Wineries showcased in the Tre Bicchieri tour are those awarded the highly coveted tre bicchieri (three glass) designation in the newly-released 2022 Vini D’Italia. Considered to be the ultimate authority of the best Italian wines, the 2022 Vini D’Italia guide features a curated list of 2,634 producers selected by more than 60 tasters who traveled throughout the country tasting some 25,000 wines collectively. Wines are evaluated using Gambero Rosso’s bicchieri rating–or glass ranking–with the tre bicchieri rating reserved for just the top one percent of wines from that vintage. Of the 1,982 wines given bicchieri designations, just 476 wines were awarded the coveted tre bicchieri.
The 2022 guide is available for purchase at amazon.com and will be available for sale during Gambero Rosso’s 2022 invitation-only U.S tour.
