The method

Learn how to taste wine

When you visit Tenuta Torciano, you will learn how to taste wine with 4 basic steps. These wine tasting tips are the same ones sommeliers practice to refine their palates and sharpen their ability to recall wines. It's a method used by professionals, but simple enough to understand, and useful to anyone who wants to improve their wine palate.

1

Look

A visual inspection of the wine under neutral lighting.

2

Smell

Identify aromas through orthonasal olfaction, for example breathing through your nose.

3

Taste

Assess both the taste structure - sour, bitter, sweet - and the flavors that come from retronasal olfaction, breathing with the back of your nose.

4

Think and conclude

Develop a complete profile of the wine, one you can store in your long-term memory.
