Old vines: the paradigm between the romantic and the rational
The wine industry holds the belief that old vines produce higher quality wines, with low yields but capable of producing grapes full of character and expression of the terroir. However, we wonder if this is merely a perception based on the romanticism of tradition. During the presentation, a blind tasting will take place to explore this question. Through sensory analysis, various factors will be evaluated: Are these wines truly of greater aromatic complexity, structure, or depth than those from younger vines? Or, on the contrary, could the differences be subtle, even imperceptible? What is truth, and what is myth?
