Opera Wine über alles

“Opera Wine is the only partnership of Wine Spectator magazine with a wine fair, Vinitaly, and a wine country, Italy. A Taste of Spain, the event that took place during the latest edition of Bordeaux’s Vinexpo, has been an exception that does not entail a structured plan, as opposed to Opera Wine, which is by now the historical preview of Vinitaly”. This is what Thomas Matthews, Executive Editor of Wine Spectator, told WineNews at Düsseldorf’s Prowein, reassuring the world of Italian wine on the uniqueness of its relationship with the magazine, as embodied by the event that since 2012 brings the best 100 wineries of Italy at Verona’s Palazzo della Gran Guardia.
