NEW YORK, Feb. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Consorzio di Tutela Barolo Barbaresco Alba Langhe e Dogliani hosts the highly anticipated fourth edition of the Barolo & Barbaresco World Opening (BBWO), culminating with a Grand Tasting event at the Branch Park Pavillion in Austin, Texas on 25 March 2025 involving over 160 producers. In addition, the Barolo & Barbaresco Academy has delivered educational sessions across six major cities, offering wine professionals an unparalleled opportunity to explore the world of Barolo and Barbaresco wines. This immersive educational experience delved into the Langhe region’s unique terroir and the diverse expressions of Barolo, Barbaresco and other Nebbiolo-based wines that this appellation offers. Over 200 participants explored the geology, climate, and history of the region, as well as perfect food pairings for Barolo and Barbaresco wines.
This year, for the first time, the Consorzio di Tutela Barolo Barbaresco Alba Langhe Dogliani has encompassed three southwestern States with educational events and dedicated tastings taking place in Texas (Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio), Arizona (Phoenix) and Colorado (Denver). These three states are rapidly emerging as pivotal hubs for wine consumption in North America, with Texas standing out for its dynamic wine market and growing appreciation for high-quality wines. Together, these markets boast expanding communities of wine enthusiasts and a rising demand for premium and imported options, making them ideal settings to spotlight the wines of Piemonte.
The Italian Wine Podcast BBWO Series has kicked off on 15 February 2025 with an exclusive interview with Sergio Germano, President of Consorzio di Tutela Barolo Barbaresco Alba Langhe Dogliani. The series, hosted by leading Texas-based wine journalist Jessica Dupuy, will be broadcast weekly with prominent figures from the US wine sector, including Steven McDonald Master Sommelier, Austin Farina, Ali Schmidt and Sandra Spalding, as well as real-time updates and engaging discussions across the podcast’s digital platforms.
Stevie Kim, founder of the Italian Wine Podcast, welcomed the new media partnership, adding: “We’re thrilled to be back in Texas after Texsom—our second time in this dynamic market that’s becoming ever more important for Italian wine. As an official media partner, the Italian Wine Podcast is excited to share the incredible stories behind Barolo and Barbaresco, and we look forward to showcasing how these iconic wines continue to captivate the North American audience.”
Sergio Germano, recently elected President of the Consorzio di Tutela Barolo Barbaresco Alba Langhe e Dogliani, also welcomed the new partnership. “Barolo and Barbaresco wines are renowned worldwide and through this media partnership with the Italian Wine Podcast, we aim to deepen appreciation for these iconic wines. By working together, we’re not only sharing the legacy of these exceptional wines but also fostering a greater understanding of the Langhe region’s unique terroir and its crucial role in representing the Italian wine industry worldwide”
