There is time until 9 June to register for the XX Müller Thurgau International Wine Competition and the XXXVI Müller Thurgau: Vino di Montagna review , organized by the Cembra Valley Exhibition Committee to enhance this representative vine of the territory through two important opportunities for meeting and discussion with the productions of other suitable areas, in Italy and abroad.

On Friday 23 June the commissions of judges will therefore be brought together, made up of technicians including sector journalists, sommeliers from the various reference associations and oenologists, to carry out the blind tastings in which each wine will be analyzed as a whole on the basis of the evaluation method of the 'Union Internationale des Oenologues.
The final result of each wine will be determined by the arithmetic mean of the individual judgements, after elimination of the highest and lowest score. The minimum score for the assignment of distinctions is 80/100 with the limit of 30% of the winners compared to the total wines in the competition but, to make the competition more challenging, additional rules have been introduced this year.
The Grand Gold Medal remains for scores equal to or greater than 90 cents , while the Gold Medals are recognized for scores between 85 and 89 cents but up to a maximum of 10% of the total wines in the competition , minus any Grand Medals of Gold. And so the Silver Medals, reserved for scores higher than 82 cents, cannot exceed 20% of the total wines in the competition, minus any Grand Gold Medals and Gold Medals, as well as the Bronze ones (for scores higher than at 80 cents and up to a maximum of 30% of the wines in the competition, excluding medals already delivered).
For wines included in 30% of the winners , Special Mentions may be added in reference to the Best Italian Wine categories; Best foreign wine; Best sparkling wine; Best sweet wine; Best long-lived wine (ie from years prior to the current one).
The announcement of the winners will take place on Friday 7 July, starting at 8.30 pm , during the second day of the XXXVI Müller Thurgau: Vino di Montagna review , organized with the support of Trentino Marketing and the coordination of the Trentino Wine and Flavors Route as part of the promotion of the provincial wine events called #trentinowinefest.

Müller Thurgau profile
Born between 1882 and 1891 from the crossing of Riesling Renano and Madeleine Royal by the hand of prof. Hermann Müller, Müller Thurgau is a vine that ripens best in the mountains and which has found its ideal habitat in the Cembra Valley, an area sheltered by mountains and woods and characterized by porphyritic soils and strong temperature variations. From the vinification of its grapes, a white wine is obtained with a pale straw yellow color with greenish reflections, a very evident aromatic component, with hints of aromatic herbs, elderberry, tropical fruit and citrus fruits. Savory, mineral, with pleasant acidity: typical characteristics of mountain wines.
