Italy: Vinitaly & The City 2026 Features Pinot Grigio DOC Delle Venezie as Official Wine

Pinot Grigio DOC Delle Venezie has been named the Official Wine of Vinitaly & The City 2026, the off-show event of Italy’s major wine fair. The event, held in Verona’s historic centre from 10 to 12 April, brings together wine lovers, press, and industry professionals.

The partnership highlights the DOC Delle Venezie Consortium’s strategy of combining reputation, territory, and responsible promotion. The iconic white wine will open the event with an inaugural toast and feature in tastings and meetings at Loggia di Fra Giocondo and Piazza dei Signori.

Pinot Grigio DOC Delle Venezie is Italy’s leading still white wine for both domestic consumption and exports. The denomination covers Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia, and the Autonomous Province of Trento, with 27,000 hectares of vineyards, producing around 230 million bottles annually, supported by 6,141 grape growers, 575 wineries, and 371 bottling companies.

“This partnership strengthens the identity and international recognition of our denomination while reinforcing its link to the North-East of Italy,” said Luca Rigotti, President of the DOC Delle Venezie Consortium. Stefano Sequino, Director, added that the initiative allows visitors to discover the fresh, versatile style of Pinot Grigio DOC Delle Venezie and its role in contemporary Italian wine culture.

The DOC Delle Venezie Consortium will also participate in Vinitaly 2026 from 12 to 15 April at Hall 5 / F2, offering tastings and presenting the distinctive style of its wines to operators and stakeholders.
