For the first time a tasting (with audience) of the 100/100 world wine critics ( November 12, Monza)

From Sassicaia (best wine in the world 2015 for Wine Spectator) to Brunello di Montalcino Il Marroneto (twice 100/100 for Robert Parker), from Barbaresco Roagna (twice 100/100 Decanter) to Barolo Monvigliero Burlotto (100/100 for Robert Parker), from Tenuta di Trinoro (100/100 Robert Parker) to Montevertine, via Solaia, Ornellaia and Masseto: the 100/100 tasting is staged at Villa Reale, in Monza, on November 12. And, “L’Eccellenza in Villa”, Italy’s first tasting of collectible wines (so the rarest and most expensive Italian wines), will be open to the public (ticket 110 euros, hours from 3 to 7 p.m.). The best Italian fine wines, usually sold only on allocation, will be presented by the producers in person, at “Monza Wine Experience” 2023: today the most sought-after labels by wine merchants, restaurateurs, collectors and enthusiasts are now sold almost exclusively on allocation. Because of their small number, wineries are forced to select who to sell them to by creating allocation lists. Only if a customer on the list does not purchase the wine is then a new one placed on hold, otherwise, access remains a pipe dream, regardless of the price one is willing to spend. This mechanism makes the price of such wines higher and higher, and it is increasingly difficult for enthusiasts to be able to taste or purchase them, as they are not present at public events that are not reserved for the trade press. A walk-around tasting will be staged in the Villa Reale in Monza with the best producers, to whom will go the honor and the burden of telling wine lovers the secrets of these often unobtainable jewels of Italian enology. Selecting these wines will be journalist and food and wine critic from Decanter, one of the world’s leading wine publications, Aldo Fiordelli. “Today there is a wine event every weekend”, explained Samantha Ceccardi (Visionplus), who organizes “L’Eccellenza in Villa”, “so, with Aldo Fiordelli, we asked ourselves how to propose something new, stimulating and, above all, of depth. Something that had never been seen before. Making the event even more unique will be the splendid setting of the Villa Reale in Monza, appropriate for such an important selection of wines. While wanting to make an event open to everyone, the ticket price had to reflect the value of an event that gathers the rarest and most valuable labels of Italian enology. However, it is also the first time that such wines have been offered to the public and not only to the press or insiders”.
Next to the top selection, there will be a room dedicated to Barolo, with a tasting desk featuring the best Mga (Additional Geographical Mentions) of the Langhe and the most prestigious producers of the appellation. The event is the real novelty of the “Monza Wine Experience” 2023, an enological event dedicated to prestigious wine, after the masterclasses on Amarone, Barolo and Franciacorta and the gala dinner featuring a dream team of chefs taking turns at the stove, above all the staff of Enrico Crippa’s Piazza Duomo in Alba (three Michelin stars).
