Barolo and Friends


13/11/2012

First of al thanks to “Barolo and Friends” for the organisation of this event in Brussels to bring a number of Piemontese wine growers, the consortium, and some food producers to the center of gastronomy and wine lovers of Europe.

Thanks to the organisation we could taste in a master class under professional leadership of Dir Rodriguez from Vino magazine a number of wines from Piemonte from different DOCG and DOC regions, as there are wines “Methodo Classico” or sparkling wines, made in the same manor of the French Champagne and Spumante, wines from the region of Dogliani with the specialty of Dolcetto wines; Barbera wines from all over the region; and of course a number of Barolo and Barbaresco wines.
It really was a superb tasting with different types of wines in every aspect.

After this we ware free to visit the stands with their representatives or owners. 
Lucky for me I had prepared a number of wine houses I wanted to taste, but because there was no lunch I had to limit my visits for tasting, but I also received some advise of good wine houses from some friends.

In the month of May I will visit Piemonte with a number of wine houses I like to taste again and bring report later.
