Message from the Embassy of Argentina:
“In the year of the Bicentennial of Argentina’s Independence, the Embassy of the Argentine Republic is pleased to share its world-famous high quality wine, which has become one of the flagship products of the country. Over the course of five centuries, Argentina has developed an extraordinary wine industry. The altitude, the wide range of temperatures, the local know-how, the new technologies and a deeply-rooted popular wine culture lend Argentinean wines their unique identity and quality.”
Message from the Embassy of Italy:
“The Embassy of Italy is proud tonight to share with you some of its most renowned top-quality wines. As many already know, Italy is home to some of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world. Italian wines are known worldwide for their broad variety. Since time immemorial, Italy has developed an extraordinary wine production which has become an important industrial sector. We have currently more than one million vineyards under cultivation. In Italy wine means lifestyle, passion, history and innovation (as well as the best food to enjoy it with), while sitting down, surrounded by stunning landscapes.”
