From 7^th October to 3^rd December 2023 the guided tastings of Strada del Barolo return during the Alba International White Truffle Fair: the best territory experts tell everything about the great wines of Langhe!

After having become a must see event for hundreds of wine lovers who visit Langhe, the Wine Tasting Experience®, original tasting event devised by Strada del Barolo, will become, as usual, part of the official programme of the Alba International White Truffle Fair, which, now in its ninety-second edition, proposes a nine-week program of events and initiatives.

The Wine Tasting Experience® will be held every Saturday (in English) and every Sunday (in Italian) from 7^th October to 3^rd December 2023 in the Mondi Room, Cortile della Maddalena. There will be two appointments for each day: at 3.30 p.m. and at 5.30 p.m. with a maximum of 24 people.

“The taste of the hills”, “The Crus of Barolo” and “The many faces of Nebbiolo” are the topics that will alternate during the entire fair. “The Taste of the Hills” is an introductory journey among the most peculiar productions of Piedmont, with the tasting of four different wines; “The Crus of Barolo” is a journey marked by the tasting of three different Barolo labels; while “The many faces of Nebbiolo” will compare Barolo, Barbaresco and Roero to explain the different expressions of the Nebbiolo vine variety.

The tastings will last about one hour and the tickets can be purchased in advance online on the website fieradeltartufo.org at a cost of 33.00 € per person, educational material and entrance at the “Alba White Truffle World Market” included.

The Wine Tasting Experience® format

Following the example of the French Ecole Du Vin, appointments go beyond the traditional tasting in a wine cellar, a typical stop for the wine tourists, especially for the opportunity to compare labels from different producers at one appointment. The tastings are guided by territory experts capable of explaining the secrets of the wines and satisfying any curiosity: the teachers are, in fact, producers, oenologists or skilled sommeliers, everyone with a personal point of view, with their opinions on the value of the perfumes in a stem glass, the pairings between food and wine, as well as the characteristics of the wines in relation to their terroir.

Questions from the audience, in-depth lessons, curiosity, tips on how to taste, wines of different producers: all these elements will make the Wine Tasting Experiences® a new way to approach the wine world, beside being a unique occasion to discover all the details of the wine production of the Langhe and Roero region. To make the Wine Tasting Experiences® more and more experiential and to directly involve the participants, the guides will use a video rich in infographics and interactive maps.

Saturday 9 September 2023: the great tasting event returns to the village of Castiglione Falletto to celebrate the “King of Wines” with the producers of Strada del Barolo

Io, Barolo turns 10 years old! Saturday 9 September 2023 the traditional appointment of Strada del Barolo, that has as its absolute protagonists the Barolo and its producers, reaches its tenth edition and returns to the historic center of Castiglione Falletto. Again, this year, the “King of Wines” presents itself to the national and international public in an itinerant tasting in the characteristic village of Langa, immersed in a landscape of vineyards and hills which are Unesco Heritage, in the heart of the Barolo production area.

From 16.00 to 21.30 over thirty producers will present different crus and vintages of Barolo and other wines of the territory in a “widespread” tasting, at the foot of the imposing eleventh century castle, among the most secret and fascinating spots of Langhe, which, with its massive structure dominates the medieval concentric hamlet of Castiglione Falletto.

You can access the event by purchasing a single pass at the cost of € 30.00 + €3.90** per person in online presale, or € 30.00 on site (subject to availability), which will allow you to taste the wines of all the attending producers without limits to the number of tastings. Each participant will receive a glass to take home as a souvenir of the evening and a coupon that will allow them to visit one of the wineries present at the event with a 10% discount on any purchases.

On the sidelines of the main event, there will also be two tasting-lounges led by sommelier Sandro Minella and journalist Danilo Poggio, at the little church of Sant’Anna, with the interventions of some producers who will talk about their experience and propose the tasting of a wine particularly representative of their companies, not included in the main tasting. To participate, there is an extra cost on the entrance ticket of €15.00 + €1.95** per person in online presale, or €18.00 on site (subject to availability).
