Italian Wine will have a new representative in 2021
Italian wine will have a new home in 2021. The city of Barolo, in the province of Cuneo, in Piedmont, was chosen as the “Città del Vino from 2021".
Promoted by Ministry of Agricultural Policies, from the Italian government, the award aims to enhance Italian cities with vineyards.
Barolo received the coveted title of “Wine City of 2021” by beating six other cities: Bianco (Reggio Calabria), Duino Aurisina (Trieste), Montepulciano (Siena), Montespertoli (Florence), Taurasi (Avellino) and Tollo (Chieti) .
After all, in Italy, wine is a very serious matter and there are many companies and lands dedicated to the production of extraordinary, high-quality products. And the city of Barolo fits very well into this scenario.
Tradition in good Italian wine
The city in the province of Cuneo, in fact, although it does not have 700 residents, is an example of great attachment to the land and traditions.
It is there, in the middle of the Langhe mountain range (declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO in 2014), the namesake and precious red wine was born, which over time was also recognized as a Controlled and Guaranteed Denomination of Origin (DOCG)
Events calendar
To become the Italian wine capital of 2021, Barolo presented a rich and elaborate calendar of events, full of exhibitions, courses and seminars, which can be admired throughout 2021.
In short, another starting point for visiting this charming Piedmontese city.
Get ready to take a walk along the “Strada del Barolo” through the vineyards and cellars, discover the history of Barolo wine in the local museum or admire 500 different types of corkscrews in the eponymous and curious museum dedicated to the city.
Not just culture and good drinks: Barolo can also be discovered in the city center, among ancient and quirky churches, such as the colorful Brunate Chapel.
