Imagine crossing the threshold of a welcoming shop in the heart of the picturesque historic center of Arezzo, Tuscany. The scent of olive oil, sauces and artisanal jams caresses your nostrils as you enter, and the friendly atmosphere of the shop makes you immediately feel at ease. Welcome to a multi-sensory tasting that will explore Tuscan delights, a culinary journey that will involve the palate, smell and sight.
First Act: The Wine The tasting begins with the wine, because in Tuscany, wine is a deep-rooted tradition. An expert sommelier welcomes you and guides you through a selection of prestigious Tuscan labels. The glass resonates with the ruby red reflections of Chianti, and the fruity aroma with notes of cherry makes you anticipate the flavors that will follow. The mouth is surrounded by a velvety texture and soft tannins. Continue with a Brunello di Montalcino, the Tuscan red wine par excellence, which lulls you in an embrace of elegance, with hints of ripe red fruits and vanilla. These wines pair perfectly with Tuscan cuisine, and the expert sommelier explains how to pair them with your favorite dishes.
Second Act: Olive Oil After exploring the treasures of the Tuscan vineyards, it’s time to immerse yourself in the world of olive oil. A scent of freshly cut grass and fresh olives envelops the air as you taste extra virgin olive oils from various local olive groves. The first sip of oil is an explosion of freshness, with herbaceous and spicy notes. Each oil variant tells a different story, from the delicacy of the Leccino-based Tuscan oil to the peppery nuances of an oil produced with Moraiolo. The oil sommelier explains how to recognize the nuances and scents of each oil and how to use them to enhance the flavors of the dishes.
Third Act: Sauces After exploring the world of olive oil, you immerse yourself in the richness of Tuscan sauces. A table laden with crunchy Tuscan crostini awaits you, and an expert chef introduces you to sauces prepared with passion and high-quality ingredients. The fresh tomato sauce releases an enveloping scent of basil and toasted garlic. The first forkful gives you an explosion of flavour, with the sweetness of the ripe tomatoes mixing with the freshness of the olive oil. The wild boar sauce is a riot of wild flavours, with a rich and tasty consistency that honors the Tuscan tradition. The porcini mushroom sauce makes you feel immersed in the forest, with its earthy and enveloping flavour. The chef explains the origins and preparation techniques of these sauces, and teaches you how to combine them with the different varieties of fresh Tuscan pasta.

Taste the fig jam, with its enveloping sweetness and touch of cinnamon. The orange marmalade transports you to a blossoming citrus grove, with its liveliness and perfectly balanced acidity.
