WINE NEWS / New Plans for the Enoteca Italiana

Fabio Carlesi, the new Secretary General of the Enoteca Italiana, has presented a very clear program. He intends to stand firm on issues of protection and consolidation, and he stressed the importance of the marriage between wine and land. This last will be the leitmotif of the Enoteca’s promotion abroad, which will focus mostly on the Eastern European markets and China. The production of generic wines is a potential problem that would seriously maim the Italian presence in foreign markets, making prevention another crucial part of his program. But the new program won’t just be wine – the new catch phrase will be “oeno-gastronomy,” with wine touted as the Italian product par excellence. Carlesi further hopes to establish bonds with numerous estates, which should bring the Enoteca closer to the people and products it represents while also allowing it to integrate nationwide promotional endeavors with individual ones.
