Lectures and guided tastings

Live Wine 2015 guided tastings are conceived and lead by Samuel Cogliati. The choice of themes and producers is arbitrary and due to personal inclinations, availability of products, varied reasons. This means that we present these topics and these wines but we could have presented other ones just as well. No one should feel excluded, no one should feel “elected”.

Guided tastings last approximately 90 minutes between theoretical moment and actual tasting.

They are reserved exclusively to those participating at the Live Wine Fair and will be held in Sala Piranesi – Palazzo del Ghiaccio.
