PROWEIN 2014

Puglia will be present again at this year's edition of ProWein from 23rd to 25th March. The German trade fair is increasingly important on the international wine scene, and attracts increasing numbers of buyers, wine traders and international journalists from all over the world. This makes it an important event for the promotion of Puglia's quality wines - for strengthening the region's presence on the German market and for seizing the opportunities offered by other foreign markets.

This year's edition will see extraordinary participation by wineries from Puglia, with a grand total of 43 wineries present inside the official exhibition area of Regione Puglia's Agro-Food Resources Office and Unioncamere Puglia in Halle 3.

The DE.S.A. (German Sommelier Association) and its partner the Movimento Turismo del Vino Puglia, will keep the 'enoteca' area inside the official Regione Puglia stand busy with wine-tasting 'made in Puglia' – guided by expert sommeliers. This is where visitors can obtain information about the region's wine-growing sector and about wine tourism opportunities, getting to know the territory and its wines better.

Another prestigious showcase for Puglia's wines comes in the shape of three wine tasting events, dedicated to Nero di Troia and Primitivo, Whites and Rosés, and Negroamaro, with an in-depth look at the region's wine-growing territories presented by three expert speakers:

Sunday 23rd at 2.00 pm

Primitivo and Nero di Troia - two of Puglia's great wines. They are original, typical and full-bodied, sharing the same origins, but quite different. Guided wine-tasting with Jens Priewe, journalist with Weinkenner.de

Monday 24th at 10.30 am

Puglia's white and rosé wines - fresh, aromatic and refined. Territories and trends in the magical wine-growing region. Guided wine-tasting with Veronika Crecelius, Meininger Verlag's Italian correspondent.

Monday 24th at 4.30 pm

Negroamaro – discover the face of Puglia with this famous, important and special wine. Guided wine-tasting with Christine Mayr, President of the South Tyrol Sommelier Association

Straight away after Prowein, Puglia will be ready to take its wines to the other big international wine fair: Vinitaly in Verona, from 6th to 9th April. The complete programme is on available at www.vinidipuglia.com.
