The term “bouquet” in the wine field refers to all the aromas and perfumes<\/strong> that a wine develops during its aging. But what does it mean exactly? Let\u2019s discover it together in a journey through aromas and fragrances capable of telling a story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

WHAT IS \u201cTHE BOUQUET\u201d?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The bouquet is the set of aromas that develop during the process of maturation and aging<\/strong> of wine. It is the result of complex chemical transformations<\/strong> that occur over time, influenced by factors such as the type of grape<\/strong> used, the terroir, the fermentation<\/strong> process, the type of cask<\/strong>, the aging<\/strong> time and the vinification<\/strong> techniques. Hence, the bouquet is not only an indicator of the quality of wine, but it also represents its history<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It can be distinguished as primary, secondary and tertiary<\/strong>. The primary bouquet comes from the grapes themselves, the secondary one develops during fermentation and aging, while the tertiary is the one which emerges with bottle ageing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, it is a symphony of scents that emerge as the wine evolves<\/strong>. Also, the exposure of wine to air through the oxidation process, can bring significant changes, often conferring characteristics of hazelnut, almond or leather aromas. The bouquet of a wine, therefore, is dynamic<\/strong> and can change over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

HOW IS IT PERCEIVED?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the tasting, it is important to “oxygenate”<\/strong> the wine by making it swirl in the glass. This allows the release of volatile compounds responsible for perfumes, making the bouquet even more evident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most common aromatic descriptors include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Floral notes<\/strong>: rose, violet, chamomile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Fruity notes<\/strong>: cherry, peach, berries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Spicy notes<\/strong>: vanilla, cinnamon, pepper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Earthy notes<\/strong>: leather, tobacco, wood.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    To better understand the richness and variety of the bouquet, we just need to take two of our most iconic wines<\/strong>. Both representing excellence and offering extraordinarily complex and intriguing bouquets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    San Domenico, Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    A typical wine from Valtellina made with Nebbiolo grapes, the perfect example of a rich and charming bouquet. Sforzato San Domenico is distinguished by its notes of ripe fruits<\/strong>, such as plum and cherry, accompanied by delicate nuances of leather and cocoa<\/strong>, which emerge thanks to its particular production technique. A complex bouquet that expresses the strength and elegance<\/strong> of Valtellina.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Riserva La Madonnina, Chianti Classico DOCG<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    A masterpiece of Sangiovese, its bouquet is an explosion of aromas: black cherry, blackberry, violet<\/strong> and a touch of tobacco<\/strong> blend harmoniously with notes of vanilla and toasted wood<\/strong>. It is a wine that represents the balance between power and refinement<\/strong>, typical of great Tuscan wines.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    And now it\u2019s up to you: pour a glass of wine, bring it closer to your nose and let yourself be carried away by the scents<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
