The concept of terroir

The popularization of the concept of terroir justifies the realization of a course where the scientific arguments that support it, will be presented, as well as their interpretations without experimental basis. On the other hand, the methods of tasting that make it possible to assess this concept must be adapted as conventional methodologies are insufficient to do so. In this way, it will be possible to understand the use of grape varieties and winemaking technologies that highlight or neutralize the effect of the terroir. The course has an essentially practical basis with tasting of at least 10 wines in the 4 sessions.

Objetives

-  Understand the concept of terroir and its multiple interpretations;

- Understand the different tasting methods and how they condition the evaluation of a wine;

- Sensorially perceive the different styles of wines and the change in consumption trends.
