Choose your wine online.

In recent years, the sale of online products, including wine, has undergone a considerable increase, thanks to the certain advantages that there are, compared to the traditional way of purchasing. Even the food and wine sector has been affected by the phenomenon and, in particular, the sites where it is possible to buy a good wine online are now numerous.

However, it is necessary to know at least the basic principles of wine production in order to make a careful choice.

Wine production has its antique traditions going back to very ancient times.

In fact, wine is already present in ancient Greece and you can find it in the legends, where it is described as nectar of the Gods, a fine drink reserved for Zeus and his guests.

Historical finds show that, over five thousand years ago, there were already large-scale productions and numerous references are also found in the Bible, where Noah would mark the beginning of its diffusion, planting a vineyard and drinking until getting drunk.

Over time, its production has been developed and perfected, allowing the creation of products that consent the tasting of delicate nuances of flavour.

All in all, this production is based on simple principles: it consists in the alcoholic fermentation of fresh grapes or grape must.

The particular palatability of the wine comes from the innumerable particles that are present both in the skin and in the grape. In fact, phenolic acids, which determine the aroma, the flavones, responsible for the color, the tannins and other aromatic substances that determine the division of the wine into a young, mature and aged wine, can be found.

Most of the wines are consumed within the year following the vinification, while some types, endowed with a high quantity of polyphenols, alcohols and acids, undergo aging which generally varies from 3 to 5 years.

Afterwards, the wine begins to deteriorate and is no longer drinkable.

Great choice also for what concerns the type: White wine is ideal to accompany dishes such as appetizers, first courses of soups, second courses of fish, eggs or white meats, cheeses and desserts based on fruit.

Red wine, instead, goes well with meat sauce, red meat, spicy cheeses and dried fruit.
