SUMMARY:Rome - Wine List Italy on Tour
DESCRIPTION:Wine List Italia on Tour arrives in Rome: the focus is sommeliers and the contemporary tale of wine.\nOn May 4 at Palazzo Ripetta a day between conference and Grand Tasting with 50 professionals of the room and 300 labels in tasting\nAfter four years of work dedicated to the enhancement of Italian sommeliers\, Wine List Italia continues its journey with a new stage of the Wine List on Tour project . On May 4\, 2026 it lands in Rome inside the iconic five-star Tridentine hotel\, Palazzo Ripetta\, which since its opening has established itself as a reference point for wine lovers. \nA natural evolution for a format born within the Milano Wine Week that\, keeping its identity intact\, expands its scope with the aim of building connections\, generating confrontation and strengthening the role of dining professionals in the contemporary restaurant system. Goals that have always been stated by the project’s creator and MWW president Federico Gordini. >”Arriving in Rome\, for the first time\, with Wine List on Tour means more than just adding a stage to our journey: it means entering the symbolic heart of Italian hospitality and one of the world capitals of dining\,” Gordini explains. “It is the culminating moment of a journey that today increasingly coincides with a movement capable of involving professionals\, restaurants and wineries throughout Italy\, with the aim of building a new awareness around the value of the dining room.” \nSommeliers and the tasting format\nAt the center of the project remain sommeliers\, key figures in the mediation between production and consumption\, who are increasingly crucial in the construction of thegastronomic experience. For the Rome leg\, 50 professionals will be involved. They will be selected from some of the best addresses in Lazio\, Tuscany\, Emilia-Romagna\, Marche\, Umbria\, Abruzzo\, Molise and Sardinia. Each will present six labels\, for a total of 300 wines\, according to a format that alternates territorial rootedness and personal research.  >The selection follows a precise structure but is open to individual interpretation: three wines linked to the territory of reference\, an expression of landscape\, culture and traditions; a “gem” discovered in one’s professional career; a proposal of bubbles and a wine designed for service by the glass. A system that allows the audience to read the wine through the eyes of those who live it daily in the room\, transforming the tasting into a direct and personal story.  \nThe program for the day on May 4\nThe May 4 day hosted by Palazzo Ripetta will be divided into two main moments. The morning (from 11 a.m.) will be dedicated to the conference “The present and future of sommellerie and room service.” It will be an opportunity to discuss the strategic role of the dining room professions and the need to make them increasingly attractive to new generations as well. During the meeting\, the “Wine List on Tour | Rome” guide will be presented \, a printed and digital publication that collects the profiles of the leading sommeliers and the selection of labels.In the afternoon\, from 3 to 9 p.m.\, space will be given to the Grand Tasting. 50 stations manned directly by the sommeliers will offer the public of operators\, press and enthusiasts the opportunity to taste the selected wines and discuss them with those who every day narrate and propose them in the room. A format that makes the work of sommellerie visible in a direct and accessible way\, focusing on the relationship between professional and guest.    \nThe Senate Award\nAlongside the May 4 event\, the project continues the following day with an institutional moment. On May 5 \, in fact\, at the Senate of the Republic\, the first edition of the Italian Room Excellence Award will be held\, promoted by Milano Wine Week and Wine List Italia. An award designed to enhance the protagonists of the dining room who\, through competence\, vision and professional rigor\, contribute to the growth and prestige of the Italian restaurant industry. There will be 30 personalities awarded. An initiative that marks a further step in the path of building a real system of recognition for sommellerie and service.     \nThe vision of the project\nWith this stage\, Rome becomes a strategic step for Wine List Italia\, which consolidates its role not only as a selection platform\, but as a space for growth and recognition for the entire Italian sommellerie ecosystem. Next October 18\, instead\, appointment with the national event in Milan\, during the second day of the 9th edition of Milano Wine Week (October 18-25).  \nWine List Italia on Tour | Rome Grand Tasting is open to the public.
