The wines tasted at the Show were of decent quality and offered good
price-quantity ratio.
Commenting at the IFE-India Show, said their business development manager,
Maurizio Tirinti, ‘There are factors which will enable us to be
at the forefront of the wine market and to spread the wine culture in
India over its increasing number of consumers every year. Our wines have
a good quality-price-image ratio; our quality id superior due to limited
yields, compared to other vine-growing areas. Our vines are grown exclusively
on hilly sites and we use modern technology.’

‘One positive feature of our wines is a very good Price-quality
ratio. For instance, Molinelli Gutturnio Monte Po and Malvasia Vigna Canne
are fine examples of quality still and sparkling wines and yet they would
cost under €4 to the distributors. With your high taxes in India,
these wines offer the best of both worlds,’ he added.
Both Molinelli and Torricelle produce a wide product range based on D.O.C.
wines. Their wines have won a slew of awards for their wines especially
for the late harvest Malvasia, Barbera, Gutturnio and Chardonnay.
