Italians look to conquer Portuguese wine market

Italian wine distributors La Fattoria have launched a selection of Italy’s finest regional wines onto the Portuguese market, the official presentation taking place at the exclusive Vilamoura Hilton Hotel.

La Fattoria’s project was introduced at the same time as the winner of Best Sommelier 2008, Manuel Moreira, elected by the Association Internacional de Sommeliers.

It is hoped that La Fattoria will become a point of reference for quality Italian wine in Portugal.

“We are ready to take on the great opportunities presented by the Portuguese market, which has a long, mature tradition of wine making, and is ready to expand its knowledge beyond the national frontier”, said Roberto Del Gizzo, country manager of La Fattoria Portugal, which is based in Cascais.
