Luiz Alberto fans, experience the unmistakable taste of Italy
returning to New York City in what has become an annual tradition. The Consorzio Vino Chianti will present over 30 different wineries to the trade, media and wine lovers on Monday, April 27, at the magnificent structure of the 20s, located in the heart of the trendy Chelsea District, The High Line Hotel.
The day-long event will start with a blind tasting and presentation “The Media’s Point of View: Chianti” led by an illustrious panel consisting of:
- Ray Isle – Renowned journalist and executive Wine Editor of “Food and Wine Magazine”
- LUIZ ALBRTO – Charismatic founder and CEO of the popular blog, “The Wine Hub”
- Sarah Bray – Passionate journalist and contributor to “The Somm Journal”
- Giovanni Busi – President of the Consorzio Vino Chianti and owner of Villa Travignoli
The content discussed during the seminar will cover Chianti in various communication channels, and the expert’s point of view.
In the afternoon, the gothic influenced Refectory ballroom at The High
Line Hotel will be the setting for a walk around wine tasting. More than
30 wineries from one of Italy's finest regions will pour their latest
releases exclusively for the trade and media from 1 pm to 5 pm. In the
evening, from 6 pm to 8 pm, the tasting will open to #ChiantiLovers
and Snooth Media subscribers offering them the opportunity to choose
and taste from a wide selection of labels offered by the Consortium and
engage first-hand with the winery producers.
Even as a young and fresh wine, Chianti aims to reach the highest
quality. All these elements can be found in the commitment the
Consortium is vastly carrying out to spread its culture and history,
which can be found inside and outside the glass. A concept of territory
and a denomination that wants to express quality along strong lasting
emotions.

The Chianti Wine Consortium was established in 1927 by a
group of wine producers in the Provinces of Florence, Siena, Arezzo and
Pistoia. Subsequently the Consortium expanded its operations to include
the whole production area recognized by the 1967 Regulations, later
assimilated into the Guaranteed Registered Designation of Origin (DOCG)
recognized in 1984 and updated, for the last time, with a decree dated
19th June 2009.
The Consortium protects over 3600 producers, working more than 15,500
hectares of vineyards, producing in excess of 800,000 hectoliters of
Chianti wine of various zones and typologies and has been attributed the
“ERGA OMNES” recognition for its representative status. It was charged
with carrying out functions regarding consumer information, protection,
promotion and valorization, as well as the general care of interests
related to D.O.C.G. “Chianti”, through a Decree issued by the Ministry
of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies on September 3rd 2012.
