VitignoItalia was founded in 2005 for the need to create for the south central Italy an exhibition of reference strongly characterized and with an high profile.The choice of Italian native grape vine, as a requirement characterization in the ìjungleî of oenological events, was successful: Attention from the critics, the media and consumers on the quality of Italian wine is increasingly evident.
Therefore now we face the challenge to global markets. VitignoItalia starts from here.
The aim is to revive the national and international market of the great Italian wine heritage: a wealth that has no equal in the world for numbers, history and quality.

We are a national exhibition, specialized and highly oriented to business.
