This masterclass is a journey through heroic viticulture and its wines, authentic expressions of extreme places and of the knowledge and dedication of those who cultivate them.

Through the tasting, each wine tells the story of the relationship between territory, vine and human intervention, showing how the most challenging conditions can give rise to identity, character and uniqueness.

Speaker: Celestino Gaspari

Ci sono vini che il tempo custodisce, e vini che del tempo diventano memoria. La Mattonara nasce soltanto nelle annate più grandi, da vigne vecchie e da grappoli scelti con cura quasi silenziosa. Tre mesi di appassimento naturale, dieci anni in legno e un ultimo anno in bottiglia: un’attesa che scolpisce il carattere. Nel calice, la ciliegia e la prugna lasciano spazio a pepe, liquirizia e cacao. È l’eleganza di un Amarone che non si beve soltanto: si contempla, si ascolta, si ricorda.

Speaker: Eros Teboni

Weingut Nikolaihof: un pezzo di storia della viticoltura biodinamica Europa.
Un viaggio attraverso le cuvee più importanti della cantina, per raccontare e capire l’importanza dei suoi diversi terroir, stili produttivi e metodi di affinamento.

Speaker: Marco Sciarrini

Non tutti sanno che sotto le vigne dei Castelli Romani si trovano le pendici del vulcano più antico del Lazio. A pochi chilometri tra il cratere spento e il mare, Gaffino coltiva le sue vigne, e il vino ne porta il segno: minerale, verticale, diverso da quello che ci si aspetta.
Sette vini che raccontano un'azienda che non si accontenta di fare "un buon vino", vini pensati per chi vuole capire cosa succede quando un terreno vulcanico incontra vitigni autoctoni lavorati senza scorciatoie. Si chiude con il Roma Rosso e il Roma Bianco, la denominazione nella sua forma più pura, il punto d'arrivo di un percorso che parte da lontano.
Una passeggiata dello stile Gaffino, dal più personale al più classico, per chi vuole capire perché la Roma DOC, qui, ha un carattere che altrove non trova.

Speakers: Giulio Bava, Mauro Giacomo Bertolli

It represents a family heritage, a crop rooted here since time immemorial. Yet the lives of the Komjanc family—rooted alongside these vines—also unfold over time; in the place they inhabit, they truly "live together."
