Seminar led by Professor Attilio Scienza: 2,500 Years of History in a Glass

In the world of wine, few names carry as much weight and authority as Professor Attilio Scienza, a true icon of Italian and international wine academia.
He was recently welcomed by the Vicenza Delegation of the Federazione Italiana Sommelier Albergatori e Ristoratori (Fisar), which gave this leading figure a stage worthy of his reputation.

A Profile of Attilio Scienza
Attilio Scienza is more than an expert; he is a leading figure in viticulture and grapevine breeding.
His career at the University of Milan has seen him excel as both a brilliant lecturer and a prolific author whose publications have reshaped our understanding of grape varieties and the history of viticulture itself.

The Seminar and Its Interdisciplinary Approach
Professor Scienza’s recent seminar, with the evocative title “2,500 Years of History in a Glass”, highlighted his distinctive, interdisciplinary approach to research.
By bringing together anthropology, linguistics, palaeobotany, archaeology and molecular genetics, Scienza painted a fascinating picture of the relationship between people and vines over thousands of years.

A Journey Through the Centuries
With exceptional skill, Scienza guided the audience through a story spanning more than 2,500 years, from Greek vases depicting Dionysus to modern cultivation techniques.
This journey through time revealed the deep connections between climate change, human migration and the evolution of grape varieties.

The Final Tasting
The seminar concluded with a masterful tasting of eight wines selected specifically to explore the themes discussed, led by Fisar speaker Andrea da Ros.
From classics such as Moscato d’Asti to lesser-known gems such as Tonalite Teroldego Rotaliano, every sip added another layer of understanding to the story told by Professor Scienza.

Success and Satisfaction
Susanna Fabris, Fisar’s Vicenza delegate, celebrated the event’s outstanding success and highlighted her delegation’s meticulous work.
There was further satisfaction in persuading Professor Scienza to return to Vicenza for more in-depth discussions, reaffirming the value and importance of this memorable event.
