A context in which wine becomes an opportunity for dialogue\, comparison and discovery of different territories and production visions. \nWine according to nature\nUnderlying the event is the philosophy of the ViniVeri Consortium\, established in 2004 with the aim of promoting an approach to wine that respects natural cycles and the balance between man and the environment. In the vineyard this means avoiding pesticides\, herbicides and synthetic fertilizers\, while in the winery technical interventions are kept to a minimum\, with no selected yeasts or unnecessary additives. \nThe result is wines that are meant to be an authentic expression of the terroir\, the vintage and the work of the winemaker\, produced according to an agricultural vision that focuses on biodiversity\, sustainability and territorial identity. \nTastings and face-to-face meeting with winemakers\nThe heart of the event are the tasting counters\, where visitors can sample hundreds of labels presented directly by producers. The 2026 edition will see the participation of more than 120-150 winemakers from different Italian regions and other European countries\, brought together to tell about their wines and their understanding of viticulture. \nAlongside the tastings\, the program includes in-depth discussions\, meetings and gastronomic initiatives that bring wine into dialogue with other quality artisanal products\, such as cheeses\, cured meats\, oil and other local products. \nThe event is also an important opportunity for winemakers\, industry professionals and wine lovers to meet in a more intimate and authentic setting than the big international fairs. \nA key appointment during the week of Vinitaly\nOver the years\, ViniVeri has become one of the most anticipated events on the natural and artisanal wine calendar\, thanks in part to its strategic location in the days immediately preceding Vinitaly\, attracting to Cerea many operators and enthusiasts already present in the Verona area for the major international fair. \nAn appointment that\, more than just a tasting\, aims to tell the story of a community of winemakers who share values and agricultural practices oriented toward quality\, respect for the environment and the expressive freedom of wine. \nUseful information\n\nDates: April 10 – 12\, 2026\nLocation: Area Exp “The Factory\,” Cerea (Verona)\nHours: 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.\nFormat: tasting booths\, meetings with producers\, in-depth discussions and artisanal food products\n\nFor the full program and list of participating winemakers: https://www.viniveri.net/ URL:https://www.doctorwine.wine/event/cerea-viniveri-2026/?lang=en LOCATION:Area Exp La Fabbrica Cerea\, Via Guglielmo Oberdan\, 10\, Cerea (Verona)\, Italy CATEGORIES:Tasting,Veneto Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.doctorwine.wine/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Cerea-ViniVeri-2026-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260411 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260412 DTSTAMP:20260416T062827 CREATED:20260311T082851Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260311T082851Z UID:53361-1775865600-1775951999@www.doctorwine.wine SUMMARY:Verona - OperaWine 2026 DESCRIPTION:OperaWine – The Best Italian Wines 2026: the elite of Italian wine opens the week of Vinitaly\n\n\n\n\nOperaWine is the event that traditionally opens the week of Vinitaly and brings together a selection of the best Italian wineries in front of journalists\, buyers and industry professionals from around the world.\n\n\n\n\nThe 2026 edition of OperaWine\, to be heldApril 11 in Verona\, promises to be particularly significant. A celebration of Italian winemaking excellence that looks simultaneously at tradition and new generations of producers. \nA unique event in the wine scene\nOperaWine was born in 2012 from the collaboration between Veronafiere and the American magazine Wine Spectator\, one of the world’s most influential publications in the wine industry. \nOperaWine is the exclusive event that offers specialized operators from all over the world the chance to learn about the best Italian wines. The rankings are compiled by experts from Wine Spectator\, a publication that is an internationally recognized authority in the wine industry. Each year\, the judges subject the selected Italian wines to careful visual and taste-olfactory scrutiny and assign each a score based on several criteria. Out of this scrutiny comes the excellence of Italian producers: wineries from all over the peninsula that\, despite their differences in terroir\, production style and company size\, are united by the very high quality of the wines they produce. OperaWine gives journalists\, operators and key industry personalities exclusive access to this Finest Italian Wines Selection by Wine Spectator. \nThe true protagonist of the event is the ability to tell the great diversity of Italian wine\, both in tradition and in the new frontiers of enology. However it is declined\, this richness deserves to be communicated and promoted all over the world: OperaWine is in fact also a kermesse with an international scope\, a showcase that projects the best Italian wines towards exports to the major foreign markets. \nHowever\, selected Italian wines are not solely a commodity. On the contrary\, they are true ambassadors of Made in Italy\, an interweaving of emotionality and culture that goes beyond the simple bottle. They are products that\, on the occasion of this elite tasting\, create the valuable opportunity to discuss Communication\, e-Commerce and Marketing related to a commercial sphere that\, in these fields\, still has a long way to go. \nThis is not just a tasting\, but a true showcase of contemporary Italian wine\, capable of recounting territories\, styles and production histories that have built Italy’s reputation on the world wine scene. \nThe 150 wineries featured in the 2026 edition\nThe format is simple but extremely selective: a large invitation-only tasting where producers chosen by Wine Spectator present their wines to an international audience of professionals. \nThe big news of OperaWine 2026 is the expanded selection: 150 Italian wineries chosen by the experts of Wine Spectator. \nTo better tell the richness and complexity of Italian wine\, the selection was divided into three categories: \n\nLegacy Icons – 31 historic wineries featured in all editions of OperaWine\nClassic – 69 established producers representative of their territories\nNew Voices – 50 wineries founded from 1990 onward\, symbolizing the new generation of Italian wine\n\nAn effective way to show how Italian wine is built on a continuity between history and innovation\, where tradition and new energies coexist and reinforce each other. \nAs always\, OperaWine also offers a snapshot of Italy’s wine geography. Traditional territories that have contributed greatly to the international reputation of Italian wine for decades\, but coexist alongside emerging appellations and new interpreters of contemporary wine. \nVinitaly’s most prestigious preview\nOperaWine is the premiere event of Vinitaly\, the most elegant way to declare open the dances of the most important International Wine and Spirits Exhibition.

The acronym\, in fact\, does not identify a type of wine but the vine varieties from which these wines originate\, a fundamental technical aspect that the event aims to communicate clearly and rigorously. \nAlso coming in 2026 to strengthen this path is the collaboration with PIWI Italia\, the national association that coordinates producers of resistant varieties and promotes proper communication on the subject. The synergy will lead to the organization of technical discussions\, master classes and in-depth meetings dedicated to sustainability\, agronomic innovation and the future prospects of viticulture. \nExhibition market and tastings\nThe heart of Irresistible Piwi will be the Exhibition Market\, where numerous companies will present wines made from resistant varieties from different Italian and European territories. \nParticipating wineries include\, among others\, Lieselehof\, Pravis\, Sartori Organic\, Resistenti Nicola Biasi\, Albafiorita\, Castello di Grumello\, Tenuta Gambalonga\, VinVentum\, Terre Alte di Alpago and Nove Lune\, joined by many others committed to the development and enhancement of Piwi grape varieties. \nAlongside the producers\, the world of viticultural research and breeding will also be present\, with focuses dedicated to genetic selection and rooted vine production.
