Tasting
Everything can be understood only when its history is known.
Why cultivate that? Why the harvest at this or that time? Why search for a particular feature?
Wine and viticulture have many of these stories and questions, from that of the peoples who handed them down, to that of the winemaker and oenologist who inherited their spirit.
We invite you to get to know, but above all to understand wine with us in a journey guided by your curiosity.
