Vertical & Horizontal Tastings Defined

VERTICAL TASTING:
All the wines tasted are from DIFFERENT vintages but from the SAME wine type and winery. Eg.: First a 1999 Luciano Bruni Brunello di Montalcino; Second, 1998 Luciano Bruni Brunello di Montalcino; and third a 1997 Luciano Bruni Brunello di Montalcino.

HORIZONTAL TASTING:
All wines tasted are from the SAME vintage, say 1997, but DIFFERENT wineries. Eg.: First a 1997 Altesino Brunello di Montalcino; second a 1997 Luciano Bruni Brunello di Montalcino; and third a 1997 Antonio Sanguinetti Brunello di Montalcino.
