This year’s tasting has resulted in 30 Grand Gold, 130 Gold, 90 Silver and 20 Compliments. The overall winner was the 2020 Divico AOC from Weingut Florian Ramu, Lake Geneva, who achieved 99 points.

High Average Level At Huge Stylistic Spectrum
The 10 per cent increase within Grand Gold and Gold categories – 90-100 points range – made the PIWI WINE AWARD INTERNATIONAL 2022 to a tasting with a pleasingly high general level, despite the vastly differing vintages caused by the climate change, that meanwhile steadily involves winemakers worldwide. Most probably, these climatic fluctuations are responsible for the stylistic diversity.
WINE SYSTEM quality auditor and PAR® Certified Master Alexander Morandell said: „We currently experience experiments between traditional craftmanship and high-tech vinification on broad scope; this does not make the quality check easier – but more thrilling. While the modern, reductively-made, fruity styles prevailed for years, the overall sensory appearance becomes clearly heterogeneous again. The look at the category „Natural Wine“is a good example illustrating this tendency – entirely resigning of the SO2 injections with partly quite impressing qualities.“
