Io, Barolo 2022

The great tasting event arrives for the first time in Castiglione Falletto to celebrate the “King of Wines” with the producers of Strada del Barolo

Saturday, September 3, 2022, the traditional appointment of the Strada del Barolo, now in its 9th edition, returns with Barolo and its producers as protagonists. The “King of Wines” presents itself to the national and international public in a touring tasting that, for the first time, will be held in the historic center of Castiglione Falletto, a characteristic hamlet surrounded by a landscape of vineyards and UNESCO heritage hills, in the heart of the Barolo production area.

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

You can access the event by purchasing a single pass at the cost of € 30.00, which will allow you to taste the wines of all the attending producers without limit 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 attending the event with a 10% discount on any purchases.

On the sidelines of the main event, there will also be two tasting areas, led by Chiara Giannotti of Vino.Tv and by the journalist Danilo Poggio, at the church of Sant’Anna, with the interventions of some producers who will talk about their experience and propose, for tasting, a wine particularly representative of their companies, not present in the main tasting. To participate there is an extra cost of € 10.00 per person on the entrance ticket.
