THE WINE TASTING

To grasp the full essence hidden in a sip of wine, to understand and evaluate every nuance of colour, aroma and flavour, simply loving it is not enough, but it is an essential starting point. Unpredictable, with a wealth of surprises, wine conquers those who seek profound knowledge of it. And it rewards their efforts, as little by little, sip by sip, it unveils the best facets of its character.

Theoretic knowledge of viticulture and enology, curiosity and enthusiasm, represent the foundation on which to cultivate the technique of wine tasting, to undertake a serious and professional approach by tasting wines of every typology, origin and quality, to be perfected with independent judgment.
Learning to taste means sampling wine with great care, connecting perceived sensations to the history and evolution of wines, and evaluating it, as much as possible, without being influenced by personal preferences. To enter the world of wine, you need a passe-partout, a common framework of simple terminology to talk about it, a master-key of concise language, which allows you to sketch its features with just a few essential and efficient strokes.

 
Every tasting can become a voyage of discovery, a moment of pleasure, each one a tile in the most fascinating mosaic that the century-old relationship between mankind and nature has ever created: wine.
