The event, which will take place on 28th of October, from 4.00 to 6.00 pm, in Auditorium III – Vinc by Cork Supply of PT Meeting Centre at FIL, in Parque das Nações, within the Evento Grandes Escolhas (Great choices event), will be guided by the sommelier Luís Pedro Cambra, from Largo do Paço (1 * Michelin), from Casa da Calçada, in Amarante, who will demonstrate how the various shapes of decanters can generate different sensations in wine tasting. During the initiative, Professor Manuel Maldo Ferreira, from Instituto Superior de Agronomia, will be present.
