Here is a preview of the list of the 262 wineries that have obtained the Impronta recognition.

The presentation event of the Guide Cantine d'Italia 2024, the Guide for Wine Tourists edited by Go Wine , is scheduled for Thursday 30 November in Milan in the rooms of the Hotel Melià.

A presentation event which will be followed by the award ceremony of the 262 wineries that have obtained the recognition of L'Imprint of excellence for wine tourism, recognition of this Guide which rewards wineries that reach a score threshold in combination with three main factors underlying the assessment:

Site : the place where the cellar is located, also looking at the cellar itself from an architectural point of view; but also site to be understood as the overall heritage of vineyards available to the winery.

Hospitality : the vocation of the winery to "open up" to the public with a parallel activity, both in the hospitality sector: farmhouse, B&B or restaurant, and by carrying out cultural initiatives that are aimed at the outside world.

Wine : the production profile of the company evaluated over time, beyond the outcome of a single harvest; taking into account the character of the production, the excellence of some labels, the particular attention paid to specific types of wines.

With this press release we reveal in the attached document the name of all 262 wineries that have contained the recognition for the 2024 edition.
