Reading
Books that talk about wine
One good read is "Il diavolo e la rosumata" by Sveva Casati Modignani. The author recalls her childhood during World War II. Rosumata is a kind of eggnog made of egg yolk, sugar and red wine. Alongside the memories, the book weaves in the recipes and flavors the protagonist discovered as a child.
Estate
Visit the vineyard
To learn the history of wine, start from the plant. A tour of the vineyard is a unique and fun experience: you discover the history of the vines, the climate, the territory and the grape varieties. Afterward, taste the wines in the cellar and learn about their production and food pairing.
At home
Creativity with bottles
Once the wine is gone, glass bottles can be recycled in many creative ways. Use them as candlesticks, as vases, or turn them into lamps with lights.
