B.Wine Gala 2019

Have you ever wished to be able to sip through some wonderful wine, all dressed up, while seating across the table from the producer, listening to a wine expert’s explanation of what you are drinking? What if all of the previous were to be in a wonderful location, like the breathtaking Castle in Corneliano Bertario? Well, if you answered “yes” to any one of these questions you really missed out on this year’s Wine Gala.

On Tuesday the 30th of April more than one hundred wine enthusiasts like you met up in piazza Sraffa, and from there took our organized transportation to Truccazzano, to discover the recluse beauty of the Castello di Corneliano Bertario. There, they got greeted by an aperitivo in the internal cohort of the castle, matched with a choice between a Fogarina Rosè and Pinot Bianco. After the aperitivo, our wine lovers were led upstairs, in the main hall of the castle, to be introduced to the main guests of the evening, namely our selection of three different wines to match our meal: A white Luccicante, and the red Etichetta Nera and Unique, a Lambrusco Marani. More on those in our Wine Expert Corner, courtesy of our wonderful Andrea Bilato.

After dinner, the dances started, and all the guests met the perfect way we identified to finish off the evening: an open bar of ice-cold Amaro Montenegro, and the delicious, chocolaty and wine-based Caramella TiDo.
