Alla scoperta del vino

Le strade del gusto presents "DISCOVERING WINE", a course entirely dedicated to the sensory analysis of wine.

“Tasting is an analysis that is carried out only with the help of the senses, during which the risk of being guided by personal tastes is always lurking. Learning to taste means sampling wine carefully, connecting the sensations perceived to its history and evolution. And above all, learning to know it and to express an evaluation not conditioned by one's own preferences.”  

The course, curated by Sommeliers and Official Tasters Cristina Mamusa and Ferruccio Sabiucciu, is divided into 4 lessons:

• 1st LESSON: Thursday, April 21, 7:00 pm_The thousand shades of wine color;

• 2nd LESSON: Thursday, April 28, 7:00 pm_The wonderful world of wine aromas; 

• 3rd LESSON: Thursday, May 5, 7:00 pm_The gustatory perceptions of wine;

• 4th LESSON: Thursday, May 12, 7:00 pm_The emotional experience of a guided tasting.           

To support each lesson, teaching materials will be used, which can later be shared with participants in digital format.

The lessons will take place in the tasting room of Cantina Audarya, km 10+100, SS466 di, 09040 Serdiana, CA

1. The first lesson will be dedicated to THE THOUSAND SHADES OF WINE COLOR AND ITS VISUAL EXAMINATION.

“The first phase of tasting is the visual examination, the first step in evaluating a wine, during which various information is acquired about the grape variety from which the wine was obtained, the environment in which the vine grew, and the techniques used for its vinification. The visual examination provides a series of clues to understand the type of wine, its composition, and its evolution.” During the lesson, a visual analysis and tasting of 2 wines will be carried out.

2. The second lesson will be dedicated to THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF WINE AROMAS AND ITS OLFACTORY EXAMINATION.

“The olfactory examination represents the second phase of tasting and serves to discover everything that makes up the wine's aromatic profile, rich in dozens of varied scents that range among the aromas of everything found in nature.” During the lesson, an olfactory analysis and tasting of 2 wines will be carried out.

3. The third lesson will be dedicated to THE GUSTATORY PERCEPTIONS OF WINE AND THE EXAMINATION OF FLAVOR, TACTILE, AND RETRONASAL SENSATIONS.

“The gustatory-olfactory examination must verify whether the predictions made during the previous phases had a real basis, to allow for a concrete and precise evaluation of the wine's value. The tasting must be carried out with the utmost attention, to avoid making mistakes that could make the evaluations less reliable.” During the lesson, a gustatory-olfactory analysis and tasting of 2 wines will be carried out.

4. The fourth lesson will be dedicated to THE EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE OF THE GUIDED WINE TASTING.

During this lesson, we will go through all the phases of wine analysis and description together, but with the guidance of two expert sommeliers. We will discover and evaluate together the colors, aromas, and taste of the two selected wines, experiencing the emotion of tasting.
