Vinitaly Tasting – The DoctorWine Selection 2026

For more than 10 years, DoctorWine has been running the Vinitaly Tasting – The DoctorWine Selection space to celebrate the excellence of Italian wine. This well-established partnership is also confirmed for Vinitaly 2026, scheduled to take place in Verona April 12-15.

For more than a decade, DoctorWine has participated in Vinitaly with a dedicated space: Vinitaly Tasting – The DoctorWine Selection, consolidating a path of valorization of Italian wines and producers in one of the most important wine fairs in the world.

Vinitaly represents a reference point for producers, distributors and professionals in the horeca and wine trade, gathering thousands of exhibitors and hundreds of thousands of Italian and international operators. And this is where the DoctorWine program fits in.

Vinitaly Tasting – The DoctorWine Selection: history and growth

Since the beginning of the collaboration, Vinitaly has entrusted DoctorWine, and its founder Daniele Cernilli, with a thematic space to present a targeted selection of Italian wines. This appointment has become a real point of reference within the fair for professional operators.

The formula is now well established:

• Wine tastings on Wineemotion dispensers., featuring hundreds of labels selected by DoctorWine and available in a free-access area for those in attendance.
• Thematic seminars led by Daniele Cernilli or his expert collaborators – Riccardo Viscardi, Stefania Vinciguerra, Sissi Baratella, Livia Belardelli, Francesca Granelli, Erika Mantovan… – designed to delve into grape varieties, territories, styles and trends in Italian wine production.

Seminars as the heart of the experience

Parallel to the free tastings, DoctorWine is organizing thematic tasting seminars that are confirmed as the cultural heart of the initiative. The sessions-addressed to operators by reservation-permit to represent the diversity of the Italian wine scene, offering an opportunity to discover new vintages and emerging producers, in addition to the more established major labels.

This educational and engaging formula has helped the event grow, attracting hundreds of professionals each year eager to catch up on industry news and discover wines that deserve attention.

With pride, we can say that DoctorWine’s continuous presence at Vinitaly is not just an exhibition: it is an active contribution to wine culture. Thanks to the recognized expertise of Daniele Cernilli and his team, the Vinitaly Tasting space represents more than just a tasting: it is a moment of discussion, education and networking for operators.

These are the subject areas of this year’s seminars:

• An explosion of bubbles
• The great vineyards of the north: AltoAdige
• Brunello, Vino Nobile and Chianti Classico
• Supertuscan & Co
• Italian white wines between modernity and recovery of tradition
• The boom of Vermentino, a modern and surprising white wine
• Mediterranean reds, timeless reds
• Etna and Langhe: a striking comparison
• Lugana and Verdicchio: separated at birth
• The enlarged Montepulciano

The seminar calendar is being updated.

The seminars will all take place inside our booth at the Hall 10/A1-B1 at VeronaFiere.
