I Vini del Piemonte is a consortium that includes some 160 Piedmontese wine companies. The aim is to promote and communicate in the best way possible the richness and peculiarities of the different Piedmontese wine designations. Every year, the consortium organizes more than 20 promotional initiatives in different countries around the world.
Slow Wine is the Italian wine guide published by Slow Food Editor: not only reviews and organoleptic descriptions but a real wine storytelling where the deep and direct knowledge of the wine companies is the one and only protagonist.
