Roddi is going to host the great tasting event to celebrate the “King of wines” with the producers of Strada del Barolo e grandi vini di Langa.

Saturday May 26^th 2018 the traditional spring appointment of Strada del Barolo returns with a renewed programme. Stars of the event will be Barolo and its producers. The “King of wines” will be presented to the domestic and international public with a walking tasting in the historical centre of Roddi, gateway to the Barolo Langa and a few kilometres far from Alba.

From 17.00 to 23.00 thirty producers will meet the enthusiast of Barolo and the landscapes of Langhe, declared World Heritage, in a “widespread” tasting which will tour the participants in a journey to discover the “King of Wines”, along the streets and the little squares of the concentric medieval structure of Roddi, from Piazza Umberto I up to the belvedere, at the foot of the Castle.

An appointment that has been repeated for six editions, for this 2018 this event will propose a programme renewed both for its form and its contents, with more space to the one and only protagonist, Barolo, which every producers will present in its many facets by proposing different crus and vintages to taste.

As usual, alongside the main event, there will be several initiatives for those who wish to better discover Barolo and the great wines of Langhe, thanks to the guidance of an expert. In fact, with the Food&Wine Experiences, it will be possible to try gourmet pairings thanks to a selection of Piedmontese wines and some top quality food products (maximum 30 places available in Italian and 14 in English), while in the Wine Tasting Experiences® 4.0 the public will be led by Sandro Minella to discover the wines through their personal sensorial perceptions. The latter will be an interactive game where participants will be able to evaluate the different parameters of the tasted wines and discover the sensorial profile of each wine using a smartphone.

During the entire evening, there will be a selection of traditional dishes prepared by Accademia FoodLab, with the products of members of Strada del Barolo. Buying the single products will also be possible.

The event is organised with the support of Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio of Cuneo, under the patronage of Associazione per il Patrimonio dei Paesaggi Vitivinicoli di Langhe-Roero e Monferrato, thanks to the cooperation with Municipality and Pro Loco of Roddi, Barolo&Castles Foundation and Turismo in Langa.
