“This remarkable selection of labels  - underlines Luciano Buonfiglio, Coni president -  allows us to toast in the best possible way to the return of the Olympic Games to our country, 20 years after Turin 2006. The chosen wines represent the authentic and diverse expression of made in Italy that we want to emphasize during Milano Cortina 2026, thanks to the “Musa” project. A fundamental added value to give voice, within Casa Italia, to the uniqueness of our tradition through tricolor excellence”.
“In the world of international sporting events, wine acts as a tool to enhance made in Italy in a mosaic of representation which embraces the entire wine landscape, from major groups to niche productions  - explains Lorenzo Tersi, ceo of Lt Wine & Food Advisory, a boutique consultancy specializing in the wine sector and active in strategic and merger & acquisition fields, with extensive experience in the country most prestigious sporting events and internationally (Official Advisory Supplier at “Casa Italia” for the Paris 2024 Olympics, where it selected 30 ambassador wineries for our country; Wine Advisory for the prestigious Ryder Cup Italy 2023 golf event in Rome; alongside the Italian Football Federation in various World Cup editions; and exclusive advisor for Italo Treno in the “Italian Winery for Italo” project)  - the celebratory wine in these occasions becomes a moment of cultural diplomacy, carrying with it the territory where it arises, the history of that label, Italian know-how, in a word, its uniqueness and authenticity”.
The “Musa” project of Casa Italia is a tribute to the inspiring role that Italy, with its beauty, history, and creativity, has exercised for centuries on global imagination and culture. In classical tradition, the Muses preserve memory, nurture knowledge, and transform thought into harmony through the arts.
The selection of wines by Lt Wine & Food Advisory was guided by principles which highlight the main denominations and native grape varieties, representing the entire “Italian wine economy”, from national big players to cooperatives and small producers, showcasing the richness, variety, and progress achieved by Italian wine in recent years. They all share the passion with which they bring their bottles to the world, in a continuous challenge to conquer new markets and consumers. Each label will be an ambassador of our country before an international audience who will thus “taste” the excellence of biodiversity across the regional wine landscape whiich makes Italy unique, together with its cuisine, recognized as Unesco Intangible Cultural Heritage. A gold-medal team.
