Wine flowed at Del Borgo wine bar in Vittoriosa as Tony's Wine and Spirits launched a selection of exclusive Italian labels from the Toscana, Umbria, Gavi and Piemonte regions.

People from the wine industry, journalists and other personalities were entertained to a selection of cheeses from PJ Sutters complemented by wines, which included the Umbrian Greghetto, a full- bodied white, the Rosso di Montefalco and the Sagrentino di Montefalco from Planiarche.

Guests were also given the opportunity to taste wines from Carmigniano Tuscany, such as the Barco Reale, Carmigniano, and Carmigniano Riserva, as well as the Sant Antimo, Rosso Montalcino and Brunello di Montalcino from producers Fanti. A total of 16 wines were launched. They are all available at Del Borgo.

Commenting on the launch, Toni Grixti from Tony's Wine and Spirits said: "The idea behind the event is to make certain exclusive labels, which might not yet be well-known on the Maltese market, more easily available. The wines are produced by smaller wine-makers, so they can be considered as prodotti di artigianato."
