Request InformationThe Art of the Blend with Roberto Cipresso
There is a point where technique becomes decision, and decision becomes style. This is where a blend is born: not merely a sum of wines, but a precise synthesis—much like a well-constructed strategy.
"Winemaker for One Day" is an auteur experience designed for companies seeking vision, teams aiming for synergy, groups of friends and colleagues wanting to share a memorable challenge, and families wishing to honor their roots.
In this masterclass, wine reveals itself in its highest form: the Spirit—an invisible and powerful essence that, like a lineage's name or a great brand's values, has the strength to survive those who created it. In a setting of excellence in Montalcino, you will unite your senses and intuition to create a blend that is the imprint of your story: a gesture of continuity that spans time and unites generations.
PHASE 1: The Creativity Laboratory
In this first phase, every participant enters the beating heart of wine creation. The station is a true technical atelier: five glasses, a personalized placemat, and the tools to chart your own sensory path.
Technical Reading
Under the guidance of Roberto Cipresso, one of the world's most celebrated enologists, you will learn to read the "assets" that compose the spirit of the blend. You won't just use your palate, but also the ability to imagine tomorrow :
The Soul and the Root: The component that provides freshness, identity, and the indissoluble bond with the territory.
Strength and Resilience: The element that confers power, structure, and solidity, representing the group's tenacity.
Harmony and Elegance: The variety that softens contrasts, unites diversities, and makes the sip round and welcoming.
Architecture and Depth: The constructive base that guarantees the longevity and survival of the work through the decades.
Design and Team Building
This is not just a tasting; it is a challenge of vision. Divided into teams, you will be called upon to define a style—vertical, broad, deep—and to calibrate the exact percentages to achieve it. Alongside Roberto and his winemakers, you will learn how a small variation can radically change the destiny of a wine.
The Technical Break: The Enchantment of Montalcino
Between creation and the verdict, there is a break of approximately 90 minutes to regenerate the senses and enjoy the territory. Options available upon request: a panoramic lunch at the Boccon DiVino restaurant , high-end catering in the winery, or a cultural visit among the treasures of Montalcino.
PHASE 2: The Market Test and Victory
Upon return, the rules change. Every participant sits individually for a blind tasting. This is the moment of impartiality: you will taste the blends created by the different teams and assign a score from 1 to 5.
The winning team is the one that was able not only to create a great wine but to convince "the market"—meaning the palates of their fellow colleagues. It is the final celebration of shared leadership and the capacity for synthesis.

Bring Your Vision to Life
"Winemaker for One Day is the ritual in which companies, teams, and families distill their vision to give life to a shared legacy. Under the guidance of Roberto Cipresso, you will not only learn a technical process but the art of reading the 'Spirit' of each component to recompose it into a blend that speaks of you across time. It is not a game of percentages: it is a challenge of deep listening—to understand what provides the energy of command, the structure of character, the volume of union, and the depth of lineage."
The Art of Assembly: Leadership, Vision, and Team Building
- Winemaker for One Day is an experience that combines pleasure and substance: it takes you inside a real decision, built on intuition and method, where different people must find a common balance and transform it into a recognizable result. Whether you come with a corporate team or a group of friends, the value is the same: you learn to choose together, to read differences, and to turn them into strength.
- What it truly leaves you (companies, groups, friends, colleagues):
- <strong>Deciding when you don't have all the answers: </strong>In blending, as in life and work, you don't immediately see "how it will end." You must imagine evolution, evaluate variables, and take a stand. It is natural training for choosing with more clarity, without being blocked by uncertainty.
- <strong>Finding a common language: </strong>Everyone perceives and describes wine in their own way. The experience teaches you to translate sensations into words understandable to everyone, to build a shared ground, and to better understand those next to you. It is surprising how much this changes the way a group dialogues.
- <strong>Negotiating without losing quality: </strong>Opinions are not enough; synthesis is required. The "right" blend is not the one that pleases one person, but the one that holds up: balance, identity, coherence. It is an elegant gym for comparison, listening, and intelligent compromise.
- <strong>Discovering how a group functions: </strong>Roles and talents emerge spontaneously: who leads, who analyzes, who harmonizes, who sees far ahead. It is a gentle but crystal-clear mirror of team dynamics—and often creates a new complicity, because it shows how necessary every contribution is.
- <strong>Testing the result without prejudice: </strong>The blind tasting is the moment of truth: what you built matters, not who proposed it. It is a powerful exercise in honesty, feedback, and meritocracy, making victory more authentic and the memory stronger.
