From 5 to 11 October, “La Vendemmia di Via Montenapoleone“ starts again in Milan. The event, now in its eleventh edition, is conceived and promoted by Montenapoleone District and realized in collaboration with the Comitato Grandi Cru d’Italia and, also this year it is during the ‘Milano Wine Week‘ staged from 3 to 11 October.

The wines, national and international, become protagonists in the boutique Global Luxury Brands of the Fashion District that welcome guests for wine-tastings on request.

These are the words of Guglielmo Miani, president of the Montenapoleone District: ‘With the harvest we renow one again our desire to celebrate the union between the world of fashion and wine, two pillars of Made in Italy. Love for beauty and research, between tradition and innovation, that we breathe in the Milan streets and boutiques, are enhanced in the week of ‘La Vendemmia’, one of the events that contributes to increase the prestige of Milan also internationally’.

The partecipation to ‘La Vendemmia’ is, for the first time, also digital: on the Instragram TV, thanks to the speech of fashion and wine entrepreneurs, some mouthpieces of the most famous Maison and ambassadors of the Italian lifestyle in the world.

Among the activities planned, the 7th October, a Masterclass organized by Gambero Rosso at the Four Seasons Hotel, in which partecipated also Cantina Toblino with L’Ora, awarded with the 3 Bicchieri.

A white wine that defies time, L’Ora of Toblino, from Nosiola grapes, a lustrum (2015) that gives further complexity to the white obtained with one of the great autochthonous varieties.”

Lorenzo Ruggeri, food and wine journalist for Gambero Rosso, described Cantina Toblino as ‘a reality in which 600 partners work together according to a strict protocol that allows them to create great wines, environmental sustainability, continuity and many projects on different land. Its Nosiola, the unique great Trentino native grape, is a very particular but versatile variety, which allows the production of great dry and sweet wines. It has a character that comes out of the chor, with hints and rhythms that taste of other time.’

The Nosiola, aged for 5 years, was a surprise both for the critics and the guests present at the event.


The guide “˜Vini d’Italia’ of Gambero Rosso is one of the most authoritative Italian publications, which annually assigns the prestigious 3 Bicchieri, the highest recognition expected for a wine: an award for a few, prestigious labels.

A consolidated experience of over 30 years of history has allowed this guide to acquire authority towards consumers, presenting itself every year as an important voice of food and wine criticism, capable of directing the market by pointing out the excellences, whether they are produced by small winemakers as from large cellars.

Also this year, the Nosiola di Toblino is reconfirmed, receiving the 3 Bicchieri with L’Ora 2015 of Cantina Toblino: a white wine that defies time, a luster (2015) on the shoulders to give further complexity to the white obtained with one of the great native varieties, made an even more noble vine, with an identity in the Dolomite approach, which tries its hand at slowness and relaunches goduriose simplicity.

The Nosiola grapes, vinified with greater care and attention, give rise to a decidedly satisfying and equally versatile white wine. Able to satisfy a jovial consumption as the patient – deserved – expected. Because his genuine youthful strength becomes singularly complex with the passage of time. Golden, with apparently imperceptible reflections, it relaunches a first-rate floral olfactory set, so much so that it competes with wines from much more noble and international vines.

Nosiola, unmistakably linked to Vino Santo, the undisputed star of the Gambero Rosso 2020 guide, which described it as the Best Sweet Wine of Italy, winning it 3 Bicchieri.

Gambero Rosso World Tour – London 2020. Thanks to the prestigious recognition obtained by Cantina Toblino Vino Santo Trentino DOC 2003 (3 Bicchieri e nominee as Miglior Vino Dolce d’Italia 2020 for Gambero Rosso) our wines were among the protagonists of the event “GAMBERO ROSSO TRE BICCHIERI WORLD TOUR – LONDON 2020”. The event was held at the Hackney Town Hall, an art-deco style building often used for large events and ceremonies. The program, in addition to the tasting tables of 40 producers who received the 3 glasses from Gambero Rosso, included a master class dedicated to Tuscan Frescobaldi wines and one to extra virgin olive oil.

 

 

A unique setting, expert and demanding public, accustomed to tasting great wines. Precisely for this reason Cantina Toblino, alongside the Vino Santo, has also proposed other selections from native vines. Largiller – Nosiola Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2012 ed eLimarò – Rosso Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2015. These wines, born from the expert hands of our winemaker Lorenzo Tomazzoli, have cheered the most demanding palates thanks to their complexity, elegance and freshness.

 

 

Importers, journalists, sommeliers, curators. All impressed by our wines, by the potential and adaptability of Nosiola and Rebo.
