wine tasting (Part 1)
Wine tasting is a complex sensory experience, involving sight, smell, taste and touch. Before 1970, the practice was characterized by a wide variety of glasses, each tied to specific regions and producers, making tasting a highly subjective and messy experience. The introduction of the ISO, with its standardized glass, brought order to the landscape, emphasizing the distinctive qualities of each wine.
Regardless of your level of experience, acquiring fundamental knowledge and sharpening your senses can transform every tasting into an unforgettable experience. Wine tasting is an emotional and personal journey, significantly influenced by the experience gained. However, tasting is accessible to everyone, representing an effective method to exercise the senses and recognize specific aromas, scents and sensations.
The tasting ritual follows a precise order, starting with the observation of the color, clarity and consistency of the wine. Next, we move on to the olfactory analysis, distinguishing the primary, secondary and tertiary aromas2. Finally, we come to the taste, where sweetness, flavor and other sensations are evaluated. Each phase of this process contributes to narrating the history, character and peculiarities of the wine under examination.
