Importers and foreign journalists expected at Radici del Sud 2023

Here is the intense program and the first names of the authoritative international guests.

From 8 to 12 June Radici del Sud will host over 40 national and international experts selected to learn about wine and oil production which in recent years has attracted the attention of a vast audience of professionals from all over the world. Guests will come from Canada , China, South Korea, Denmark, France, Germany, England, Ireland, Norway, Holland, Sweden, USA, Vietnam, as well as from our country. The qualified and expert journalists and importers from all over the world, divided into 4 groups, will be engaged on 8 and 9 June in the press/buyers tours scheduled in the various territories of the southern regions to allow them to appreciate directly in the production areas, the wines from native grapes and oils from Southern Italy. In the following two days ( 10-11 June ) the main activities will continue at the Castello di Sannicandro di Bari and will be those related to the wine competition which will take place through 2 juries, divided into 4 tasting commissions, structured to provide immediate verdicts reading: international journalists who will presumably express an opinion more linked to the international tastes of their countries of origin will be part of a jury, while the other jury will be made up of national journalists who will provide an opinion more linked to the identity of the territory and the grape variety . This allows wine producers to have two interpretations through the scores of the two juries and above all to deepen the way of thinking about Southern wine both in Italy and abroad. On the same days the wine-buyers will be busy in the Castle of Sannicandro di Bari with the BtoB meetings with the wine and oil producers .

June 12 , the last day of the event, will be entirely dedicated to the awarding of the winning wines of the XVIII edition which will be held during the conference from 11.00 to 12.30 and to the Wine and Oil Show open to the public from 15.00 to 21.00, for use and consumption of sector operators, inside and outside enthusiasts who will be able to visit the exhibition desks of wine and oil producers who will present the entire range of production. At the Salone, at the disposal of visitors, there is also a food area with tasting counters of producers of gastronomic products and chefs to taste the productions and possible preparations of the chefs.

To conclude the eighteenth edition of the Salone from 21.00 to 24.00 the great chefs and pizza makers of our southern territories will participate in the celebration of the winning wines, who will set up a great food and wine festival open to the public in the courtyard of the Castle in Sannicandro di Bari. access will be allowed until all available places are filled.
