The book, “The Breath of wine", takes us on a fascinating journey into the invisible world of the wine aromas to discover the secrets of its beauty, which was presented to the public on November 10th in Milan (Westin Palace, Republic Square, number 20, in collaboration with the AIS sommeliers in Milan), authored by Luigi Moio, Professor of Enology at the University degli Studi Federico II in Naples, President of the International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV) and wine producer of the company Quintodecimo in Mirabella Eclano, Avellino.

“It is a fact that wine is attracting more and more fans and a quite diverse audience. Wine has always had an immensely seductive power on man”; Moio explained to WineNews, “which can be primarily attributed to the sphere of emotions. In recent years, considering that wine is culture and the expression of local traditions, its appeal has increased also its image. In particular, I’m referring to its aroma, because a wine that has no scent is nothing more than a simple dose of alcohol. Wine is essentially elegant, has infinite class, and its elegance is waiting and moderation. Wine is the time it takes a vine to bear fruit. A good wine must be savored slowly and it is not necessary to drink a large quantity to appreciate it in all its nuances”. Luigi Moio
