A taste of Italy.
A taste of Italy.
More Than Grapes was proud to take part in the NRA Show in Chicago with its own stand, in collaboration with BolognaFiere, bringing a taste of Italy to one of the most important hospitality events of North America.
The booth was designed as a journey across the Italian peninsula, with each side dedicated to a different geographic area of the Bel Paese: Northern Wines, featuring part of our labels from Northern Italy; Central Wines, dedicated to wines from Central Italy; and Southern Wines, showcasing products from the South.
A fourth side was entirely dedicated to Italian liquors and premium mixology products, created for classic Italian serves such as Orange Spritz, Negroni, Classic Italian Spritz, Red Spritz and Margarita. The stand also featured Semedorato, the renowned Sicilian beer.
We presented the products, met industry professionals, welcomed visitors and friends, and shared conversations with everyone who stopped by our booth, whether for a tasting, a business exchange, or a quick Italian pit stop.
For More Than Grapes, the NRA Show was more than a showcase. It was an opportunity to bring Italian taste, territories and stories into direct conversation with the Global foodservice industry.

Throughout the evening, we had the opportunity to meet familiar faces, build new connections, and celebrate the achievements of a community united by a shared appreciation for Italian quality, heritage, and innovation.
For More Than Grapes, participating in the Gala was an opportunity to be part of a special moment for the Italian-American community and to celebrate the values that continue to bring Italy and the Midwest closer together.
