From 2 to 5 April, Verona hosted the 55th edition of the International Wine and Spirits Exhibition.

For Zedcomm, too, it was a major opportunity to meet with customers – more than a dozen of them – and with the trade and non-sector press.  The 2023 edition closed with a total attendance of 93 thousand, of which almost 30 thousand foreigners.

A challenging and meaningful communication experience that allows the agency to strengthen relations with the press present and to intercept new trends in the field, an event based on teamwork, made up of shared agendas, but above all of empathy, collaboration, smiles and pedometers went haywire!

On Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 April at Casòn Hirschprunn & Tòr Löwengang of the Alois Lageder Wine Estate – Magrè Sulla strada del Vino (BZ) – the 24th edition of the exhibition of organic and biodynamic wine excellences: Summa 2023 was staged. Zedcomm took care – as it has been for years now – of the communication and supervised the presence of the Italian press, which has always been fond of this event that – this year – registered more than 2500 visitors from all over the world: many Italians, but also public and operators from German-speaking countries, from the UK and the United States and a few representatives from Asia. All the novelties – and rarities – from a range of one hundred wineries – of international scope – selected for the very high quality of their wines produced in harmony with the environment, were on tasting. The masterclasses, guided tastings and visits to the estate’s wine cellar and vineyards were also very successful, testifying to the growing awareness in the sector of agriculture in line with nature and the circular economy. More than just wine, but also food! Many zero-kilometre producers were able to let visitors taste their products and tell their stories. The 25th edition, scheduled for 13 and 14 April 2024, is already in the pipeline!
