Denominación de Origen Almansa has once again been successfully present at a new edition of the Barcelona Wine Week, the wine fair of reference in Spain. During the 5th, 6th and 7th of February, our Denominación de Origen Almansa was able to present its wines, the value of our native variety, the Garnacha Tintorera, as well as the characteristics of our production area. This edition, which has had a record 21,000 visitors, has become an excellent focus for the wine of our DO Almansa to generate new business opportunities.
Barcelona Wine Week, an event that in just four years has managed to position itself as the most important reference show for Spanish quality wines, as it has enjoyed a successful participation, bringing together a multitude of events, conferences, lectures and has brought together a total of 952 attending wineries, 73 designations of origin, 12,000 business meetings, large national buyers and more than 600 importers from countries such as the USA, UK, China and Germany.
We received the visit of the Minister of Agriculture
During the inaugural tour, the Spanish Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Luis Planas, and the Regional Minister of Climate Action, Food and Rural Agenda, David Mascort i Subiranas, visited the stand of DO Almansa. During this meeting, the president of DO Almansa, Adolfo Cano, presented our unique variety, Garnacha Tintorera, highlighting the characteristics and singularities of our territory.
Excellent evaluation of the fair
Adolfo Cano, president of DO Almansa, valued the importance of being back at this fair ‘which is already an international benchmark and which helps us to continue promoting our wines and the value of our Garnacha Tintorera in Spain and to all international visitors’. In addition, and as in previous years, Barcelona Wine Week has also served ‘as a great opportunity for DO Almansa wineries, which have been able to make contact with importers and professionals from the major global wine markets’.
