"Wine is sunlight held together by water." – Galileo Galilei
It’s no surprise that wine would be described with such poetry and science by the man known for guiding natural philosophy into modern science. And the science is right! Wine is indeed the perfect combination of water from the terrain and natural rainfall, touched by the perfect amount of sunlight. The climate conditions, soil and processes of winemaking can tell you the whole story of what you are drinking. This is the art of the terroir.
The sixteenth century saw a rise in winemaking, common among all social classes – Galileo Galilei must have known a thing or two about our favorite drink. A toast to Galilei over a glass of sparkling wine.
