After their successful collaboration in Hong Kong in May, Gambero Rosso and Vinexpo join forces again to celebrate Italian wine culture in Asia. The Gambero Rosso Tre Bicchieri

World Tour takes off in Tokyo. The event is scheduled

for Wednesday, November 16 in the elegant Prince

Park Tower Hotel. The opening ceremony takes place

at 11am to launch the Japanese version of Vini d’Italia,

edited by the Kodansha group. A gala tasting will follow

from 12pm to 6pm, featuring the best of Italian wines

as chosen by Gambero Rosso: Tre Bicchieri winners.

No other Italian wine event has such a restrictive

selection filter, a guarantee of absolute quality.

On the same day, the curators of the Vini d’Italia guide

will conduct two seminars. One will offer top-level

technical insights into the special awards in the Vini

d’Italia 2017 guide, that is, the best wines chosen among

more than 40,000 samples tasted for this edition. The

second seminar will focus on the most popular wine

of the moment, Prosecco, in collaboration with the

Consorzio di Tutela del Prosecco DOC.

3 Japanese consumers have been showing an extraordinary interest in Italian culture. Among

the world’s cities, Tokyo is one that has shown the

most marked interest in Italian food and wine.That

sensibility is encouraged by excellent local Italian

restaurants. Fresh ingredients, simple cooking

methods and a focus on primary aromas and flavors

are elements fundamental to both Japanese and

Italian cuisine, and both offer an inexhaustible range

of pleasurable wine-food pairings. During the opening

ceremony, the best Italian restaurant in Japan

according to the digital guide Top Italian Restaurants

Around the World will be honored. The guide will be

released at the end of 2016.

Italian wine exports are enjoying an extraordinary

upward trend. They have grown over 500% over the

last 30 years. The Italian wine system is joining forces

to strengthen an image that has never before been so

powerful and well-positioned on a global level. Last

data on wine exports for the first five months of 2016

show a 1.3% increase in volume and another 3.7%

increase in value.

abouT Gambero rosso

Gambero Rosso, the most important multimedia brand in the Italian food and wine world, now celebrates its 30th year. In 1986, Gambero Rosso took its first steps as an insert

in a daily newspaper, but by the next year its first

Guida dei Vini went to print, the 1988 edition. After

that, dozens of guides and books followed. In 1999,

Gambero Rosso Channel, the first thematic television

channel in Europe, began broadcasting. Shortly after,

a constellation of the Città del Gusto sites was founded

in Italy, followed by Gambero Rosso Academy in

the rest of the world, with cooking classes for

professionals and amateurs, along with courses about

wine, journalism master programs, and seminars

on restaurant management. Recently, the company

was launched on the stock market. Meanwhile, a

fascination with Italy has been growing in the world,

a longing for its authentic products, and Gambero

Rosso events organized around the globe have

multiplied. Since the first ones in 1990, the number

of events on our international calendar has grown to

over 40. They are above all, but not only, dedicated to

wine, supported by the translations of the guide Vini

d’Italia. That volume is translated in German, English,

Chinese and Japanese.

abouT Vini d’iTalia 2017

As the thirtieth edition of its Vini d’Italia guide is being printed, the Gambero Rosso world tours begin. These events

represent thirty years of experience,

of great wines, of changes. In the first

edition, 32 Tre Bicchieri were selected

from 1,500 wines tasted. This year, 429

Tre Bicchieri have emerged from over

40,000 labels sampled. The Guide

has accompanied the renaissance of

Italian wine step by step, in an era extraordinarily rich

in transformational new approaches. During these

years, the foundations were laid for the international

affirmation of the Italian wine sector. Today, there is

a new generation of both producers and consumers

on the scene, while the arts of communication and

promotion have been revolutionized.
