Verona, 7 April 2025 – The President of Veronafiere, Federico Bricolo, and general manager, Adolfo Rebughini, met a delegation of 30 us wine importers this morning at Veronafiere on the second day of the 57th Vinitaly. The international wine and spirits exhibition is open until 9 April. US buyers are part of even broader American attendance at Vinitaly 2025, with a total of more than 3,000 professional operators turning up during the four days of the trade fair.
This is an important opportunity to listen to reference markets and strengthen dialogue between Veronafiere and US stakeholders, with a view to upcoming international events: in coming weeks, Vinitaly will be involved in a high-profile event promoted by the Italian Embassy in Washington attended by members of the US Congress belonging to the Italian-American Committee and the National Italian American Foundation. This initiative is part of the run-up to the second Vinitaly.USA event scheduled in Chicago 5-6 October 2025.
Today's institutional occasion was also attended by Matteo Zoppas, President of ICE Trade Agency, Molly Matelski, Director Buyer Relations of Fiere Italiane, and Fulvio Calcinardi, Executive Director of the Italian American Chamber of Commerce of the Midwest – Chicago.
