The grapes were vinified in the cellars of the impressive castle of the estate. In 1990 a new cellar, following an avant guarde project, was built in Cascina Pradvaj, the present headquarters. An artificial hill was made over the cellar in order to keep the temperature inside even. The estate is now managed by Costanza Carrega Malabaila, wife of Corradino after he passed away two years ago, and her daughter Lucrezia together with Valerio Falletti whose father also worked at Malabaila. Bear in mind that Lucrezia is the 65th generation of the family! Low environmental impact viticulture is followed in the 22 hectares of vineyard, the soil of which is typical of the Roero, sandy-marly with many fossils. Clones of Arneis, Nebbiolo and Barbera are multiplied in an old vineyard. Great attention is given to tradition, but Lucrezia and Valerio do not want this to be a limitation: the vinification cellar is extremely modern and the wines rest in French oak barriques, tonneaux and casks. The total production is 100,000 bottles and the range consists in Roero DOCG, Roero Arneis DOCG (also in a “passito version”), Barbera d’Alba DOC, Nebbiolo d’Al- ba DOC and Birbèt (a biotype of Brachetto typical of the Roero, birbante meaning “naughty” in Italian) a slightly sparkling and sweet wine. The estate ha recently released two refined Piemonte Spumante Metodo Classico DOC: one a blend of Arneis and of Nebbiolo, the other a rosato (100% Nebbiolo). All the wines are extremely elegant, the Roero with pleasant cherry, rose and violet notes, the Roero Arneis delicate and complex. Birbét and Cardunaj (a single vineyard wine), both made with Brachetto grapes, one sweet the other dry, complete the range.

2019 Roero Arneis Docg
One of the legendary winemakers of the world, Bruno Giacosa crafted the most prestigious single-vineyard Barolo and Barbaresco wines during a career that spanned nearly eight decades. He joined the family business at the age of 15, representing the third generation of his Langhe winemaking family. Giacosa’s unfailing pursuit of perfection, his unrivaled palate and his intimate knowledge of vineyards in the Langhe quickly drew recognition and helped establish Piedmont as a leading wine region. In 1980, Giacosa began to acquire prime parcels in Serralunga d’Alba, La Morra and Barbaresco to produce wines that are rightly regarded as the finest expressions of Nebbiolo. His legacy rests with daughter Bruna, who continues to uphold her father’s winemaking philosophy to respect traditional techniques while using the best of modern technology. The goal is for each distinguished site to produce articulate, unique wines. 2019 ROERO ARNEIS DOCG Grape variety: Arneis Vineyards: Select vineyards in the villages of Vezza d’Alba, Monteu Roero, Santo Stefano Roero, Canale, Montà d’Alba Age of vines: 19-26 years Yield: 70 hL/ha Vinification: Stainless steel vats Length of fermentation: 25-30 days Malolactic fermentation: not developed Refinement: 4 months in stainless steel vats + 1 month in bottle Bottling: February 2020 Alcohol: 13.5% vol.

SUGGESTIONS for POSSIBLE SHORT TRIPS to Get An
SUGGESTIONS FOR POSSIBLE SHORT TRIPS To get an introduction about the area near the conference: Why You Really Should Visit Italy's Outstanding Barolo Wine Region https://www.forbes.com/sites/catherinesabino/2018/10/28/why-you-really-should-visit-italys- outstanding-barolo-wine-region/#7bd3de632f89 Note that the Langa district is best visited by car. Because of its territory, the district is not accessible by train (except for Alba, which is connected to the railway system). However, driving in the Langa district should not be a problem since it is in the countryside and not in a big city. For reference, Bra and Alba have ~30,000 people each. Some of the villages referenced below are much smaller: Pollenzo (a subdivision of Bra) and Barolo have only ~700 people. Furthermore, besides the picturesque hills and the historic castles and buildings, this area is also about food and wine. So you can pair some of the suggestions below with the restaurant suggestions also available on the conference website. There are also several wine tours that are normally organized in the area and, besides the suggestions below, you can just search online for what suits your interest. 1) Tour of the Barolo Langa district: Barolo, La Morra, and Verduno Note: Requires a car. Also, distances are short and so one can break these itineraries into smaller ones as desired. Barolo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barolo,_Piedmont) is the town in the middle of the vineyards of nebbiolo grapes that produce the famous wine of the same name. It is a medieval village developed at the foot of the castle.

GP Turin 2018 Travel Guide
“Torino is not a place you can leave behind” - Friedrich Nietsche 1 A brief history Torino was founded as a roman settlement, under the name of Augusta Taurinorum (“Taurinus” means bull-like and that was the name given by the romans to the local ancient tribes, because of their height and strength). After having been mostly anonymous through the middle age, it became the capital of the Savoy dukedom in 1563, under duke Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy. The dukedom of Savoy became a kingdom in 1713, and starting from 1848 the Royal family and the government began, through wars and smart political alliances, the process of reunification of Italy (known now as Risorgimento - resurgence). This led Torino to become the first capital of Italy in 1861. During the 20th century the city become a center of excellence for the automotive industry, but after hosting the Winter Olympics in 2006, Torino is seeing its popularity rising again as a worthy touristic destination, thanks to its beautiful baroque city center, its vibrant cultural life and its wine and food traditions. Getting to the City Torino Airport: Torino is served by the Sandro Pertini international airport. Although small, the airport offers multiple daily connections to most of the big European hubs, including Frankfurt, Munich, Madrid, Amsterdam and Paris (be careful if you’re flying through London: there are connections to Gatwick and Stanstedt, not Heathrow). The airport is also served by low-cost company Ryanair, which offers connections to Barcelona, Bruxelles-Charleroi, London Stanstedt, Malta, Ibiza, Valencia and Dublin. The airport is connected to the city center by bus.

Its hills are recognizable from a distance for the typical shape of their slopes interrupted by huge ravines that can be also 200 m deep. This vertical sections are called “Ròche”. On this hills it grows one of the world-wide best species of vine, the Nebbiolo, from which the wine Roero has its origin. It can compete with more blazoned piedmon- tese wines, like Barolo and Barbaresco, thanks to the chemical composition of the ground. In the zone La Bòssořa the exposition of the vineyards is south so as to reach the perfect ripening of the grapes in the advanced au-tumn (around the second half of October). The alcoholic fermentation and maceration are slow to assure the extraction of com-pounds necessary for its refinement into barriques where it stays for about 24 months. The Roero Riserva“Ròche dřa Bòssořa” has a ruby red colour with garnet hues and a graceful, various and charming perfume; it has a full and well supported by the poliphenolic structure taste and it can resist a long period in the bottle.

The remaining wine could then go back in my cellar, so that I could enjoy it again, whenever I desired. What followed was a decade of development and testing until I had a system that left the cork in place, but still delivered great glasses of wine, indistinguishable from untouched bottles.” Greg Lambrecht, Coravin Founder Using the Coravin system we offer some of our best wines by the glass.
