VINITALY 2011 by Philip S. Kampe


VINITALY, the Worlds LARGEST Trade wine show is in full swing in Verona, Italy.

Over 160,000 people will attend this years event.

Over 35,000 wines will be sampled. Attending this event, for me, has been like a DREAM!

Top wines from Italys 20 provinces, all for the asking. I have run into some of Americas TOP importers and distributors, including Scott Gerber of Martin Scott and represenatives from TEdward Wines and Winebow.

I was fortunate to have joined Anthony Dias Blue at a dinner hosted by Andreas Sartori, owner of SARTORI Vineyards of Verona. I, also, spent the better part of a day with Marco Scapagnini of DOMODIMONTI wines, Le Marches "NATURAL Wines".

After the show ends, I plan to visit the vineyard, with The Wine Hubs own, Luiz Alberto and his lovely wife, Nanci.
