    Natural cork is much more than a closure system: it is a key ally in building the complexity of wine. But are we able to perceive it in the glass?

    This tasting offers a sensory and participatory experience to explore the role of cork in the evolution of wine. Through a comparison game, participants will taste young wines and their equivalents aged with natural cork, with the aim of identifying which current wines correspond to the evolved versions.

    The tasting is presented as a challenge: will we be able to recognize who is who? Will we be able to detect the mark of ageing, understand how complexity is built, and identify the role that cork plays in this process?
