Vinitaly, a globally recognized benchmark for the wine industry and one of the leading wine and spirits trade fairs, hosted the Vinitaly India Road Show in New Delhi for the first time on 8th Sept at Hotel Taj Vivanta Dwarka. It was organised by Verona Fiere (Italy) in collaboration with Indian Chamber of Commerce.
Delhi Wine Club participated fully in this premier event and contributed wholeheartedly towards making it a huge success.
One of the main attractions of Vinitaly India Road Show was the Italian Wines Masterclass conducted by Alex Vasario for a discerning audience which included both the trade professionals from the Indian Wine Industry and the Delhi wine enthusiasts.
This professionally conducted session specially on Wines of Piemonte, Italy was both interactive and knowledgeable. The attendees who got to taste five excellent quality wines from this region expressed their views freely.
During the course of the session, Cavaliere Subhash Arora brought as to how the Barbaresco is more preferred by Indian wine consumers than the Barolo (which although comes with excellent quality and lineage, can be bit intimidating to the quintessential Indian palate).
The speaker also touched upon subtle (yet glaring to a wine student) differences between the Barbera from Alba vs Asti.
Overall it was an engrossing and an interesting Masterclass which was appreciated by all attendees.
Cheers !!
