Astonishing location, audience participation, elegance and satisfaction for the important event that celebrates the world of the wine stars with dance, music, theatre, wine and cuisine of Chef Gianfranco Vissani.
"This is a different evening - Franco Maria Ricci, director of Bibenda and creator of "Oscar del Vino" (this year in its edition no.15) says - not only because the best wines of Italy are rewarded, but also because people of wine are rewarded: the 2013 edition has the taste of victory as we have fully regained the title of the event, winning a long legal battle with the Academy of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles which, according to the decision of the Judges of the Court of Appeal of Rome, can not prohibit the Italian Association of Sommelier of Rome and Bibenda to use the brand Oscar del Vino".
In occasion any of Oscar del Vino 2013, as many as 200 guests in tuxedos and evening gown enjoyed the evening at the prestigious Hotel Cavalieri in Rome. Many VIPs were present: former ministers, journalists and drivers in Formula One, managers of large companies: Vittorio Grilli, Paola Severino, producer-driver Jarno Trulli, Marcello Masi. But the true stars of the evening were "the best producers and many people in the world of wine".
Here are some words to frame the importance of an event like Oscar del Vino: "Wine is one of the excellences of Made in Italy, a successful sector that deserves a worldwide achievement, mainly thanks to the many men and women who are not only able to produce many wonderful wines in our country, but also to tell nice and important stories of companies", and also recalled how " wine has not a great success on TV because it is still perceived as a niche product ... but do not get discouraged, and continue to believe in the communication to well-aware drinking and education to wine", these are the words of Bruno Vespa, interviewed by the hosts of the evening Franco Ricci and Federico Quaranta
On the site of Bibenda it is declared that at Oscar del Vino 2013 "the popular spirit of the awards is confirmed, which are exclusively linked to the vote of the many readers of BIBENDA, the Guide to the Wines and the best Italian Restaurants, BIBENDA 7 and the website www. bibenda.it, who have chosen online the winners of the Oscar, attracting the attention of the media and of the most important national newscasts. Another success in the communication about quality wine marked Oscar del Vino and BIBENDA. "
