Veronafiere President Federico Bricolo and General Manager Adolfo Rebughini met a delegation of 30 leading US wine importers on the second day of the 57th Vinitaly, the international wine and spirits exhibition running until 9 April. The delegation forms part of a wider American presence at Vinitaly 2025, with more than 3,000 professionals from the US market attending across the four-day event.

The meeting provided an important platform to engage directly with one of the world’s most influential reference markets, reinforcing dialogue between Veronafiere and US stakeholders ahead of upcoming global events. In the coming weeks, Vinitaly will participate in a high-profile initiative promoted by the Italian Embassy in Washington, attended by members of the US Congress associated with the Italian-American Committee and the National Italian American Foundation. This forms part of the lead-up to Vinitaly.USA, scheduled to take place in Chicago from 5–6 October 2025.

The institutional gathering also saw participation from Matteo Zoppas, President of the ICE Trade Agency; Molly Matelski, Director of Buyer Relations at Fiere Italiane; and Fulvio Calcinardi, Executive Director of the Italian American Chamber of Commerce of the Midwest – Chicago.
