Possibilia Editore and Galli Enoteca present:

MINERALITY

In search of the philosopher's stone

WITH SAMUEL COGLIATI

How is minerality defined, what is its origin, and how is it grasped, gustatively, in a wine?

THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 2023

From 8 pm to 11 pm 

Pescheria Foro Annonario Senigallia

In tasting:

12 fine wines, including prestigious appellations and old vintages, chosen by Samuel Cogliati Gorlier and Guido Galli (Galli Enoteca Senigallia) specifically to enhance the topic at hand and to understand what minerality is in wine. A tricky "reflection hurdle" led by Samuel Cogliati Gorlier, writer, editor and independent popularizer.

Wines will be served strictly blind to preserve independence of judgment and enhance the pleasure of tasting!

From rock to glass

How is minerality defined, what is its origin and how is it grasped, gustatively, in a wine?

Just fashionable rhetoric, lexical byzantinism, or also a set of concrete data to be considered, if not as a point of arrival, at least as a basis for a circumstantial reflection on the concept?

There are wine types and appellations of origin that - rightly or wrongly - are commonly reputed for the minerality of their nectars. Is this a reality? Is it a prerogative of certain territories or certain grape varieties? Or on the contrary, does the concept and idea itself deserve to be questioned? Thanks to the contribution of technical considerations of scholars who have been thinking about this issue for a long time, and blind tasting, we will try to venture into this complex topic.
