Berliner Wein Trophy 2018: IWB and Giordano Vini triumph at the 2018 edition

Italian Wine Brands wins the ‘Best Italian Producer 2018’ award. For Giordano Vini, the recognition of ‘Best Italian Online Wine Seller’.

Milan, 29 May 2018 – The Berliner Wein Trophy brings good luck to Italian wine. Once again this year, Italian Wine Brands (IWB), the first Italian wine group listed on the Stock Exchange that controls Giordano Vini and Provinco Italia, was awarded 31 gold medals and titles of absolute international prestige at the Berliner Wein Trophy, the most important competition in the German wine world that takes place twice a year under the patronage of the OIV (Organisation International de la Vigne et du Vin). In particular, Italian Wine Brands received the award for Best Italian Producer 2018, an award that recognises the attention paid to every phase of the winemaking process and every aspect of the work in the winery. Giordano Vini, on the other hand, was awarded Best Italian Online Wine Seller.

Alessandro Mutinelli, President and CEO of the IWB Group and Giordano Vini, says: ‘At Group level, we are proud of the award for Best Producer and of the progress made so far, always committed to offering quality wine and a timely and rewarding service to our customers and all wine lovers. Our success lies in having always been able to combine the tradition of a farming past with the ability to innovate and conquer new markets, thanks to dynamism and expertise; until we reached the top of Europe. I would like to point out that Giordano Vini was the first company, in the early 1900s, to have the great intuition to abandon the traditional sales channel to promote the sale of wines remotely and directly to the customer. With the acquisition of the Svinando brand, we will be able to grow and be even more competitive in this niche of e-commerce’.
