Wine tour Tuscany will open your eyes to learn a lot regarding wine. Besides the wine itself being the right one to age, the stopper, the bottle, and storage methods do affect how long the wine is going to take to age.
Determining how the wine is going to last is not a wine
experience that is a science. Most of the experts in wine tasting tend to
utilize reasoning that is very deductive based on the experience they had in
the past to determine the wines that age well.
Four traits are agreed on by most wine people on when wine
tasting to determine if it is going to last.
You have to remember that a wine that will age well in 10 years is
likely not going to taste well in its initial years.
The following are among the traits that are checked in an
age-worthy wine, including tannin structure,
high acidity, residual sugar, and low alcohol level.
Acidity
Wines that have an acidity that is high last longer. With the
aging of wine, it loses its acid, thereby flattening out. A wine that starts
with a lower acidity will not stay for a very long time, what it means that you
have to go for a wine that has a high acidity level if you want to keep it for
long.
Tannin
It acts as a structural component with red wines having more
tannins than white ones. You will need to go for red wines with high tannins
than those with a lower one. Tannin usually comes from skins and pips of the
grapes during the winemaking, as well as oak aging. A wine that has balanced
tannins will smooth out slowly over time with the breaking of the tannins.
