	07/01/2010 Velenosi Awarded the Gambero Rosso Oscar Prize for ‘Best Value for the Money’ Even among the most famous of wine authorities, there are few that equal the depth, the comprehensiveness, and the sheer exhaustive coverage of the Gambero Rosso. Often referred to as THE Italian Wine guide, the Gambero Rosso debuted in 1986 as an eight page newspaper insert. Within a few years of that first insert, it grew into the most respected and most complete guide to Italian wines in the world, and its trademark "uno, due, and tre bicchieri" (one, two, and three glasses) rating system for wines became Italy's (and the world's) gold standard for evaluating everything from Barolo to Zibibbo. The guide is now printed in English and German as well as Italian, and weighs in at roughly 900 pages and reviews about 14,000 wines produced in Italy each year. This year, Velenosi Winery was awarded the Gambero Rosso Oscar Prize for the ‘Best Value for the Money’. Located just outside of the town of Ascoli Piceno, Velenosi is a dynamic estate headed by the charismatic and skilled Angela Velenosi. To say the very least, Angela is very proud of the work they have done that has accumulated to this point. The prestigious award is a great honor and a hard task to accomplish, as not all high quality wines are able to be made so affordable. Congratulations to Velenosi on achieving this great honor! Back
