“This catalog is an extraordinary occasion to know the variety of Italian wine. A wide and almost provocative selection in its desire to exalt the vitality and imagination of Italian and international oenology. Finally, the best of champagne, rum, grappa and whisky, which will bring great collectors closer to authentic rarities of the variegated world of spirits”, commented Gelasio Gaetani d’Aragon, head of the Wine & Spirits Department of Wannenes.
“Flipping through the catalog of the next auction promoted by Wannenes, it seems to retrace the history of the most important Italian wine tradition, which Gambero Rosso, in over 30 years of editions of Vini d’Italia, has always told in a timely manner. There are many wines awarded with our Tre Bicchieri (Three Glasses) - added Marco Sabellico, editor of the Gambero Rosso’s Vini d’Italia guide - a true certificate of quality that represents a certainty also for the many international buyers who participate in sales of this kind. The partnership with Wannenes, in this historical moment particularly complex for the world of wine, is a further action on our part towards the promotion and enhancement of one of our most prestigious assets”.
