TASTING EX...PRESS - 13 Slovenian Wine Style & Quality Pursuits
Descrizione
WARNING: IN ORDER TO ATTEND THIS TASTING, BEFORE BOOKING / BUYING THE TICKET, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN ENTRY PASS FOR THE EXHIBITION VINITALY 2024 VALID FOR THE DAY IN WHICH THE TASTING TAKES PLACE.
Since 2000, the wine sector has embraced “style” as an all-powerful concept in wine marketing, to the detriment of “good old-fashioned quality” we had sworn by before. And yet, no one has served up a clear definition of style or quality respectively? In comparisons between 13 contemporary Slovenian wines, of local and international varieties, whose context and content will be defined in advance, we aim to display how winemakers have approached these notions in order to prove to the national and international public what they want, wish, think and know.
