Life of wine

Journey into the age of wine

Forty Italian companies in Rome for the second edition of Life of wine where the old vintages of the most representative labels of each winery are on stage.

3-7 pm: tasting with tasting tables
8.30 pm: aperitif with musical performance by IED Rome,
dinner to follow by Convivium Firenze with old and new vintages


The COMPANY STATIONS will be set up in the ancient rooms of Palazzo Rospigliosi, in an itinerary that, between white wines and great reds for aging, will embrace the Italy of wine from North to South. The stations will be chaired by the same producers, oenologists or agronomists who will taste the most representative label, the latest vintage on the market and two old vintages: a journey through time to understand how wine evolves, how it is refined and completed with years go by.

Afterwards, all the wines for tasting will become the protagonists, in common stalls chaired by sommeliers, of a dinner organized by CONVIVIUM FIRENZE (www.conviviumfirenze.it), a company specialized in haute cuisine and always active in the promotion of Tuscan agri-food excellence: a moment made even more special by the initiative "AT THE TABLE WITH MY PRODUCER", which will allow at the time of booking and subject to availability to choose which vigneron to be accompanied at the table.

For this second edition an important novelty will concern MUSIC thanks to the collaboration between Studio Umami and IED - European Institute of Design - in Rome. The students of the Sound Design course, coordinated by Filippo Manni, will take care of the sound reinforcement of the event, creating synaesthetic soundscapes that will accompany the guests on their gustatory journey: sounds and rhythms tailored to an event that intends to pay homage to wine, as much as history and culture of the Bel Paese.

The students of the Event Management course of IED Rome will instead support the organization and communication of the event on social networks.

The tasting samples will again this year be submitted to the judgment of a jury made up of eight national experts, collaborators of the most important sector guides, who at the end of the tastings will decide the wines that have most impressed and excited them: the producers will awarded a certificate of merit during a ceremony that will anticipate the aperitif.

LIFE OF WINE is an event aimed at professionals in the sector (restaurateurs, winemakers, buyers and journalists) but more generally to all wine lovers, unique of its kind, which brings products that are difficult to find on the market in the glass: an appointment designed so that even in Italy , as already happens in other countries, aging becomes culture and the ability to know how to evaluate and appreciate it is the best way to approach wines with a long journey.
