Nine Georgian qvevri wine producers presented their products at the international natural wine exhibition Slow Wine Fair, held in Bologna, with financial and organisational support from the National Wine Agency of Georgia.
Slow Wine Fair, now held for the fifth time, brought together nearly 1,000 wine companies from around the world, the majority specialising in organic and biodynamic production. The exhibition traditionally attracts up to 20,000 visitors, including representatives of the HoReCa sector, distributors, and importers — making it a main platform for expanding business partnerships and increasing exports.
Georgian wineries participated in the fair for the second time, presenting traditional qvevri wines to an audience highly engaged with natural and sustainable winemaking practices.
The following producers represented Georgia at the exhibition:
- Andria’s Wine
- Velino
- Chortauli Vineyards
- Gotsa’s Wine
- Badagoni Winery 1933
- Kondoli Winery
- Sherma’s Family Winery
- Niabi Winery
Their presence at the fair strengthened the international positioning of qvevri wine, a traditional Georgian winemaking method recognised for its historical and cultural significance.
The exhibition was also attended by Natalia Kordzaia, Georgia’s Consul General in Milan, showing the importance of economic diplomacy in supporting Georgian wine exports and international visibility.
Promoting Georgian wine abroad remains one of the National Wine Agency’s core priorities. Through participation in major international exhibitions such as Slow Wine Fair, alongside ongoing advertising and marketing campaigns, the Agency seeks to increase global awareness, build sustainable trade relationships and ensure continued growth in Georgian wine exports.
