WINE LESSONS

Experiential Learning . Italy is recognized world-wide for its great wines, one of which is Tuscany’s famous “Chianti Classic Gallo Nero” (black rooster). In addition to its impressive number of cer tified wines (IGT and DOC-G), Italy also boasts many outstanding non-traditional wines like Sassicaia, Le Pergole Torte or Tignanello, the so-called Super Tuscans, which are appreciated all over the world. Wine here is symbolic. It is rich, it is beautiful, and it is part of an ancient tradition. During the degustazione of several types of wine, we also cover how to select the appropriate glass, assess the colour and visual qualities of a wine, make an olfactory valuation, taste a wine correctly, determine a wine's components and match wine and food.

Our lessons can be combined with a trip to a vineyard, where it is possible to examine the vines and the grapes and discuss the impact of cultivation, weather, harvest and storage (from aluminum barrels to smoked wood “barrique”) on the flavor of the wine.
