On Saturday, November 28, and Sunday, November 29, join us at Piacenza Expo for the fifth edition of the Independent Winemakers’ Wine Market.

Italy’s largest wine exhibition and market has reached a record number of 330 exhibitors this year, hailing from every region of Italy. All of these producers are members of FIVI (Italian Federation of Independent Winemakers), an association that brings together and represents winemakers who oversee the entire production process, personally managing every step from the vineyard to the bottle.

So in Piacenza, there won’t just be wines to taste—with over 2,000 labels available—but visitors will also be able to immerse themselves in Italy’s wine culture by meeting directly with the people who grow the grapes and produce the wine themselves. Winemakers who, through their work, have become guardians of the land and are now its passionate and authentic storytellers. This will provide an opportunity to learn about the varieties, production techniques, challenges, and rewards of a form of agriculture rooted in tradition yet open to the challenges of tomorrow.
