Highlights
  • Piazza del Duomo - Experience a tasting of 3 Italian wines, each with a unique “body, weight, or structure”! What does this mean?

In wine terminology, body, weight, and structure are interchangeable terms. The body of a wine is one of the key aspects evaluated during a tasting.

How can you determine the weight of a wine?

During this multisensory tasting, we’ll uncover the secrets to distinguishing between light-bodied and full-bodied wines. By simply observing, we can get the first hints of its body by swirling the glass to gauge its “resistance”… Then, we proceed to the olfactory and gustatory examination to form a complete assessment.

We’ll sample 3 red wines from various regions across Italy, each with different body and intensity. Examples include: Alto Adige (Lagrein, Schiava), Piedmont (Barbera, Barolo), Lombardy (Pinot Noir), Tuscany (Sangiovese), Emilia Romagna (Lambrusco), Lazio (Cesanese del Piglio), Campania (Aglianico), Umbria (Sagrantino), Abruzzo (Montepulciano), Puglia (Negramaro, Primitivo), Sicily (Nero D’Avola, Nerello Mascalese).

This is a fun and educational tasting designed to introduce you to some of Italy’s red wine treasures while enhancing your wine knowledge.

Super knowledgeable and super fun! - We met Cornelia not knowing what to expect. What we might have expected was exceeded beyond all imagination. Cornelia is a high end wine sommelier with a real passion for sharing her knowledge. We learned so much (one of us was a seasoned wine drinker and the other very new to it) but never felt overwhelmed or patronised. What’s more we had a lot of fun as well. Really great value, high quality and great fun.
