Celebrating La Festa del Barolo 2023: Notes from the Delectable Community

Vinous’ La Festa del Barolo 2023 kicks off tomorrow, Saturday, January 28 in Los Angeles and will continue in New York City from February 1-4. Festa LA starts with a walk-around tasting where guests will be able to sample several wines from each producer. In the evening, the BYOB Gala Dinner will take place. Each grower will serve two library wines at their table. Festa NYC begins on Wednesday, February 1, with the first in a series of village dinners: A Taste of Verduno. This very special dinner features the wines of G.B. Burlotto, Castello di Verduno and Fratelli Alessandria and will be hosted by Antonio Galloni. La Festa del Barolo continues on Friday, February 3 with a Produttori del Barbaresco Lunch with Aldo Vacca. Attendees will work their way through nine 2017 Barbaresco Riservas and discuss the characteristics of each site. Furthermore, they will taste the new 2016 multi-vineyard Riserva, a wine the Produttori have made only a few times in their history, most recently in 1990. This lunch will be hosted by Antonio Galloni. Later that evening, Vinous will hold the Big Bottle Gala Dinner & Charity Auction. Fifteen leading Piemonte producers will each host a table and pour wines from their library. Vinous' ultimate Barolo experience finishes on Saturday, February 4 with the 2018 Barolo Masterclass and Burgers & Winemaker Lunch hosted by Antonio. Guests will hear directly from the growers as they talk about the current vintages, recent trends and the influence of site during the 2018 Barolo Masterclass. The Burgers & Barolo Winemaker Lunch at The Grill, an annual tradition, rounds out the schedule of live events.
