Full description

Think you can guess a wine with your eyes closed?

Our blind tasting is the challenge for you: you will be served 5 wines from theAzienda Vitivinicola Pietro Cassina previously described during the winery visit and, if you manage to guess at least 3 of them, you will win a bottle of wine!

Anexperience of over 1 hour, to learn about wine in (and with) all the senses!

What we will do

The appointment is 5 minutes before the selected time at theAzienda Vitivinicola Pietro Cassina in Lessona (BI). We will be welcomed by the guide who will accompany us on a discovery of this surprising Biellese reality!

The experience will begin outside with a panoramic view of the vineyard: in this setting, the guide will tell the story of the winery as well as the particular territory, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We will then move inside for the visit to the cellar: we will walk among the steel tanks, delving into the winemaking process, and then reach the scenic barrel cellar where fermentation takes place. The exterior and interior visit will last approximately 45 minutes.

We will continue through a passage where a waterfall flows, an innovative idea of the owner-architect to preserve the humidity of the cellar. We will then enter the tasting room, nicknamed the'starry room': the ceiling is in fact illuminated by a series of lights reminiscent of the most poetic stars, under which we will toast in company!

And now it is time for our blind tasting: the guide will serve five glasses of house labels, previously described during the visit. The 'game' will consist ofguessing at least 3 labels, specifying the vintage, and thus winning a bottle of wine! Everything will be accompanied by a mixed platter of typical products, such as the Biellese pallet and other delicacies.

The experience will last about one and a half hours in total.
