What is amphora aged wine? It is the traditional way of winemaking, fermenting and aging that dates back to the 15th century in the Eastern Mediterranean. Today’s producer specializes in amphora-aged wine and specifically uses concrete eggs to ferment and age most of their wines. I go over the differences between a steel tank, oak tank and clay/concrete tank to see the pros and cons of each one.
I also get into a Spanish public speaking workshop that I will be attending on December 22, 2024. It is an 8 hour workshop where Bernardo Jurado from Jurado Grupo Editorial will be teaching and helping us work on our oral communications skills in public speaking in Spanish. There are limited spots available and it is a great opportunity to learn and work on public speaking skills. It is a local event in Coconut Grove Miami, FL and I will be bringing wine to open at the end of the workshop. If you are interested in attending, please reach out to me via email info@nicoledipasquale.com and I will give you all the details.
Tune in now to try a red blend from Uco Deus (producer) and taste a wine with me that is aged in a concrete egg.
