A concrete sign of attention to individual and collective responsibility, which completes the educational identity of the event.

Never as this year Vinum is an expression of a system that dialogues: 14 Protection consortia, record number for the event, will be present in the different areas of tasting in the heart of the city. They will be joined by the protagonists of enogastronomia, tourism, training and sustainability. Compared to the participants, the consolidated trend sees a qualified presence of foreigners (in particular from the USA, Switzerland, Holland, France, Australia and the UK on all), with a young audience (65% of the wine lovers participating in Vinum are between 18 and 35 years old): this is the sketch of the tourist present on the territory for the event.
