As usual, I get my news on what's going on in Europe via Brazil, from one of purple pages' most active subscribers, Rodrigo Mainardi, who kindly forwarded me the following list just out of the most powerful wine awards made in Italy, the Tre Bicchieri wines of the annual Gambero Rosso guide (which will subsequently be available in English).
See my review of last year's three-glass wines.
This is the time to pounce if your taste favours the upfront appeal of the Gambero Rosso tasters - and we've clearly all got to look out for Gianni Masciarelli of the Abruzzi.
