The initiative will be hosted in the scenic Cloister of Magnolia at Fondazione Stelline located in an ancient monastery of the fifteenth century, now used as a multifunctional space.

Thursday, May 26, 2022, from 17.00 to 22.00 the inner corridors of the cloister will become an ideal route through the Langhe and the Tortonesi Hills where the Milanese wine lovers will have the opportunity to taste different labels of Barolo DOCG and Timorasso Derthona Doc. Twenty producers will personally present the multiple facets of these wines, offering different cru and vintages to taste.

The tastings will be paired with live music and excellent agri-food products presented by companies associated with Strada del Barolo and Terre Derthona and by I Barolisti, a winery with restaurant in the heart of Milan, which boasts a selection of over a hundred labels and offers menus with typical Langa dishes.

The public will have access to the garden overlooking the cloister: the perfect place enjoy food and wine and chill outdoor in a unique and charming location equipped with chairs and tables.

During the event there will also be interesting opportunities for further study: two tasting moments, at 18.00 and 19.15, led by Danilo Poggio, journalist, and Chiara Giannotti of Vino TV, writer. Some producers will also join these meetings, talk about their experience and propose, for tasting, a particularly representative wine of their companies not included among those displayed on the tasting desks set up in the cloister.

The cost of the entrance ticket is € 40.00 per person and includes unlimited tastings, in addition to the glass of Strada del Barolo and the cup holder. To access the tasting lounge there is an extra cost of € 5.00 per person on the entrance ticket.

24 April and 7 May 2022: tour in the Barolo vineyards to discover some of the most famous cru from which the “King of Wines” originates

On the occasion of Vinum, the National Wine Fair of Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, held in Alba from 23 April to 8 May 2022, the Strada del Barolo organizes two tours in the Barolo vineyards, to discover the excellence and prestige of some of the most famous “MGA“, Menzioni Geografiche Aggiuntive, in English Additional Geographical Indications, often known as “cru”, from which the “King of Wines” originates. A journey through some of the main production areas of Barolo, dedicated to passionate wine lovers interested in knowing the factors that determine the character and the infinite facets that Barolo can take.

Purpose of the tour

The geological composition of the soil, the exposure, the slope and the altitude combine with the human factor and contribute to determine the character of this great wine: these factors can be summarized with the term “cru”, a word borrowed from the French, which indicates the portion of a vineyard with peculiar characteristics, a unique microclimate and – inevitable and decisive – the work of man. A magical microcosm capable of making each wine unique.

The purpose of the tour is to make this concept understood in a simple and “experiential” way, through a circular path, with a visit to three Barolo vineyards, accompanied by a professional sommelier, to learn about the peculiarities of soil, climate and human work that have determined the characteristics that will be found in the glass. The visit will end with the tasting of the three Barolo wines of which the vineyards were visited, explained by the sommelier and paired with cheeses and cured meats, at the winery of one of the producers involved.

Programme

The tours will be held on Sunday 24 April and Saturday 7 May, with departure at 9.30 from the stands of Vinum, in Piazza Medford 3 in Alba (CN), and return around 14.00. The groups will then move with a 30-seater minibus and will be accompanied by Emanuel Mattea, sommelier and AIS taster, a Nebbiolo lover, and professor of the Wine Tasting Experiences® of the Strada del Barolo.

Sunday 24 April:

• Boroli, Castiglione Castiglione Falletto (CN): visit to the vineyard “Brunella“
• Fratelli Serio & Battista Borgogno, Barolo (CN): visit to the vineyard “Cannubi“
• Monchiero F.lli, Castiglione Castiglione Falletto (CN): visit to the vineyard “Rocche di Castiglione” and tasting of the three Barolo wines of which the vineyards were visited

Cost and purchase of online tickets

The tour will be in Italian, with the possibility of translation into English.
The cost of the ticket is € 40.00 per person and includes the guided tour by minivan and the tasting of 3 glasses of Barolo and a mixed platter of cold cuts and cheeses.

The tastings will be accompanied by excellent agri-food products from the Piedmont area.

Both evenings will be preceded by a tasting-salon led by the sommelier Sandro Minella and the journalist Danilo Poggio: “The women of Barolo: from Giulia Colbert to today’s female producers”, with the interventions of some producers who will tell their experience and propose in tasting a wine particularly representative of their companies, not present in the room during the tasting.

The cost of the entrance ticket is € 40.00 per person and includes unlimited tastings, in addition to the glass of Strada del Barolo and the cup holder. To participate in the tasting-salon there is an extra cost of € 5.00 per person on the entrance ticket.

From 9^th October to 5^th December 2021 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-first edition, proposes an eight-week program of events and initiatives in full respect of health protocols for the protection of exhibitors and visitors.

The Wine Tasting Experience® will be held every Saturday (in English) and every Sunday (in Italian) from 9^th October to 5^th December 2021 in the Workshop 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 15 people to ensure the necessary distance between the participants.

“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 26,00 € 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.
