WINE AWARD INTERNATIONAL publishes Winter Ranking 2023

For the 3rd time since the launch of the thematically open award, the WINE SYSTEM jury tasted the WINE AWARD INTERNATIONAL at the beginning of March. It is the first in the annual program and it is highly rated by the PAR® Certified Master Jury. The reason: the oenological diversity. Traditional craftsmanship, modern winemaking and experimental wines, rare grape varieties, diverse origins - everything is there and thanks to PAR® the team is methodically well equipped. A look at the 13 Grand Gold wines gives an idea of the range. They come from 7 countries in the most diverse climatic zones and show that quality is anything but uniform: from natural red wines from Sweden to traditional Vin Santo from Italy to modern 99-point white wines from Portugal aged reductively in steel tanks. In additional, 111 wines were awarded gold, 125 silver and 34 bronze.

Italy's winemakers achieve 4 times Grand Gold, 34 times Gold, 36 times Silver and 10 Bronze
