quote Wine Meridian: "Vinitaly si chiude tra sorrisi e sussurri"
For a number of years I already saw the prices rise without any justification, for example the quality or the expansion of their wine trades.
Maybe they start looking now at the price settings again and not to enrich themselves for the looks of their properties, the one more luxury than the others, all for the eyes of the visitors.
Even today, in all regions, they are starting to ask money for the visit and tasting. If they want us to write about them and there wines and ask for payment I don't enter, I never payed for a visit or tasting in Italy or France and wont do it in future also.
