A night open to everybody, tourists and residents, with a particular attention to the youngest members of the public: this will be the soul of the new edition of “Io, Barolo”, which will take place in Roddi on the 1st June 2013, from 6:30pm to 12pm.

The event will be set in two areas: the garden of the castle, with a huge counter dedicated to the thematic tasting of the 2009 Barolo, and piazza Umberto I, the hearth of the feast, where public and producers will have the opportunity to taste the great wines of Langa together with traditional dishes created by the chefs of the Roddi restaurants.

With tickets bought at the entrance to the castle garden, the public will have the possibility to taste a great number of labels of the 2009 Barolo vintage with the producers and members of Strada del Barolo, with the prestigious service of the professional AIS sommeliers. All participants will receive both a stem glass with the logo of Strada del Barolo as a present to remember the evening, and a taste of the Castelmagno cheese offered by the producers of Alta Valle Grana to match to the wines. Moreover, they will receive a tour; a special guided visit, led by the touristic guides of the Association Turismo in Langa.

The feast involves the other great wines of Langa which, in Piazza Umberto I, at the feet of the castle, will be served, for the entire evening, and matched with dishes made with traditional products prepared thanks to the active cooperation with the Pro Loco, the tourist office, of Roddi in partnership with the Roddi restaurateurs. The “wine tellers” (Narratori del Vino®) will serve and present the wines, by explaining them with a new, innovative and young way to attract the public. The attending producers, this time, will be on the public side of the table but, if needed, will be available and ready to answer any questions. The public will also have the possibility to buy the single dishes matched with the great wines, by choosing between important red wines or fresh whites.

During the whole evening, music from a DJ set will surround the entire square.
