Blind Tasting At Pietraserena | Sensory Experience | 5 Wines
Arrigoni Wine Family - Pietraserena
Experience information
The blind tasting is a sensory experience that invites you to explore the world of wines in a completely new way, sharpening your senses and discovering the hidden nuances of each glass.
Like any other tasting journey, the experience is preceded by a guided tour of the winery and vineyards. The journey includes tasting 5 wines, specially covered to hide their identity.
During the tasting, participants will be invited to describe their sensory perceptions and focus entirely on the aromas, flavors, and sensations that each wine evokes, then trying to match each glass to one of the types produced by the Winery.
Our winemaker will provide insights and stories about the wines tasted, enriching the tasters' wine knowledge and revealing the secrets behind each bottle.
Refunds and cancellations are acceptable no later than 48 hours before the start of the experience.
Host information
San Gimignano is a hill town in Tuscany located southwest of Florence. Surrounded by 13th-century walls, the focal point of its historic center is Piazza della Cisterna, a triangular square flanked by medieval houses. The skyline of medieval towers is dominated by the stone Torre Grossa. In San Gimignano, Pietraserena extends on both sides of the hill, towards the North-Northeast.
Since 1966, the company's estates have experienced constant territorial expansion, starting from the initial approximately 7 hectares to reach the current extension of about 42 hectares. Being in the heart of the Municipality of San Gimignano, the main grape variety at the beginning was naturally Vernaccia di San Gimignano, the first wine to obtain DOC status in Italy. Subsequently, Sangiovese was planted, the main grape variety of Tuscany and all of Italy, which in our company gives life to our most representative “crus,” Caulio and Poggio al Vento.
Each vineyard, defined and circumscribed, has its distinctive name, from which we draw the grapes that are vinified separately. Once the wine is obtained, various blends are made that have always characterized our bottles.
