With Simply Italian Great Wines, the excellence of Italian winemaking lands in Asia, where quality and tradition meet fast-growing markets. The international format created by I.E.M. \u2013 International Exhibition Management will feature two strategic stops: on December 2 in Tokyo, at the brand-new and prestigious JW Marriott Hotel, and on December 4 in Taipei, at the elegant W Taipei Hotel, with a program combining high-level masterclasses and tastings dedicated to industry professionals.<\/p>\n
Over thirty Italian wineries will take center stage, representing the country\u2019s most important regions and appellations, alongside organizations such as Federdoc, UNI.DOC Friuli Venezia Giulia, Consorzio Pinot Grigio delle Venezie, and Confagricoltura, confirming Simply Italian\u2019s strategic role as a platform for connecting producers and international operators in a setting that celebrates the diversity and quality of Made in Italy.<\/p>\n
“Japan and Taiwan are strategic markets for Italian wine, with growing attention to quality, authenticity, and territorial diversity,”<\/em> says Marina Nedic, Managing Director of I.E.M. “In this context, Simply Italian Great Wines stands out as an essential event to strengthen Italy\u2019s presence in dynamic, quality-driven markets. The event serves as a platform for dialogue and promotion, fostering new business collaborations and enhancing knowledge of Italian excellence through targeted educational activities.”<\/em><\/p>\n In Tokyo, Simply Italian will kick off with three masterclasses led by renowned wine journalist and educator Isao Miyajima: the first, organized by Federdoc, will focus on traceability and regulations of Italian wines; followed by a tasting hosted by UNI.DOC Friuli Venezia Giulia on native Friulian grape varieties; and finally, an in-depth session on Pinot Grigio curated by Consorzio Pinot Grigio delle Venezie DOC. In Taipei, the spotlight will shift to the regions of Campania, Emilia-Romagna, and Lombardy with a masterclass organized by Confagricoltura and a tasting dedicated to Friulian varieties by UNI.DOC Friuli Venezia Giulia. These two sessions will be led by Aaron Chuang, Editor-in-Chief of Taiwan Wine Forum and lecturer at Taiwan Wine Academy. Each city will also host a commercial workshop, a key opportunity for companies to meet and engage with the country\u2019s top industry players.<\/p>\n Japan remains a key market for Italian wine, ranking second only to France in import value, with strong demand particularly in the sparkling wine segment, which accounts for 35% of total imports. Taiwan, the third-largest Asian market by value, has recorded a 53% increase in value and a 2.3% rise in volume for Italian wine imports in recent years, signaling growing interest in the quality and diversity of Made in Italy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Two exclusive events to promote the excellence of Italian wine in the most dynamic markets, featuring masterclasses by international experts and over 30 leading wineries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":14690,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.simplyitaliangreatwines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14706","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.simplyitaliangreatwines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.simplyitaliangreatwines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.simplyitaliangreatwines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.simplyitaliangreatwines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14706"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.simplyitaliangreatwines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14706\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14710,"href":"https:\/\/www.simplyitaliangreatwines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14706\/revisions\/14710"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.simplyitaliangreatwines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14690"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.simplyitaliangreatwines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14706"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.simplyitaliangreatwines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14706"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.simplyitaliangreatwines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14706"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
