100 companies presented their flagship products to an audience of industry professionals with a view of Rome from the Terrazza Caffarelli.
Rome is preparing to welcome Vinòforum 2025. In the meantime, Vinòforum Class was the occasion to meet the 300 most important operators in the sector of the Capital, presenting them with a list of almost 200 labels including Wines, Spirits and Extra Virgin Olive Oils and anticipating the event that will come to life in Piazza di Siena from 8 to 14 September . The space of taste will be over 16,000 square meters and will host 800 exhibitors , including wineries, consortia and prestigious entities in the world of spirits, for a representative parterre of quality Italian winemaking, but which also leaves room for numerous international excellences.
“The 2025 edition aims to be an unprecedented one and all the conditions are there – underlined Emiliano De Venuti, creator and organizer of the event – We want to continue to be the place where wine and food become culture: in fact, our mission is, and will always remain, to enhance Italian excellence, both on the production side and on the professionals side. We have chosen to renew ourselves again this year by bringing our event to the setting of Piazza di Siena where over 800 exhibitors are expected to tell the story of the best of our oenology and over 60 restaurants, chefs and pizza chefs who will amaze with their talent. All for a program of masterclasses, meetings, signature dinners, digital spaces and moments dedicated to business that will be able to involve the public of enthusiasts and, at the same time, reserve important opportunities for discussion for operators in the sector.”
An event of great scope, but at the same time always dedicated to excellence: this is precisely the message reiterated during Vinòforum Class , which represented an initial meeting point, in view of the September days. Over 100 companies animated this preview, with a particular focus on the wine, olive and sparkling wine production of Lazio, thanks to the collaboration with the Lazio Region, Arsial and the Rome Chamber of Commerce .
“This year too, the Lazio Region is pleased to participate in Vinòforum – highlighted Giancarlo Righini, Councilor for Budget, Agriculture and Food Sovereignty, Hunting and Fishing, Parks and Forests – an important event for territorial promotion. We present ourselves with our cellars in the presence of tasters and buyers from every corner of Italy, to make known the excellence of our territory.”
“Vinòforum Class – is the comment of the President of Arsial Massimiliano Raffa – confirms itself as a strategic event for the narration of quality wine, in a reserved, selective and highly prestigious context. Also this year, Arsial has chosen to be there to support the wine sector of Lazio, which represents one of the most dynamic assets of our agriculture. The wineries present had the opportunity to meet qualified operators and tell their work through the most representative labels. An ideal preview in view of the next edition of Vinòforum, of which we will once again be partners, in the wake of that Lazio Model that focuses on the synergy between promotion, innovation, production quality and territorial roots.”
Vinòforum Class also reserved a space for the selection of Vini Buoni d’Italia and EvooSchool , as well as a tasting corner dedicated to spirits. Among the Italian labels, from Veneto to Sicily, passing through Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Piedmont and Lombardy, there were also the great Maisons of Champagne, but also representatives from Spain, Croatia and South Africa, all for a first taste that aroused great interest from the press and industry insiders.
A grand presentation where the cornerstones of Vinòforum were reaffirmed, which for over 20 years has been a showcase for all the excellent products of our country, making Rome, the Capital of wine and food, an inseparable pair. At Vinòforum Piazza di Siena 2025, The Night Dinners will return, exclusive dinners created by renowned chefs from all over Italy, as well as Temporary Restaurants , spaces dedicated to the best of the region’s restaurants.
In this scenario, one of the most beloved symbols of Italian cuisine will not be missing: this year too, Vinòforum will host the Pizza Dinner Gala with the great masters of pizza, but above all it will be the stage for the final of La Città della Pizza 2025 , the competition dedicated to the search for new talents who will have the opportunity to experience the emotions of the final in the center of Rome. 9 finalists, chosen during the selection phase, on Sunday 14 September, will present their pizza in front of the jury composed of the best experts and journalists in the sector.
Vinòforum also dedicates space to the great tastings, once again organized and guided by the Associazione Italiana Sommelier Lazio and also in this edition there will be the Digital Garden , a space dedicated to face-to-face interviews with chefs and pizza chefs, wine producers, influencers and communicators. A place designed to delve into the hottest topics in the sector and learn the stories of the great names of Italian food and wine who, in every area, contribute to the growth of the entire sector.
