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.

Longevi, Corposi, Capaci La Strada È Questa
I GRANDI BIANCHI DA INVECCHIAMENTO Longevi, corposi, capaci La strada è questa Tutto cominciò in Frinii Venezia Giulia grazie alla spinta emotiva di alcuni produtto- ri interessati al recupero di qualità > La prima svolta tecnica fu l'uso dei fermentini di acciaio inox > Negli anni Sessanta il bianco spopolava, magli italiani chiedevano vini giovani e un po' vivaci > II Vintage Tunina di Jermannfu il primo ad andare contro- corrente > Oggi questo mercato conta oltre 600 etichette e nessun altro Paese al mondo o può vantare una varietà così ampia come la nostra CESARE PILLON Fu mezzo secolo fa, in Friuli, che per il vino bianco italiano scoccò la scintilla della rivolu- zione: una rivoluzione che l'avrebbe avviato sulla strada dell'eccellenza. Quella svolta era solo un primo passo, ma fece scalpore: mise fuori gioco i bianchi carichi di colore, alti di gradazione, piatti e senza fascino, e li sostituì con vini più moderni, color paglierino tenue, dai profumi fre- schi e fruttati, di facile digeribilità e dal gusto più vivace, pieno di verve. Che cos'era successo? Mario Schiopetto, uno dei padri del moderno vino friulano insieme a Livio e Marco Fellu- ga, rievocando anni dopo le motivazioni di quel rivolgimento, spiegò d'aver preso l'iniziativa spinto dal desiderio di recuperare la qualità dei vini del passato, trascinata verso il basso dal processo d'industrializzazione della regione: «I vigneti erano stati spopolati dal reclutamento di mano d'opera nelle fabbriche di sedie e di mobili sorte nell'Udinese», spiegò, «e i pochi vi- gnaioli rimasti, pilotati dalle industrie vinicole, chepagavano le uve secondo i gradi alcolici che ne avrebbero ricavato, coltivavano soltanto le varietà più remunerative, da cui si traevano vini ad alta gradazione, completamente deserti di qualità organolettiche». -

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. -
