It’s a great opportunity to learn more about three different winemaking regions in Italy — Veneto, Friuli, Lazio and Tuscany. The events will give local wine distributors the chance to meet with potential suppliers.
Their group will be led by Sebastiano Bazzano, an Italian export consultant whose company B.Connected helps Italian wineries to find the right importer in countries around the world. A longtime partner of the IACC, Sebastiano also works with importers and their suppliers to facilitates logistics once an importer has placed an order for his clients’ wines.

Gotto d’Oro (Lazio)
Gagia Blu (Toscana)
Villa Russiz (Friuli)
