Join Lorenzo Ruggeri, Managing Director of Gambero Rosso, for an exclusive masterclass featuring six extraordinary wines from the VINI RARI project — bottles so rare that some exist in fewer than 500 units per year.
An unmissable journey into the most hidden, authentic and innovative side of Italian wine. At Wine Paris 2026, a curated selection of wines awarded the coveted Vini Rari distinction by the panel of Vini d’Italia, one of the world’s most respected wine guides, will take center stage in this special tasting.
At the core of the experience is a handpicked preview from the 50 VINI RARI 2026: micro-productions born from bold, unconventional choices — ancient vineyards rescued from oblivion, remote micro-plots cultivated under extreme conditions, and long-aged bottles shaped by patience and vision. More than a tasting, VINI RARI is a journey through courage, creativity and terroir.
Some winemakers revive forgotten traditions with a contemporary voice; others venture far beyond their usual style, embracing experimentation and risk to capture the purest expression of their land.
This masterclass offers trade professionals and international wine media a unique opportunity to discover Italy’s most intimate, artisanal and forward-thinking wines — guided by the insight and storytelling of Lorenzo Ruggeri, one of Italy’s most acclaimed wine tasters since 2010.
