Open Bottles (Bottiglie Aperte) 2015

Open Bottles (Bottiglie Aperte) brings to Milan a selection of the most representative wineries of the Italian territory, characterized by a high standard of quality and a strong bond with the territory of origin. The wines of the wineries selected by Open Bottles are the most authentic expression of the scents, colors, history and traditions from which they come.

The event is organized by Blend Srl and Aliante Business Solution, led by Federico Gordini, Chairman of the Milano Food Week, and with an exceptional testimonial like Luca Gardini and many other professionals who will join the schedule of tastings.



AIMS

Open Bottles intends to become an event dedicated mainly to professionals in the Ho.re.ca channel, which will have the chance to talk and taste in a professional and quality way the products to some of the most prestigious Italian wineries. The month of September is the ideal time to address the programming of the year in which the highest consumptions concentrate. The project will involve, with free personalized invitations valid for two persons, all the major Italian clients. Private customers will be appropriately selected and can only be accessed by paying a fee. The event will also include tastings and master classes upon subscription, led by Luca Gardini.



LOCATION

The choice of the location for this year is a tribute to Leonardo da Vinci and his relationship with the world of wine. A unique place to take stock of the world of wine during the greatest moment of worldwide reflection on the theme of nutrition. Located in the heart of Milan, the exhibition will be set between the Cloisters of the Museum and two of the most extraordinary Halls of the location, the Sala del Cenacolo and the Sala delle Colonne. To be accommodated in a unique environment like this will be an event "in the event".
