The Tasting Jury will meet in a room specially adapted for the tasting of sparkling wines with all the necessary infrastructures, equipment and conditions to guarantee an optimal and impartial tasting of rosé sparkling wines.

Each rosé sparkling wine will be tested individually by the Tasting Jury, which in no case will be less than 5 members, following a tasting sheet that will facilitate the organization.

• Visual appearance
• Olfactory aspect
• Impression in the mouth
• General quality 

The organization will monitor and guarantee the correct operation of the BRIBA during the preparation of the samples, organization and realization of the tasting.

The development of the BRIBA will consist of a tasting session where all the rosé sparkling wines presented in each of the categories will be tasted and rated.

The Tasting Jury will be composed of renowned wine tasting professionals and

professional solvency and, in particular, with extensive knowledge and experience of

tasting rosé sparkling wines.

The reward scale adopted is a system that works by appreciation and that allows the classification of competing sparkling rosé wines based on their intrinsic qualities. The BRIBA distinguishes the following rewards for each of the categories:

• Gold medal
• Silver medal

Among all the rosé sparkling wines awarded with a gold medal in all categories, the Great Gold Medal for the Best Rosé Sparkling Wine will be chosen.

According to the OIV regulations, the number of rewards is limited to 30% of the total of the samples presented in the BRIBA. The awards will be awarded according to the appreciation of the Tasting Jury based on the high level of quality of the rosé sparkling wines presented, but if the jury deems it appropriate, one or more of the awards may be declared void. However, if the Tasting Jury deems it appropriate, two winners could be declared ex aequo of one or more of the awards.

The results will be communicated to the producers and the general public at an awards ceremony. Communications with the developers will be made through the email address and / or the telephone number provided in the award registration form.
