BuyWine - Tuscan excellences

The BuyWine, an event connected to the Previews of Tuscany (an event which took place on 14 and 19 February during which the Protection Consortiums presented the new vintages, guiding journalists and operators to discover their territories) is confirmed as the international event most important for the Tuscan wine sector, a unique event of its kind where importers from all over the world interested in Tuscan wines gather.

A fabulous location.. a great success!
The event took place within the wonderful setting of the “Fortezza da Basso” from 10 to 11 April.
241 wineries met here, of which 177 were certified organic, with over 1,500 labels available for tasting and 3,700 tastings scheduled.

Over the two days of the event, 200 buyers arrived from 41 countries, including China, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, India, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Chile, the United United States, Canada, Scandinavia.

“Despite a tiring year in terms of quantity, the quality of Tuscan wine is undoubted and we can compete with the largest producers in Europe and the world” underlined the vice-president of the Tuscany Region and councilor for Agriculture, Stefania Saccardi, who cut the ribbon with the president of the Florence Chamber of Commerce, Leonardo Bassilichi, the general secretary of the Florence Chamber of Commerce, Giuseppe Salvini, the director of Fondazione Sistema Toscana, Francesco Palumbo and Massimo Manetti president of PromoFirenze.

“BuyWine puts our producers at the center and is also an important showcase for small and medium-sized high quality companies, which thus have the opportunity to make themselves known in the markets” added the councilor, underlining that “among the Tuscan sellers there are 177 they are organic companies and this shows how much Tuscany is working and investing in viticulture that is increasingly compatible with the environment. We have around 38% of wine producers who are organic producers – she concluded – and this is also important for foreign markets, which are increasingly attentive to environmental sustainability”.

The event concluded with the tasting dinner at Palazzo Borghese in Florence, here our Leopoldino was part of the wines selected for the gala dinner..



Our company is in line with the demands of a market that increasingly focuses on the quality and excellence of the territories..
Today buyers are increasingly looking for wines capable of responding to emerging trends, such as the predilection for organic production, coming from sustainable companies, a requirement considered of great value by the new generations, while among more mature people, with high capacity of spending and good knowledge of wine, the search for high-end and exclusive products, which are not easy to find on the reference markets, is affirmed.
