In October 2010, we entered our 2008 L’Urlo in the 6th Annual Concorso Enologico Internazionale’s Competition “Emotions of the World: Merlot and Cabernet Together”. We were thrilled when L’Urlo’s first vintage was recognized with gold medal status, the only 2008 from Tuscany to receive such recognition.
59 judges, 35 living in foreign countries and 25 Italian judges, tasted and valued 202 wines produced in 21 countries. ‘Following the Contest rules more than half of the judges have to be foreign and also wine specialists. This is undoubtedly a decision that recognizes the importance of specific education in the judges.’ said Sergio Cantoni, chief director of Consorzio Tutela Valcalepio, that organized ‘Emozioni dal Mondo: Merlot e Cabernet Insieme’ under the patronage of OIV, the International Organization of Grape and Wine.
A limited number of bottles of our L’Urlo 2009 will be available for sale from June 2011. Please check our website’s “WHERE TO BUY” section for a list of our premier retail partners or contact us directly to secure yours.
