The presentation of The Ultimate Guide to Italian Wine 2018

The latest edition of our The Ultimate Guide to Italian Wine will be presented to the public in Milan on Sunday, October 1, with an awards ceremony in the morning and a wine tasting in the afternoon. 

The numbers are growing in fourth edition of our Guide to Italian wine with 297 wines receiving the DoctorWine ‘faccino’ hedcut recognition for being the shining stars of Italian production. As our readers know, this guide from DoctorWine is different beginning with its title, with “ultimate” indicating that it is not an encyclopedic overview but a selection of the best wineries and their wines .

Give the high level of quality Italian estates are producing, this selection was anything but easy. At times we were forced to make difficult yet necessary decisions to maintain the editorial guidelines established for our Guide.

The result of our efforts will be presented in Milan on October 1  and then again in Rome, on October 15.

The presentation in Milan will be held at the Hotel Principe di Savoia, Piazza della Repubblica 17. Hours: 4-9pm during which you will be able to taste a selection of wines included in the Guide many of which received prizes.
