One year after its English-language debut, Slow Wine, the guide to Italian wineries approved as good, clean and fair by Slow Food Italy is premiering a new and updated edition. To celebrate the launch, Slow Wine is organizing walk-around tasting events inNew York City, Miami and San Francisco exclusively for trade and press.

In San Francisco, the walk around tasting will feature over 55 selected producers with 15 Italian regions represented. “With Slow Wine we have changed the way of reviewing wine,” comments Marco Bolasco, CEO of Slow Food Editore.

Three symbols are used in the guide to evaluate each winery:

• The Snail, the Slow Food symbol, signals a cellar that has distinguished itself through its interpretation of sensorial, territorial, environmental and personal values in harmony with the Slow Food philosophy.
• The Bottle, allocated to cellars that show a consistently high quality throughout their range of wines.
• The Coin, an indicator of great value.

Exclusively for members of the trade and press. For more information or to rsvp, please email info@pleasethepalate.com
