With the support of 
Wine Tasting Experience®: special events for the Truffle Fair
The guided tastings with Strada del Barolo come back in autumn with a series of special events: every weekend from Saturday October 11th to Sunday November 16th, in Alba.
Formed over the years into an appointment that cannot be missed for the hundreds of wine lovers who visit Langhe, the Wine Tasting Experiences®, original tasting format conceived by Strada del Barolo, will be included again in the official program of the International White Truffle Fair of Alba. Meetings will be held every Saturday (in English) and every Sunday (in Italian) from October 11th to November 16th in the “Cortile della Maddalena” into the “Workshop Room”, which will also host the study center for sensory analysis of the truffle: on the website www.winetastingexperience.it you can already make a reservation and purchase tickets.
Like the French Ecole Du Vin, the appointments will go beyond the traditional tastings that take place in one cellar. Here the wine lovers will have the opportunity to compare different labels of different producers during the same session.
Added value for the wine lovers will be given in the form of experts of the territory who will be present and able to reveal every secret of the wines and will be ready to satisfy any curiosity: the “teachers” are, in fact, producers, oenologists or sommeliers with great experience, each one with a personal point of view. They will discuss the value of the perfumes in a stem of wine, the pairings between wine and food as well as the characteristics of the wines in relation to the municipality where the vineyards are grown.
Questions from the public, in-depth moments and curiosities, suggestions for tasting, wines of producers that are always different and, not last, the prestigious locations where the tastings will take place: all these elements make the Wine Tasting Experiences® a new way to approach the discovery of wine, and they also represent a unique occasion to discover, in detail, the production of the Langhe and Roero region.
With special attention to the increasingly numerous foreign wine tourists, the Wine Tasting Experiences® are also held in English, the best way to satisfy the needs of the wine lovers from all over the world to discover every aspect of the wine growing and making of the area.
“The taste of the hills”, “The Crus of the King” and “Barolo&Barbaresco” are the topics that will alternate. “The taste of the territory” is an introductory journey among the most distinguished productions of Piedmont and includes the tasting of 4 different wines among Arneis, Dolcetto, Barbera, Nebbiolo, Barolo and Moscato; “The Crus of the King” is a journey punctuated by the tasting of 3 different Barolo labels; while “Barolo&Barbaresco”, the season’s novelty, will propose the comparison between the two great wines of Langhe, with the tasting of 3 different labels.
In order to make the Wine Tasting Experiences® more experiential and directly involve the participants, the teachers will use a supporting video, rich in infographics and interactive maps, which the participants will have the opportunity to use on their mobile phones and tablets during the tastings. Moreover, access to the content will also be available the day after the Wine Tasting Experience®.
In addition to the scheduled appointments, it is always possible to organize a tailored Wine Tasting Experience® exclusively for groups of at least six people, who will be able to decide, together with the organizers, the date, time location, languages (besides Italian, English, French and German are also available) and of course the choice of the selection of wines to taste!
