ENOTECA
WHO WE ARE
Inaugurated on 5 July 1986, the Barbaresco Regional Enoteca works to promote the wine production of the area, today representing the Barbarescos of 142 companies. The Enoteca was born from an initiative of the Piedmont Region. In 1980 the regional law n. 37 in fact determined the establishment of the circuit of Regional Wine Shops in order to satisfy two objectives: the valorisation of wine culture and the recovery of historical structures, which became the headquarters of the various wine shops.
The need to create a regional institution for the promotion of Barbaresco became more urgent between the 70s and 80s. However, the problem of the lack of adequate space had to be addressed: both the castle of Neive and the fiefdom of Barbaresco were not municipal property and no suitable structures existed in Treiso. The Municipality of Barbaresco then decided to purchase from the Curia the building of the former Confraternity of San Donato, now disused, thus allowing the opening of the wine shop in 1986.
The promotion and valorisation of Barbaresco and the territory of which it is an expression, the main commitment of the Enoteca, takes place through the organization of events, such as Espressione Barbaresco, Barbaresco a Tavola and Piacere Barbaresco, and tasting activities at the headquarters. In the Enoteca it is possible to purchase Barbarescos from the entire production area, grappas and gadgets.
The Barbaresco Regional Enoteca ships all over the world. If interested, write an email to enoteca@enotecadelbarbaresco.it
