TerroirVino 2012

The meeting between wine, people and the web, Eighth Edition


Presentation

Terroir Vino was born from an idea of the editorial staff of TigullioVino.it, a reference point for food and wine information on the web in Italy since April 2000. The event consists in the presentation to the specialized press, operators and site readers, of the best selection of producers and wines identified over the years through the work of its two tasting commissions. In particular, among all the wines tasted, the selection made rewards the producers and the wines that, in addition to the high quality level and the excellent quality / price ratio, have also managed to convey a strong emotion, respect for the grape variety and / or the territory of origin. Not only and not necessarily "fashion wines" or "top wines" therefore, but wines that deserve attention for their quality, originality and usability.

After the first three successful editions held in some of the most beautiful locations of the Ligurian Riviera and after the successful passage to Palazzo Ducale, one of the most prestigious historic buildings in the city, from the Sixth Edition the meeting moved to the beating heart of Genoa, the Porto Antico in the congress center of the Cotton Warehouses. To the "claim" of the event - The meeting between wine, people and the web - which underlines the current and constant need for discussion between producers, operators, the public and independent information of which we ourselves are active protagonists, yes alongside the title "Terroir Vino", which aims to emphasize the link between wine-growing territories on a ground of comparison and common dialogue.

The companies that are part of the quality group to which participation in the meeting is proposed, represent the best of what has been tasted by our tasting commissions from 2000 to today. In addition to the new exhibitors who are added to the roster each year, the commissions also verify the qualitative conditions for the eventual reconfirmation at the meeting of the companies already awarded in a previous edition. The reconfirmed wineries receive, from year to year, an acknowledgment for their qualitative consistency, while the new wineries are rewarded with an Excellence or Quality / Price Mention, with the wine that made them worthy of entry into the absolute quality and / or price-quality of TigullioVino.it.
