The Permanent Representation of Italy to the International Organizations in Paris, in collaboration with the Sicilian Regional Institute of Wine and Oil (IRVO), organized the event “Women and Wine: Celebrating Success Stories”.
In the evocative setting of the Mairie of the 7th arrondissement, an audience of representatives of the Parisian multilateral scene, journalists and experts of the sector explored the growing role of women in the wine sector. IRVO, represented by the Commissioner Giuseppa Mistretta, presented its initiatives to promote innovation and quality in the Sicilian wine supply chain, also illustrating the project “100 Sicilies – Experiences of Good Life”. During the round table, a representative of the International Organization of Vine and Wine, a producer and a representative of the Association Le Donne del Vino also spoke.
Ambassador Luca Sabbatucci, in his speech, underlined how the wine sector represents an important asset for the Italian economy: “In 2023, Italy confirmed its global leadership in terms of exports, with 21 million hectoliters, for a total of 7.7 billion euros. A sector of great importance, which sees a growing female participation capable of providing essential elements, such as innovation, attention to sustainability, leadership and creativity”.
