco Rosé DOC Extra Dry 2023 “Luxury Collection” for the highest score in its category.

The Vinalies Internationales 2025 , a competition known for the rigour of its evaluations and attention to the technical quality of the competing wines, instead awarded Mionetto five gold medals, four of which were awarded to the Luxury Collection: to the Valdobbiadene Superiore di Cartizze DOCG Dry , to the Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Brut , to the Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Rive di S. Stefano Brut and to the Prosecco Rosé DOC Extra Dry . Gold also went to the Prestige Collection which triumphed with the Prosecco DOC Treviso Brut .

At the Foodex Japan 2025 fair in Tokyo, a seminar to explore the native ungrafted vine rediscovered and promoted by the Veronese winery.

Roeno , a winery from Brentino Belluno (Verona), debuts in Japan with enantio : on Thursday 13 March in Tokyo, during the Foodex Japan 2025 trade fair, the endemic, native and ungrafted Terradeiforti wine variety was the protagonist of a seminar that explored the qualities and distinctive elements of the vine. An in-depth study that underlined the historical importance of enantio, its connection with the territory and its potential in the international wine scene.

The interpretations of the Veronese reality – Enantio Red Point 2021 and Enantio Riserva 1865 Prefillossera 2019 – then took on the role of protagonists in a technical tasting aimed at industry operators in an authoritative and international context.

“Being able to tell Foodex Japan about the historical, oenological and cultural value of enantio makes us proud – says Martina Centa , brand manager and third generation of Roeno –. We want to be the witnesses of an incredible variety that in the 19th century was able to resist the attack of phylloxera. We set ourselves the goal of making an ancient, but at the same time contemporary and authentic vine known in Italy and abroad, which tells the story of our territory and the bond we have with it”.

Roeno began its rediscovery project twenty years ago, with the aim of preserving a vine that, thanks to the presence of sandy and siliceous soil, was able to survive a virulent species such as phylloxera. Today in Terradeiforti the company protects the centuries-old specimens of enantio and revives a variety at risk of extinction through new trajectories in the viticultural and oenological fields. The commitment in the vineyard translates into a profound wine, with character, that tells an ancient story and, at the same time, proves to be extremely modern.

Foodex Japan is the most important and long-running food & beverage fair in Japan, which confirms year after year the key role of Tokyo in the world of wine. The event, which this year reached its 50th edition, wanted to dedicate a special section to the wine sector, Foodex Wine . The event was a strategic meeting point that connected companies from all over the world and international buyers.
