Drengot Scalillo acclaimed in Japan is awarded by the IWSC

Drengot has come back from Japan after Wonderfud’s B2B event held at ICE Italian Embassy in Tokyo between the 12^th and 14^th of June with some news from the land of the Rising Sun and not only.

During the event the Southern Italian winery has introduced Drengot Scalillo to the Japanese market, drawing the attention of great importers and receiving compliments from the esteemed sommelier Shigeru Hayashi.

Alberto Verde, founder of Drengot, has given a presentation of the company stressing the peculiarity of the autochthonous vine during the Tasting Masterclass led by Mr. Hayashi. Many restaurateurs, journalists and operators of the sector have taken part to the event.

Yoshimi Ban, one of the writers attending the Masterclass and who had the opportunity to taste Scalillo, has described the special Asprinio wine as “a really good wine with a really great taste, it reminds me of Champagne”.

At the same time of the event, Drengot Scalillo has obtained an award from the International Wine and Spirits Competition, one of the most important wine competitions in the world.

The Competition runs a structured and rigorous two-stage judging process, first the samples are tasted in pre-poured numbered glasses so that judges never see a bottle. The second phase consists in a chemical analysis of the selected products that pass the first judging process.

For the first Scalillo’s vintage on the market, the Bronze 2018 obtained has made Drengot proud and we  are happy to share this success with you, with the promise of keeping the bar raised and aiming higher to offer a unique and exclusive experience to fine palates.
