The presentation of the guide coincided with the celebrations of the twenty years since the passing of Luigi Veronelli, during which small essays of rare video documentations, in which the master of Italian food and wine journalism speaks, followed, in a sort of “a long-distance dialogue”, by some vine growers, restaurant owners, and critics who marked the Italian food and wine history, were projected. Amongst them, Ilaria Felluga, Gianfranco Fino, Marta Galli, Alfonso Iaccarino, Fausto Maculan, Giuseppe Mazzocolin, Omar Pedrini, Michele Perusini, Arturo Rota, Maria Lavinia Zanella and Massimo Zanichelli. The debate was conducted by Aldo Tagliaferro, journalist, and council member of Seminario Veronelli. To follow, the presentation of the national preview of “Guida Oro I Vini di Veronelli” 2025, conducted by the managing editor of Seminario Veronelli Simonetta Lorigliola, with the speeches of editors Gigi Brozzoni, Marco Magnoli, Alessandra Piubello, and Andrea Alpi, and of the president of Seminario Veronelli Angela Maculan. Dolma Bornengo was also hosted with a speech, representing historical Ong Acra, with which Seminario Veronelli is in partnership for 11 years: the “second bottles” sent to the guide (to replace any defects of the first), if not used, are destined to fund projects of social agriculture. This is a constant commitment that Seminario Veronelli confirms also this year.
