The Slow Wine 2023 guide, now in its thirteenth edition, is a hugely important publication for industry enthusiasts, professionals and consumers. It can be considered unique not only for the completeness and richness of the information, but also because it is based on the principles of “good, clean, fair wine,” the philosophy of Slow Food’s “Good Wine Statement.”
Giancarlo Gariglio, editor of the guide, invites in the preface to reflect on the specificity of the 2023 edition. It is necessary to remember the tragic consequences of droughts or catastrophic climatic events that hit the sector in 2022. A world at a crossroads, he says, as it seems “I understood that winemakers, Those who faced such a great emergency, did not respond in any particular order. Those who practice intensive and large-scale viticulture had to look for technical shortcuts to quantitatively protect production.” And those shortcuts remain highly impactful and long-term It looks like they really do have short legs. It is also for this reason that 2022 is a year in which we must listen to “real winemakers who are accustomed to walking through their vineyards every day, having the opportunity to experience moment by moment the progression of drought” and the effects of very high temperatures, trying to account for the needs of plants day by day. day after day, and draw valuable lessons for the future.” They are the ones who have grasped the message that came from nature better and closer, so we must now devote ourselves to discussion, study, scientific research, and compare the positive and negative experiences of each of them. So this 2023 guide is the most important and important.
