This is a rather straightforward exercise, where we go through the process of using two specialised corpora (one in English and one in Italian, constructed downloading appropriate texts from the web) to help us choose between two possible English equivalents for a term in Italian.

The term in question is temperatura ambiente, which appeared in the following extract from the website of a wine-producing Italian farm:

Per cogliere appieno le qualità di questo vino si consiglia di servirlo a temperatura ambiente, stappando la bottiglia un'ora prima di mescere.

First of all, turn to the next page to briefly consider a concordance for temperatura ambiente from the Italian component of our comparable Italian-English wine tasting corpus.
