The world's finest wines will be competing for the prestigious WineHunter Award at this year's Merano WineFestival (9-11 November), South Tyrol. The event, launched in 1992 by Helmuth Kocher, known as the WineHunter, is a showplace for Italian wines and includes the sections Vino in Vulcano (wines from territory of volcanic origin), traditional niche wines Vino in Anfora, produced and aged according to time-honoured tradition, New Entries and Old Vintage Collections with wines aged at least ten years. This year's edition sees the participation of 83 international vintners as well as the prestigious French l'Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux. The Merano Festival also pays homage to the great renaissance genius Leonardo da Vinci. To mark the quincentenary of his death, a section will be dedicated to Leonardo's well-known passion for the arts of enology.
