Here the comment made by Lorenzo Olivero, president of the association: «We are all extremely satisfied and so are the producers, which is what counts more. In fact, they appreciated the new structure of the event: for the first time they could directly interact with the public in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. As a producers myself, I could notice the presence of a very skilled and really interested public. Moreover, many of those who attended the previous edition, confirmed they liked the new structure of the event too».

The director Daniele Manzone added: «What mainly identify Io, Barolo is its innovative spirit: even if it is a top class event, Barolo is celebrated in a friendly way that is open to everybody…. Not like those boring presentations that only experts of the sector are able to understand. In particular, I am really satisfied for what concerns the side events (Barolo Orienteering organized by Wine Zone and the two Wine Tasting Experiences® matched with the raw ham of Cuneo), because they fully express our capability of storytelling on wine, involving and enchanting all the participants».
