The Enoforum congress takes place in Italy every two years, in Spain and Portugal in alternate years.
Altogether, there are hundreds of reports on the latest scientific and technical innovations in the wine sector that are presented to approximately 2000 European experts in every two-year period.
The research projects presented at ENOFORUM, pre-selected by an international Scientific Committee, are evaluated by a vast panel of experts from the sector as to their usefulness in the daily work of production. The best projects receive the ASSOENOLOGI Giuseppe Versini Award, reserved for Italian authors, and the OENOPPIA Prize, open to researchers all over the world.
The ENOFORUM session at SIMEI will be presenting a summary of the best reports evaluated by the experts, hence, the most applicable scientific findings and the technological innovations of greater impact in production.
