Yes, it\u2019s all a question of \u2018back and forth\u2019 with yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Here, then, are the<strong> four essential questions<\/strong> to choose the right wine at the right time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who will I drink the wine in question with?<\/strong><br \/>\nA decisive factor when choosing wine is the context of an evening, and even more so the company, which can vary considerably \u2013 just think of a business meeting or a dinner for two.<br \/>\nIn these two very antithetical cases, the wine, as the common thread between those present, can convey so much and can even help or hinder the situation. A wine that melts hearts, thanks to its warmth or intoxicating rich, <strong>red notes, is a perfect ally against the shyness of a romantic date;<\/strong> just as a fresh, lively white can aid concentration during a business dinner, which certainly requires an alert mind and clear ideas.<br \/>\nObviously, besides these two examples there is a wealth of other possibilities: <strong>an aperitif with friends, which should be enlivened by something sparkling,<\/strong> or even a post-match drink, which may require a light, playful and tasty wine such as a macerated white.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What time of day will I drink the wine?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe time of day is important when making the correct choice of what to drink. It isn\u2019t always possible to embark on long, relaxing Sunday lunches, due to short times and delicate stomachs, so it\u2019s important to be able to roughly divide wines by time slot. For the pre-lunch aperitif: quick, light and cheerful wines, such as Charmat-method sparkling wine or whites with light gradations. For lunch, you can raise the bar a little: structured whites or slender reds accompany the meal and resolve any doubts. With a snack or as an evening aperitif, we return to something along the same lines as in the morning, but with greater intensity \u2013 Champagne is perfect. <strong>Dinner, on the other hand, requires a certain persistence and a pleasant intensity, giving us the go-ahead for persistent and structured wines.<\/strong> For after dinner or a nightcap, there\u2019s nothing better than a nice reflective wine which takes time to tell its story \u2013 but if we\u2019re in a hurry, we can spoil ourselves with a sweet dessert wine, perhaps to accompany a biscuit or one last piece of cheese.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What will I eat with the wine?<\/strong><br \/>\nEven the choice of pairing changes the cards on the table: we always play by contrast.<br \/>\nFor example, when eating a fried dish, a sparkling wine will help cleanse the palate. Dishes with sweet flavours, such as pasta, pumpkin, <strong>toast or pizza, are paired with a wine with good sapidity;<\/strong> conversely, a savoury dish needs the sweetness of a soft wine, perhaps with notes of flowers and ripe fruit. The important thing is that it\u2019s not too sapid \u2013 remember that alcohol helps degrease the palate after greasy or oily dishes.<br \/>\nFinally, it\u2019s only with desserts that we match flavours, sweet with sweet, so we pair them with a dessert wine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much do I want to spend?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe expense is an integral part of the decision. It\u2019s a personal evaluation, but it needs to be made before you choose, so as to narrow the field and allow you to focus on the perfect wine.<\/p>\n<p>Two last tips: <strong>always read the label carefully,<\/strong> as it bears essential information, and <strong>ask for advice from those who work in the field.<\/strong> They\u2019re sure to be happy to guide customers through the Fantastic World of Wine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ilaria Giardini<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>for Tenuta Liliana<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1177&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; title=&#8221;The perfect wine&#8221; link=&#8221;http:\/\/www.tenutaliliana.com\/en\/member&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1642239949461{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]You don\u2019t have to be a sommelier to choose the perfect wine \u2013 what matters is knowing how to ask the right questions.
