Bruno Gambacorta, who presided over the jury, extended his compliments to all participating districts, including Poggiolo, San Donato, Cagnano and Talosa, who were eliminated in the first round, but whose recipes were nonetheless outstanding.
The decision of the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Consortium to call on Alberto Baraldi, managing director of the local chapter of the Slow Food organization, to pair wine and recipes, was a winning idea that contributed to enhancing the quality of both the food and the quality wines from Montepulciano that were selected.
In delivering the awards to the winning district, Massimo Romeo, president of the Consortium, said that he was truly pleased by the enthusiasm generated by the gastronomic competition.
The event was part of a bigger extravaganza, featuring local wine producer booths in the main square as part of the 'Cantine in Piazza' ('Wineries in the Square'), the opening of the photo exhibition entitled 'Nobili Profumi e Nobili Sapori. Storie di Vigne e di Persone' ('Nobel Aromas and Noble Flavors. Stories of Vineyards and People'), showing at the entrance hall of the Palazzo Comunale. The photo collection, by photographer Paolo Codeluppi and featuring the Montepulciano wine zone, is the idea of architect Marco Sbernadori, who set up the exhibition completed by insightful captions by well known Italian journalist, Ernesto Gentili, who participated in person.
