Uncorking a bottle is more than just a gesture<\/strong>-it is a ritual <\/strong>that celebrates togetherness, the joy of sharing<\/strong> a unique moment.<\/p>\n\n

Wine, with its history and aromatic notes, becomes the accomplice of your romantic evening<\/strong>, a toast to your happiness.<\/p>\n\n

As Apuleius said<\/p>\n\n

\n

The first glass is for thirst, the second for joy, the third for passion.<\/p>\nApuleio<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

Of the fourth it is better to omit<\/strong> because it leads to madness.<\/p>\n\n

Now, the Valentine’s Day<\/a> goal is to reach the third glass, right? Perhaps traveling between bottles, that is, reaching the coveted “pleasure” and enjoying the enoic richness<\/strong> of a land, the Langhe, that is unparalleled in terms of quantity of grape varieties and quality of wines. <\/p>\n\n

So follow our mini-guide to the third glass of Valentine’s Day and don’t forget the golden rule: never think of overdoing<\/strong> it but having fun!<\/p>\n\n

Zero Glass<\/strong>There is no such thing as the right wine<\/h2>\n\n

The first rule of a guide to the “right” wine should be that there is no such thing as the right wine<\/strong>. That’s right. <\/p>\n\n

There is your creativity and intuition<\/strong>, your ability to read the situation and choose the bottle that represents you at that moment. If the “right wine” (or the“aphrodisiac wine<\/a>“) existed, perhaps there would be no guidebooks (and here we have made one with some particularly “spicy” pairings<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

So, the first rule of our mini-guide is: be yourself<\/strong> in choosing the wine, be inspired, tempted, fascinated by it.<\/p>\n\n

Choose it according to how you feel<\/strong>, who you are facing<\/a>. Investigate, if you can, tastes <\/strong>and propensities<\/strong>, desires and velleities; wine amplifies who you are, it cannot replace your personality. <\/p>\n\n

Glass One<\/strong>Upside down aperitif<\/h2>\n\n

If not on Valentine’s Day, when? When will you get the chance to surprise your heart’s diner with a special effect<\/strong>? Now, while staying true to yourself, a start with a bang is always better than one on the down low. <\/p>\n\n

Then set the table for a reverse start and pull a Moscato d’Asti DOCG<\/a> out of the fridge.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

You heard right. On the table must be aged cheeses<\/strong>, cooked salami<\/strong>, roasted hazelnuts<\/strong>, butter, and green anchovies<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n

The incredible contrast between the sweetness<\/strong> of Moscato d’Asti and the saltiness <\/strong>of the aperitif, having overcome initial perplexity, will melt in you the desire to move on to a second glass. Insured! <\/p>\n\n

P.S.<\/strong> If the choice of Moscato d’Asti Docg destabilizes your other half, play a cultural card. In the Middle Ages, musky wines-that is, aromatic and sweet, just like Moscato d’Asti-were considered the ultimate in love<\/strong>. Their enveloping flavor, reminiscent of freshly picked grapes, was considered the best of aphrodisiacs, capable of predisposing the senses to passion. <\/p>\n
