Tre Bicchieri World Tour Comes to the U.S.A.

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 13, 2012

Vias is proud to represent several Tre Bicchieri winners at the Gambero Rosso World Tour dates in the United States.

The release of the 2012 Gambero Rosso guide placed 13 Vias supplier wines from nine different Italian regions in the prestigious Tre Bicchieri category (see list of winners below). The Gambero Rosso panel tasted over 20,000 wines, selecting only 375 wines to receive the Tre Bicchieri title.

Vias Tre Bicchieri honorees Elvio Cogno Ravera Barolo 2007, Còlpetrone Sagrantino di Montefalco 2007, Tenuta San Leonardo San Leonardo 2006, Rocca di Frassinello Baffonero 2009 and Feudi del Pisciotto Gianfranco Ferre` Passito will be poured at the three Gambero Rosso tastings in America, giving enophiles the chance to taste these premiere, limited-production wines. Tenuta San Leonardo, a Tre Bicchieri veteran, will be presenting the 14th vintage of San Leonardo to receive the distinction. Elvio Cogno Owner and Winemaker Valter Fissore, Rocca di Frassinello and Feudi del Pisciotto Winemaker and Sales Director Alessandro Cellai and Còlpetrone Export Manager Giovanni Lai will personally be on hand to present their Tre Bicchieri wines.

“We are proud to have so many Tre Bicchieri winners in our portfolio. Such a recognition is a testament to the nearly 30 years Vias Imports and Fabrizio Pedrolli have spent putting together a premiere portfolio of Italian wines by building long-term relationships with the producers that best represent their terroir,” says Vias         President Luca Bigerna.
