VINI VINCITORI 2010

Bergamo | International Wine Competition | Emotions of the World : Merlot e Cabernet Together

ONCE AGAIN ‘EMOZIONI DAL MONDO: MERLOT E CABERNET INSIEME’ CONFIRMED ITS INTERNATIONAL VALUE
 

Two Great Gold Medals: one to Slovenia and one to Mantova (Italy) 56 Gold Medals to 7 Countries around the world.

The seventh edition of International Oenological Competition ‘Emozioni dal Mondo: Merlot e Cabernet Insieme’ confirmed its skills of internationality and representativity.
Highly qualified judges from 18 Countries (Peru, New Zealand, Czech Republic, Italy, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, France, Latvia, Malta, Israel, Germany, Austria, Luxemburg, Belgium, Hungary, Slovakia and Polony) tasted 201 wines produced all around the world (15 Countries joined the Competition: Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Serbia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Slovachia, Slovenia, Israel, Malta, South Africa, Chile, Peru and Turkey).
63 judges, divided into 7 commissions, confirmed the fact that ‘Emozioni dal Mondo: Merlot e Cabernet Insieme’ owns the major relationship between the number of tasters and the number of samples tasted.

The medium score of the 200 wines tasted is a relevant and high one: 83/100.
‘This high result means that producers carefully choose the wines to submit to ‘Emozioni dal Mondo: Merlot e Cabernet Insieme’ said Mr Sergio Cantoni, director of Consorzio Tutela Valcalepio, ‘83/100 is the value of a Silver Medal following the OIV (Organisation International de la Vigne et du Vin) regulation’.
But the same OIV regulation provides that only 30% of the total amount of samples could gain a medal: that explains why 56 gold medals and 2 great gold medals (here the score was of 92/100).

Another important prize assigned at ‘Emozioni dal Mondo: Merlot e Cabernet Insieme’ is the Press Prize. It is a medal based on the scores obtained through journalist judges’ charts. The Press Prize is awarded to the wine that per each country taking part in the competition obtained the maximum score (at least 80/100).

‘It is a pleasure to assign the Great Gold Medal to Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon Goriska brda 2006 produced by Constantini Vina (Slovenia) and to IGT Cabernet Alto Mincio Val di Pietra 2008 produced by Tenuta Maddalena in Mantova (Italy)’ said Enrico Rota, President of Consorzio Tutela Valcalepio. ‘These results show how the commissions’ appreciation is not only focused on strong and highly alcoholic samples but also to less structured, fresher and softer wines’.

More emotions were given also by the history and the culture of Bergamo region.
The tastings and the gala dinner took place in the wonderful frescoed rooms of Visconti Palace in Brignano Gera d’Adda and the guided tour showed to the judges the amazing Pagazzano Castle and Caravaggio Sanctuary.
The oenological tour, on the other hand, took place in Cantina Sociale Val San Martino (Pontida) and Azienda Agricola Sant’Egidio (Fontanella).
