The Wines…
Gambero Rosso is an Italian food and wine magazine and publishing group founded in 1986.. Its name literally translates as “red prawn” and comes from a tavern in Pinocchio where the Fox and the Cat dine. It considered one of Italy’s top wine publications. It reviews tens of thousands of wine each year throughout Italy with less than 5% receiving a three glass or Tre Bicchieri top rating
The Gambero Rosso wine ratings in Vini d’Italia are built up on the number of glasses “bicchieri” awarded to a wine, which is indicated in the wine guide with a number of stylized glasses next to the wine’s name. Only 5% of the wines rated receive the highest rating three glasses or “Tre Bicchieri” award , and the wine guide only includes wines which are seen by the editors as “above average”. The ratings are based upon blind tasting by independent experts. The guide is edited in Italian, English and German language. Three glasses indicate “extraordinary wines”.
With the help of our longtime friend Robert Fatica we have been able to secure eleven Tre Bicchieri wines. Robert spoke to us about having a wine dinner to feature these beautiful Italian wines and we said YES!
Robert owned Primo Vino in Cleveland’s Little Italy for over 35 years and each year he would host a Tre Bicchieri wine event at his restaurant. Robert closed Primo Vino several years ago and now sells the Italian wine he so loves for Wines LLC. Robert has traveled extensively throughout Italy and will be a perfect guide for this tasting.
