‍The 2016 Barolo and Barbaresco vintage is universally hailed by critics as an absolute masterpiece. A long growing season with no extreme heat spikes came at a time when many prominent winemakers in these regions were coming into their own and establishing their own styles. The result has been described by Antonio Galloni of Vinous as a "vintage full of truly spectacular, breathtaking wines that captures all the pedigree that Nebbiolo and Barolo are capable of".

Michael Palij MW, a long-standing friend and supporter of the Society, will present this outstanding range of wines representing some of the best producers as well as some of the most famous ‘cru’ sites in the region such as the Montestefano, Bricco Boschis and Cannubi vineyards. The tasting presents a unique opportunity to explore the vinous delights that Piedmont has to offer.

The eight wines to be tasted are:

Orlando Abrigo, Barbaresco Meruzzano

Fratelli Alessandria, Barolo San Lorenzo

La Ca' Nova, Barbaresco Montestefano

Cavallotto, Barolo Bricco Boschis

Paitin, Barbaresco Sori Paitin

Francesco Rinaldi, Barolo Cannubi

Fratelli Alessandria, Barolo Gramolere

Roberto Voerzio, Barolo Comune La Morra
