Stephanie and Val –
Thank you, Sara, for your enjoyable and informative introduction to the world of vino nobile in Montepulciano. Your careful adaptation of the course to our language needs was excellent. Moreover, your additional information about the artistic and cultural contexts of the area was inspiring. We very much hope to return in the future!

Questo corso era fantastico! Posso consigliarlo a tutti. Irene ci ha raccontato tutta la storia del vino di Montepulciano e ci ha insegnato il vocabolario uttile per parlare del vino. Cristian ci ha spiegato il ciclo della vita della vite, produzione del vino e come degustare e abbinare con cibo il vino. Abbiamo visitato insieme una cantina storica e una cantina moderna, entrambe bellissime e con il vino ottimo. Era una esperienza indimenticabile. Vorrei certamente ritornare e fare un corso avanzato.
