Bello Vino, the first and only Italian Wine Journey in Malaysia, began on 13 November, 2023 and subsequently concluded on 18 November, 2023 with a resounding success!
Attracting over 500 participants throughout the week-long event, Bello Vino achieved its intended aim of showcasing and introducing the rich tapestry of Italian wines, from all regions of Italy, through a series of masterclasses, dinners, Italian Wine Expo and wine tasting opportunities.
Attendees embarked on a captivating journey with Bello Vino through Italy’s diverse wine regions, Participants had the opportunity to savor the distinct flavors and aromas of each region, guided by the expertise of the Owners and/or Export Managers whom flew in directly from the Italian Wineries themselves.
Bello Vino not only was a learning and networking opportunity for the Trade Professionals, it also served as an event for cultural exchange, bringing together wine sommeliers and enthusiasts internationally. Through the combined experiences and sharing by everyone, participants gained a deeper appreciation for Italian wines, its ‘winecrafts’ and its legacy.
The event’s success would not have been possible without the invaluable support of the Italian wineries that participated. Their passion and dedication to their craft were evident in the exceptional wines they presented, leaving a lasting impression on all who tasted them.
