Everyone knows how to taste

Is wine tasting an art? A talent reserved for a few insiders? A code held by an enlightened elite? None of that. It is the exercise of our senses, accessible to all, because we all know how to taste. Starting from this foundation, it is about memorizing our experience: on one hand, experiencing the flavors, aromas, and vitality of a wine, and on the other hand, drawing from the sum of these memories and putting words to it all. It is therefore the application of an activity common to all. Tasting involves not only flavor, but also smell, touch, sight, and our sensitivity to the energy of a wine. The exercise of tasting is here exposed and developed, from the study of our physical senses to the concept of taste in various cultures. The end of the book is dedicated to practical work: step by step, in thirteen sessions, the tasting of all types of wines is approached in the form of simple and clear lessons.
