Salone del gusto, first positive outcome

First positive assessment of the Sicilian experience at the Salone del Gusto in Turin. Two intense days, of the five total, the event will close its doors on Monday 27 October, which were sold out. “We are satisfied – the extraordinary commissioner of IRVO, Nino Di Giacomo, enthusiastically comments – the Sicily pavilion was among the most visited and the tastings were very successful”.

Tastings guided by the oenologist Gianni Giardina of IRVO and each day dedicated to a different area of the island. Yesterday the area from Iblei to Etna, today that of the Madonie and the province of Trapani, tomorrow the areas of Caltanissetta, Enna and Agrigento will be the protagonists. Followed by the Nebrodi and the province of Palermo.

“Our intent – commented the manager responsible for the Development area of the regional tourism department, Lucia Fatta – is to implement tourist flows towards the island. Today we are doing it differently, provoking an emotion, the emotion of taste."
