The event is enriched with the announcement of an official presentation to the press , which will see the organizing associations as protagonists of an all-round discussion on the future of natural wine, and with two masterclasses designed to get a close-up understanding of the natural wine scene.
On Sunday at 12.00 , Angiolino Maule and Gabriele Da Prato , presidents of VinNatur and Vi.Te. respectively, will accompany those present in the debate Confronti Naturali , a reflection on the potential of oenology which operates without the use of artificial substances, also involving the producers of the two associations.
The scheduled masterclasses will be held at 16.00 . On Sunday 12 February the appointment O2 – The relationship with oxygen will be staged, where it will be explained how contact with the air can ennoble good wines. The tasting will take place blindly with a parallel comparison of three labels that have faced a different path with the air, before arriving in the glass. On the other hand, Monday 13 February will be the time for SO2 – The sulphite knot , an opportunity to explore whether and how sulfur dioxide affects the perception of the flavors and aromas of a wine and whether this can give different expressive facets and organoleptic. For an accurate evaluation, Vi.Na.Ri. will offer a blind tasting of three wines produced and bottled, with and without added sulphites: a direct comparison that starts from references having the same origin and production method, with the only variation being the quantity of SO2 present in them.
