The event, founded and organized by Prodes Italia, Milanese company specialized in the promotion of the luxury sector, confirms once again the collaboration with the entrepreneur, sommelier and wine writer Adua Villa, at Palazzo del Ghiaccio, a historic and iconic Art Nouveau building in Milan.

To maximize the visibility of all the protagonists of the event, Prodes Italia, company always attentive to innovations in the technological field and new communication languages, has also decided to involve the influencer and sommelier Giulia Sattin who will tell the two days of the event through live content.

On 14 and 15 May there will be 250 companies from the wine sector and - an absolute news of this edition - from the spirits sector. Spirits companies have been carefully selected for their innovation, originality and the high quality of their products.

Moreover, like every year, food excellences cannot be missing, all carefully selected, which will accompany the wine tastings.

Given the public success of the masterclasses recorded in previous editions, Best Wine Stars has decided to increase these moments of in-depth analysis. The public will be able to meet both historical production companies and new unpublished talents through vertical tastings in over 12 masterclasses held by excellent experts. In particular, the three group masterclasses will develop around three different themes. The first, held by Livia Belardelli, a journalist from Puntarella Rossa, is "Flavors & Aromas: learning the art of pairing at the table". The other two, led by Francesco Quarna of Radio Deejay, will focus on the following topics: "Wines are born from the earth: a journey through the different territories" and "Winetelling: talking about wine in 2022".

 The following companies have joined the masterclasses: Abraxas, Alberto Massucco Champagne, Ba&co, Cà du Ferrà Wine & Tasting, Cantina di La-Vis e Valle di Cembra, Cantina Mingazzini, Cantina Moscone, Cantina Numa, Cantine Serio, Casa Vinicola Fazio, Casalis Douhet, Conte Leopardi Dittajuti, LETERRE, Marisa Cuomo, La Masseria di Sessa, Rete del Pinot bianco nel Collio, Sensi 1890, Tenute d’Italia, Tenute San Giovanni, Tenute Tomasella, Terre de Trinci, Valdo Spumanti e Vinicola Sacro Cuore.

Also for 2022 the Best Wine Stars Awards will be assigned: Best Sparkling Wine, Best White Wine, Best Red Wine, Best Communication Strategy declined in Best Logo and Best Label which will give the winners the opportunity to be involved in prestigious events organized by Prodes Italia. The Landini Award is among the 2022 news; the brand, as Main Sponsor, will establish a prize for the winner that can be used to purchase one of their products. Landini is the glorious and historic Italian brand of the Argo Tractors Group which designs and builds an articulated range of efficient and performing agricultural tractors and which bases its strength on the integration of resources and specialization.

Acque Minerali Val Menaggio was selected as the technical partner of the event. The partner will supply the Chiarella low mineral content water, Sympòsion line, which flows from the heart of the mountains surrounding Lake Como. The company has recently won the If Design Award 2021, the oldest and most prestigious European design award which saw the participation of over 10,000 candidates from 52 different countries.

Vinstrip's unique design will dress the glasses for tasting. Practical and resistant, the specially chosen cup holder pockets will accompany visitors and their glasses throughout the event.

Thanks to Thrill International, the glasses will be continuously sanitized and cooled, ready to use in seconds. In fact, in addition to reducing the use of ice, professional glass coolers remove 88% of the bacteria from the glass that cause bad odors and unpleasant aftertaste that pollute the quality of wines.

After the success in the 2019 edition, MEMORvINO is back, the digital solution dedicated to exhibitors of tasting events. All visitors, in fact, will receive a glass with an electronic chip on it. By placing the glass on the device, which will be placed on each tasting counter, at the end of the event you will receive a report of all the tastings carried out and the company contacts.

Each label present at the Best Wine Stars 2022 event will be available on the e-commerce platform www.bestwinestars.com. In addition, on the site, you can find all the companies that have joined the project and will be present at the event, where you can purchase the various wines tasted, directly from the producers.
