ABOUT THE FAIR
The SLOW WINE FAIR, held annually at BolognaFiere in Bologna since its inception in 2021, has become a central meeting point for the wine industry. The acronym "SLOW" represents sustainability throughout the entire wine supply chain, emphasizing the importance of environmentally conscious viticulture, innovative packaging, and responsible distribution.
At this fair, around 1,000 wineries from Italy and worldwide showcase their sustainably produced wines and spirits. A highlight is the Amaro section at the Italian Amaro Fair, which displays the diverse flavors of traditional Italian herbal liqueurs.
