Italian wines are highly sought after on the Irish market, with the Piedmont region leading the charge. The promotional consortium I Vini del Piemonte is proud to return to Dublin for the third edition of Barolo & Friends.

This tasting initiative showcases the excellence of Piedmont’s 59 wine regions—a territory boasting more DOCGs (19) than any other in Italy. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to explore over 100 wines, including prestigious labels such as Asti DOCG, Barbaresco DOCG, Barolo DOCG, Gattinara DOC, Gavi DOCG, and Roero DOCG.

It is an unmissable chance to discover indigenous varieties and meet 16 passionate producers flying in directly from Italy. Forget #DryJanuary... it’s time for #TryJanuary!
