Vinous and Delectable Announce Partnership with Collisioni Wine, Music & Literature Festival

May 16, 2017, New York, NY –  “I am thrilled to announce that Vinous and Delectable will be the official media partners this year of Collisioni, the annual wine/music/literature festival held in Barolo,” says Vinous CEO and Founder Antonio Galloni. “Music and the arts have always been a passion of mine. To bring that all together with wine in one of the most beautiful towns in the world is a dream come true.”
For four days in July, Barolo, a small village in the picturesque hills of Italy’s Piedmont region, becomes an open air, non-stop festival with wine tastings, concerts and literature readings that attract an audience from all over the world.
“We are absolutely delighted to have Vinous and Delectable as sponsors for the 9th edition of Collisioni” says Artistic Director and Founder Filippo Taricco. Collisioni officially starts on July 14, with a performance schedule headlined by Robbie Williams, the best-selling British solo artist with a record 18 Brit Awards.

Vinous will outfit Agrilab, Collisioni’s multimedia learning center, with the innovative, interactive Barolo map that has earned Vinous critical acclaim, and made Vinous a case study for Google Maps, as well as video content that will be streamed continuously at various Collisioni venues with exclusive interviews and expert insight on the festival’s wines.

Delectable will be the official app of Collisioni. Known as the Instagram of wine, Delectable allows users to scan a bottle of wine with their smartphone, then share and read reviews. Collisioni tastings will be pre-loaded into Delectable, making it easy for wine lovers to share their impressions with friends and followers.
