Vini dell’Anno 2022: i rossi top per Decanter

I vini classici, dominati da un’altra forte performance dall’Italia, sono stati i protagonisti tra i 63 vini rossi nominati in Decanter’s Wines of the Year 2022. Tina Gellie ha parlato con i tre giudici dopo la degustazione per ascoltare i loro pensieri.

Ma è stata una battaglia delle regioni classiche, con i nostri tre giudici esperti che hanno discusso a lungo su quale di questi marcatori da 98 punti promuovere a Vino rosso dell’anno.
