5StarWines – the Book, the first guidebook promoted by an international fair, was created with the aim of offering selected companies an effective promotional and marketing tool. The Book recognizes and rewards the quality of wines and companies through the objective judgment of an international panel of experts. Among these, Masters of Wine, Master Sommeliers, sommeliers of starred restaurants, journalists, oenologists, Italian Wine Experts and Ambassadors of the Vinitaly International Academy, with varied origins, specializations and backgrounds.

The Book, published in English, is disseminated in Italy and abroad, on the occasion of the main trade fairs, tastings and masterclasses geared towards professionals in the sector, guaranteeing selected companies access to key contacts and decision-makers: 10,000+ top buyers from the Vinitaly community, 200+ selected journalists, 300+ Wine Ambassadors of Vinitaly International Academy, 100+ international judges, Wine Experts and key influencers across the world.

La Guida rappresenta dunque un importante strumento per i professionisti e i buyer di tutto il mondo che sono alla costante ricerca di novità e conferme nel panorama della produzione vitivinicola, da suggerire ai propri clienti.
