Registration for the eighth edition of 5StarWines & Wine Without Walls closes on 1st March 2024. The prestigious wine selection event organized by Veronafiere will be held from 9-11 April, immediately before Vinitaly 2024. The selected producers enjoy a range of benefits, especially those exhibiting at Vinitaly, one of the most important wine fairs in the world. In particular, with a global audience and the expertise of an international panel of judges, selected wines benefit from increased visibility on the world stage.
VERONA, Italy, Feb. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Producers have only a few days left to take part in 5StarWines & Wine Without Walls, the wine selection event organized by Veronafiere and Vinitaly, in cooperation with Assoenologi. The three-day blind tasting identifies the best wines, with those that obtain a score of 90 and above benefiting from a package of events and initiatives designed to promote them on the international stage.
Over three days a jury of international judges tastes the wines, evaluates their characteristics and assigns a score to each and every entrant. The Panel Chair, the principal judge, decrees the final vote assigned by the table of judges after a discussion. The evaluation is therefore the result of a discussion between several international judges from a variety of different backgrounds, among them Masters of Wine, Master Sommeliers, WSET diploma holders, VIA experts and ambassadors, oenologists and journalists. Wines that obtain a score of 90 or higher will proceed to a second round of tasting by the General Chairs, a senior panel of international judges, who will determine the final score.
Robert Joseph, Associate Editor of Meininger's Wine Business International and one of the General Chairs of this edition, explains the importance of the event: "Every year's tasting brings the promise of encounters with terrific examples of classic styles, introductions to less familiar grape varieties and blends, and complete novelties, possibly in their first vintage. Better still is the experience of tasting and assessing these wines in the company of a group of people who are both top experts and great friends."
The eighth edition of the selection will take place from 9-11 April, in the days immediately preceding Vinitaly 2024, one of the most important international wine fairs in the world. The close relationship between 5StarWines & Wine Without Walls and Vinitaly allows wine producers to be given the opportunity to promote their wines during Vinitaly. This year, the wineries exhibiting at Vinitaly will see their selected wines and their scores for free in the Vinitaly Plus platform, the official Vinitaly Catalogue and App. This will enable all exhibiting companies to be geo-located by the most important foreign buyers attending the exhibition, giving them an additional promotional advantage.
During Vinitaly, on April 16th at 16:00, a proclamation ceremony will be held by the General Chairs of 5StarWines & Wine Without Walls 2024, who will conduct a masterclass to pay homage to the 7 "Top Scorer" wines selected for the 5StarWines Guide - the Book 2025. Following, at 17:00, there will be the proclamation ceremony dedicated to the 5StarWines & Wine Without Walls 2024 Trophies, where the producers will present their award-winning wine to the press operators and those present, then staying to taste the award-winning wines.
