Life is a wonderful experience, made of fleeting moments, positive memories to recall every time one needs a positive charge. That's why I've learned to taste wine.
Each one of us has had the opportunity in his life to uncork a prestigious bottle of wine.
The journey to discover wine tasting begins in the glass.
Already at first sight the wine speaks of itself, of its history. It’s like the first encounter with a handsome stranger. I do not know who he is, but his look is familiar to me and, at first sight, I can make assumptions.
Firstly I should check if my wine has an attractive, bright and pleasant color. A little dull or matt color can be a warning, because it indicates oxidation: my wine may have been improperly stored or it have reached the end of its history. When I am at the restaurant, if I am served with a wine whose color is bad, I should check immediately its scent and, often, I do not even need to taste it to send it back firmly.
Swirling the glass, the wine creates tears and arches, that give us some information on the texture of the wine. An aged wine, that is a bit denser, will leave thick, viscous streaks (called legs or tears) down the sides of the glass when swirled. When the tears are slow and the arches are thick and tight , the wine has a great texture.
However, if the tears are fast and the arches are wide, such as with still water, probably the wine is young and has not been stored in barrel.
In the next post I will talk about which information provides the color of the wine during the visual examination.
WORKSHOP on "THE BEST FOOD EDUCATION"
my speech on "DIGITAL WINE EDUCATION"
WORKSHOP sul tema "LA MIGLIORE EDUCAZIONE ALIMENTARE
Tema del mio intervento: L'educazione digitale alla degustazione
La deustazione del vino online è una realtà
Mi è piaciuta molta la partecipazione al workshop organizzato in Expo da Talent4Rice e Rice2up in collaborazione con SISECO, dal tema "Think global, act local"
Nelle sale di cascina Triulza, insieme ad interlocutori prestigiosi, abbiamo raccontato le best practices, che guardano con ottimismo al futuro, secondo il paradigma della "economia glocale”, ovvero valorizzando le realtà territoriali, i valori e i contenuti locali, condividendoli globalmente per produrre arricchimento culturale ed economico, in pieno tema di EXPO.
L'inter-attività tra persone permette di vivere la dimensione locale con prospettiva globale.
