For the third consecutive year, from 15 to 17 November, the 14° Mercato dei Vini dei Vignaioli Indipendenti will return to the halls of BolognaFiere. A relationship with the capital and its economic and cultural fabric that is consolidated in 2025 thanks also to the partnership forged by the Italian Federation of Independent Winegrowers, which organises the event, with Biografilm, a film festival dedicated to life stories and quality cinema on air until 16 June.
The link with the city is strengthened
‘The 14° Mercato dei Vini dei Vignaioli Indipendenti ,’ said Gianpiero Calzolari, president of BolognaFiere, “is much more than a trade fair, representing an authentic moment of encounter between territories, people and cultures. BolognaFiere is proud to host for the third consecutive year this event that celebrates the quality, sustainability and value of independent agricultural supply chains. The increasingly close ties with the city, the collaboration with Biografilm, and the logistical innovations introduced to improve the visitor experience confirm our desire to further grow this event, which represents Italian excellence’.
Grapes and vineyards protagonists for the first time in the event’s poster
14° Mercato dei Vini dei Vignaioli Indipendenti (Independent Winegrowers’ Wine Market) is an appointment that has become the occasion to present the official poster of the 14th edition of the event, created by the Bolognese illustrator Sarah Mazzetti, who has put her talent at the disposal of the event thanks to the renewed collaboration with Corraini Edizioni.
For the illustration, the artist was inspired by the work revolving around grapes and vineyards, which had not featured in previous years’ posters. Together with these two unseen subjects, there are also animals in the vineyard. ‘In the poster, therefore, I wanted to represent the grapes surrounded by their “good” fauna: the hoopoe, the wryneck, the shrike and the butterflies,’ Mazzetti emphasised.
Winemakers expected from Italy and Europe
14° Mercato dei Vini dei Vignaioli Indipendenti https://mercatodeivini.it/ is preparing to welcome around 1,000 winegrowers from every region of Italy. Several delegations of European winegrowers representing national associations belonging to the Confédération Européenne des Vignerons Indépendants. At least 30 members of the Italian Federation of Independent Olive Growers, with which the alliance in the name of territorial and quality agricultural production is confirmed.
To host exhibitors and the public, BolognaFiere will provide more than 30,000 square metres of exhibition space, distributed over 4 pavilions: 29 and 30, while 28 and 26 will be dedicated to food and services related to the event.
Among the logistical novelties of the next edition, it is worth mentioning the opening of the Piazza Costituzione entrance in addition to the traditional North entrance.
