A Tasting Of Wines From Italy ™ / Une Dégustation De Vins D’Italie Mc returned for its 28th edition. This Italian wine roadshow for the industry featured 86 Italian winemakers from all over the country, and they showcased their best wines. It is organized by the Italian Trade Commission (ITC) offices in Canada and is a highlight on the calendar. It started in Vancouver and then continued to Calgary, Toronto, and Montreal. Toronto’s event was held at the Roy Thomson Hall.

Attendees, which included wine agents, representatives from provincial Liquor Boards, and media, all got to experience walk-around wine tastings along with meetings with winemakers and their agents. The Toronto roadshow had a masterclass called “Geographic Precision: Understanding Italy’s Latest UGA’s, MAG’s, CONTRADA’s, and PIEVE’s,” run by Master Sommelier John Szabo.

Italian wines in Canada have increased their market share over the years, and the demand is expected to rise even further. As such, ITC also offers specialized seminars, study trips, sponsored participation in trade shows, and supports promotional campaigns for Italian products in hundreds of stores.

Prior to the tastings, attendees enjoyed a delicious Italian buffet provided by Stelvio. The buffet featured a wide variety of items, including Polenta Con Ragu Sauce, Insalta Croccarde, Pasta alla Crudaiola, Quiche di Zucchine, Polenta con Caponata di Verdure, Pinzimonio con hummus di ceci, Le Lingue di Suocera bread, Focaccia, Focaccia di Capella Salumi, Proscuitto, Flavoured Olives, Mortadella, Giardiniera, and Parmigiano Reggiano.

Then, it was time to do the tastings. There were so many wonderful wines to choose from, and it was hard to decide which ones to try.

A few of the wines that were sampled include:

• Foss Marai Spumanti Valdobbiadene- Guia represented by Noble Estates Wine and Spirits
