How to enjoy the tasting experience

The tasting unfolds progressively, starting with pure aromatic intensity and gradually moving towards a soft, spiced finale.

1. Opening bite: the truffle artistic candies

The Foscaris artistic candies serve as an elegant sensory appetizer. Because truffle, in its concentrated and volatile form, immediately activates the sense of smell — the fastest sense in triggering emotional responses — this first step is especially powerful. According to neurogastronomy, a strong initial aroma “switches on” the brain, increasing curiosity and preparing the palate for more complex flavours. It is a scenographic, surprising and refined gesture.

2. The heart of the tasting: the truffle risotto

Next, prepare the truffle risotto and let its creaminess envelop you. The earthy, velvety notes evoke sensations of warmth, forest and intimacy, continuing the experience initiated by the opening bite.

3. Warm, enveloping moment: the Torta Leön

Afterwards, the Torta Leön introduces a deep aromatic symphony: toasted notes from Leön beer, dark chocolate, cocoa beans and coffee. This combination of bitter, sweet and roasted tones stimulates the brain areas linked to comfort and emotion, creating the warm, comforting sensation typical of winter desserts.

4. Golden finale: the black tea with saffron and cardamom

Finally, complete the journey with a cup of black tea infused with saffron and cardamom. While saffron adds elegance and brightness, cardamom contributes balsamic freshness. This meditative finish is perfect for harmonising the palate and embracing the Christmas atmosphere.
