Lenka –
Questo corso era fantastico! Posso consigliarlo a tutti. Irene ci ha raccontato tutta la storia del vino di Montepulciano e ci ha insegnato il vocabolario uttile per parlare del vino. Cristian ci ha spiegato il ciclo della vita della vite, produzione del vino e come degustare e abbinare con cibo il vino. Abbiamo visitato insieme una cantina storica e una cantina moderna, entrambe bellissime e con il vino ottimo. Era una esperienza indimenticabile. Vorrei certamente ritornare e fare un corso avanzato.
