Event:
Step inside *Cantine Amastuola*, an award-winning *organic winery in Crispiano, Puglia, Italy*, for an unforgettable day of winemaking excellence. This exclusive behind-the-scenes visit offers a rare look at the artistry, science, and passion that go into crafting exceptional wines.
Join me as we taste *white, rosé, and red wines* at various stages of fermentation, discovering how flavors and aromas evolve before the wines are ready for bottling. You’ll also witness *blending trials*, where different wines are carefully combined to create balanced and expressive bulk wines. The experience continues with an inside look at the *Appassimento (Pantelleria) method*, a traditional winemaking technique that concentrates flavors by partially drying the grapes before fermentation. We also observe the fascinating process of *removing grape skins from the fermentation tanks*, an important step in producing high-quality red wines.
Thanks again to Teo for yet another educational experience.
