The event was a perfect chance to foster relationships between our top-tier members and develop new professional relations.<\/p>\n

Igor Urra, our Secretary General, requested attention in order to thank all the attendees and to briefly introduce the speakers for the event. He announced\u00a0\u00d3scar Urrutia, Rioja & Prestige Wines Manager at Codorn\u00edu who, as a wine expert, engaged the audience with the history of Bodegas Bilba\u00ednas, the oldest bottler of wine in Spain and nowadays part of Codorn\u00edu Group. He took our guests through the evolution of the vineyards and milestones achieved since its foundation, highlighting how the winery has maintained the personal style that has given its flagship label, Vi\u00f1a Pomal, international presence.<\/p>\n
