The sound of Champagne

What makes Champagne so unique and inimitable? What are the historical and production aspects that have made it universally known to the point of being considered the sparkling wine par excellence? These and other questions Pietro Palma's book The Sound of Champagne seeks to answer.

Producing a good Champagne requires attention, painstaking work and a long series of vineyard and cellar operations designed to create harmony and pleasantness for our palate. The same harmony that characterizes an appreciated and exciting melody or song. 

The Sound of Champagne, through a simple and informative narrative, describes the key points that characterize and shape the legendary French sparkling wine, sequences them, and explains in detail their importance in the final economy of the product that will reach fans around the world. 

Fully appreciating a Champagne also means knowing its history, particularities and reasons for distinction. Only in this way will tasting provide emotions that go beyond the organoleptic component alone, taking the tasting experience to a higher level of fullness and understanding.

A book to delve into the fantastic world of Champagne, suitable both for those approaching the subject for the first time and for those who are already familiar with the subject but wish to find new insights and ideas for further study. The preface is by Master of Wine Gabriele Gorelli.

Pietro Palma (Prato, 1974) Ambassadeur du Champagne for Italy 2018 and Chevalier de l'Ordre des Coteaux de Champagne, has been involved in wine for nearly 20 years as a sommelier, trainer and wine shop owner.

From Gorelli's preface: "Champagne does not grow on clouds, but from the ground. It does not feed on fairy tales, but on water, the energy of the sun and mineral salts. It is not born thanks to sudden strokes of genius, but is the result of painstaking work planned down to the smallest detail.  
Peter knows this well and patiently guides us by bringing champagne close to the land where it belongs, close to all of us. He does this without fluttering, taking us down a path less traveled, but no less fascinating. Do not look up in the air, but wear comfortable shoes, eyes fixed down, on the path: the journey begins."
