Merano Wine Festival 2022

The 31st edition of the Merano Wine Festival entitled “Breath and Cry of the Earth” took place from 4 to 8 November. A packed program of masterclasses and walk around tastings in which the press and trade operators were able to taste the award-winning wines of WineHunter Helmuth Köcher, who for decades has been staging one of the world’s best and most popular food and wine events, in the heart fo the Alps. Merano is the ideal location for a festival with an international flavor and the headquarters of the Kurhaus, an authentic Art Nouveau symbol of the Tyrolean city, is the treasure chest where, on an annual basis, rigorously selected producers present their best labels. The last edition saw the participation of 1,500 visitors per day and many awards of excellence that returned a complete picture of the Italian food and wine scene. More than 450 wineries, 200 artisans of taste and 15 chefs took part in the event.

Among the names of the national wine panorama present, as every year, were also many wineries followed by our Agency which have allowed us to tell journalists many news from all over Italy: Alois Lageder (Alto Adige), Castello di Fonterutoli (Chianti Classico), Domenico Clerico (Piedmont), Fonzone (Campania), Lungarotti (Umbria), Monteverro (Tuscany), Venturini Baldini (Emilia Romagna) and the oenologist Luca D’Attoma with his numerous collaborations. A full immersion between labels, territories, and people while waiting for the next edition of the Festival.

Press tour Venturini Baldini, discovering Villa Manodori

The Tenuta di Quattro Castella, in the heart of Reggio Emilia province, presented as an absolute preview the restored Villa Manodori.

Zedcomm has organized an exclusive incoming press for the exclusive Villa Manodori, which has just been restored. A mini-press Journey to know the details of the restoration, the philosophy of the winery, to experience the hospitality first-hand and meet the owner Julia Prestia – who has been at the helm of the winery since 2015, with a holistic project to enhance the territory, its wines and its typical products. A select group of journalists had the opportunity to stay for one night in one of the six suites of the Villa, a mix of ancient and modern, clean and minimalist lines and personal touches. The whole renovation project was curated by Julia with the support of DCEF Studio, in the figure of arch. Elisabetta Fulcheri. The renovation of the historical parts was followed by the doctor. Isabella Cervetti. Dinner was served in the inside restaurant Taglierè in Limonaia, with the dishes of Chef Mario Comitale, a contemporary reinterpretation of the local culinary tradition.

Valentine’s Day, a toast for lovers’ day

The countdown to the day we celebrate love has started! But so has the stressful search for that “special” gift to declare our love in a way that won’t go unnoticed. Jewelry, flowers, perfume and chocolate are always at the top of the hypothetical “best gift” list, especially for the classic-minded purchaser. But there’s nothing better than a romantic atmosphere and a candle-lit dinner to win someone’s heart! And a great glass of wine! These are our suggestions for all tastes: white, red and rosé:

So now let’s raise a glass and make a toast to love on a special day, although it’s valid every day of the year! Cheers!
