In recent days, the meeting of the Technical Committee kicked off the last month of preparation, performing the complicated and challenging task of assessing the 20 samples of Barolo 2010 chosen for the occasion and to identify the most representative for the “Official Selection”.

President of the Enoteca Regionale del Barolo, Federico Scarzello, says: “As always, the work of our engineers and experienced tasters was invaluable. Thanks Giovanni Bressano therefore, Gianluca Colombo, Armando Cordero, Luca Faccenda, Giancarlo Germano, Lorenzo Tablino and Gianluca Viberti (in alphabetical order), with the usual skill because they have done a good job given the extraordinary quality of the wines. This was the first meeting after the election of the Board of Directors in November last year, and for the occasion we have added some new skills that have interacted very positively and have helped to confirm the central role of the Technical Committee not only in the choice of the Official Selection , but also in the tasting admission and quality control that are the basis of each Regional Wine.”

Archived choice of Barolo Institutional , we proceed now to the definition of the label art that will dress up the bottle. After artists like Beverly Pepper , Park Eun Sun , Mikhail Shemyakin , Kyoji Nagatani and Joe Tilson , Ezio Gribaudo from Turin will be to enhance his creativity with the image of the last year on the market and judging by the proofs viewed until now the result will be decidedly delicate and evocative at the same time.

After 2010 World Champion Sommelier Luca Gardini, the Italian wine writer and wine critic of national and international appeal Ian D’Agata and the Queen of the Master of Wine Jancis Robinson, for this edition Barolo still exudes an international climate and honored to dedicate his new vintage to Monica Larner , a journalist of high expertise that has made its way in the wine industry as a correspondent for the well-known U.S. magazine Wine Enthusiast, and last year was selected by Robert Parker as a correspondent for the Italian magazine “The Wine Advocate”.

In addition, the week of the presentation will be a showcase for our new rooms, which we thought to make it more functional and attractive to be able to accommodate more and more events like the great horizontal tasting of Barolo 2010, but also to have a cool and young place where Barolo is still and always the center of attention.”
