Chalices in the air! Pentecost is celebrated in Castellina in Chianti
Tastings, wine tours, and wine games. On 26, 27 and 28 May, the 25th edition of ” Pentecost in Castellina in Chianti” took place, a much-awaited event organised by the Associazione Viticoltori di Castellina in Chianti (SI). Kicking off the event was the most evocative event: “Dining with the Classico”, an evening of fine food and great wines that brought together under the iconic medieval vaults of Castellina around 170 guests, including Italian and foreign food and wine journalists, to taste typical traditional Tuscan dishes accompanied by the best Chianti Classico wines offered by the 40 winegrowers of the Association. On Saturday and Sunday, again along the mediaeval walkway, almost a thousand people, including wine enthusiasts, tourists and the merely curious, stopped by the wine tasting counters to sample the best Chianti Classico wines in the area, accompanied by Tuscan street food prepared by the restaurateurs of Castellina in Chianti. For the more advanced, there was also an entertaining seminar-survey, conducted by Armando Castagno, a wine professional and profound connoisseur of the area, who led a blind tasting of eight red wines, challenging participants to guess the wines of Castellina. During the event, a troupe of Japanese journalists from the lifestyle magazine Crea Traveller explored the village, visiting Castellina’s artisan workshops and the historical and cultural beauties of this delightful Tuscan village.
Associazione Viticoltori di Castellina in Chianti turns 20
Associazione Viticoltori di Castellina in Chianti turns 20 and has chosen Milan as the second stop on a tour to tell the story of this wonderful Chianti Classico territory. Presenting the most unusual, fascinating and curious face of this municipality, which concentrates among the most prestigious winemaking realities of the whole of Tuscany, is a great wine professional, Armando Castagno, who has collected the interviews of 37 producers in the book ‘Castellina in Chianti – territorio, vino, persone‘ (Castellina in Chianti – territory, wine, people) presented on Wednesday 29 March at the DADA restaurant in Taverna. Explaining the project were Enrico Pozzesi, President of the Associazione Viticoltori di Castellina in Chianti, and Armando Castagno himself, interviewed by wine expert Alessandro Franceschini. After the presentation, 37 producers from Castellina in Chianti served their Chianti Classico wines for tasting to the numerous journalists and sector operators who attended the event. Next stop on the tour of the Associazione Viticoltori di Castellina in Chianti will be Florence.
ZEDCOMM ON FIRE A VINITALY 2023! IThe agency’s Wine team attended the most important event dedicated to the sector
From 2 to 5 April, Verona hosted the 55th edition of the International Wine and Spirits Exhibition. The Exhibition – after years of being cancelled and alternative versions due to restrictions during and after Covid – made a successful comeback, confirming itself as an increasingly business-oriented event among operators in the sector. The 2023 edition closed with a total attendance of 93 thousand, of which almost 30 thousand foreigners. For Zedcomm, too, it was a major opportunity to meet with customers – more than a dozen of them – and with the trade and non-sector press.

A challenging and meaningful communication experience that allows the agency to strengthen relations with the press present and to intercept new trends in the field, an event based on teamwork, made up of shared agendas, but above all of empathy, collaboration, smiles and pedometers went haywire!
