Candlelight Wine: A tasting told through music

On 19 December, at Sala Galileo Galilei, it won't be sommeliers presenting the wines, but musicians. At the "Candlelight Wine" evening, five wines will be offered, each paired with a piece of classical music performed by a string quartet. Between sips, guests can explore how their perception of the drink changes.

One member of the quartet will explain the relationship between each wine and the accompanying music, whether it's due to character, intensity, or an unexpected contrast. By candlelight, excerpts from works by Vivaldi, Mozart, Beethoven, Fanny Mendelssohn and Ravel will be performed. Instead of the usual talk about flavour, the event invites guests to discover it through melody and rhythm.
