TerroirVino was created by the wine magazine TigullioVino.it.
This wine magazine, created in April 2000, has become the
reference for wine and food information on the Web in Italy.
The project consists in presenting to the trade press, professionals
and to our readers, a top selection of winemakers and wines
resulting from the choices made over the last few years by
our panel of tasters. In particular, among all the wines tasted,
this selection rewards winemakers and wines that, beyond their
high quality level and excellent quality-price ratio, have
also managed to impart a strong emotion, and the respect of
their grape varieties or their terroir. In other words not
necessarily or not only "trendy wines" or "top flight wines",
but rather wines that deserve attention for their quality,
originality and ease of drinking.
After the success of the previous editions, the meeting has
moved to the Magazzini del Cotone, one of the most well served
congress area of the city. Our motto, "where wine, people
and the web meet", underscores the need to stimulate communication
and feedback between winemakers, professionals, consumers
and independent media (on line media most of all); the title
"TerroirVino", in an effort to bring about
a common ground for dialogue and exchanges between viticultural
areas.
The wineries that we invite to participate in this event
are part of what we call our quality circle, and represent
the best wines tasted by our panel.New exhibitors get added
to the quality circle every year, but our panel also verifies
the continued eligibility of companies that have participated
in previous editions. Wineries that are reconfirmed receive,
each year, the Winery Prize for constant quality, while new
wineries are given awards for wines that qualified either
for absolute quality or quality-price ratio.
