Welcome to Episode 1310; Wine influencers: evolution, prospects and impact on wine lovers and market Welcome to Wine2Wine Business Forum 2021 Series. The sessions are recorded and uploaded on Italian Wine Podcast. wine2wine is an international wine business forum, held annually in Verona Italy since 2014. The event is a key reference point for wine producers and a diverse variety of wine professionals eager to develop and grow their wine business worldwide. About this Session: From the columns by Luigi Veronelli to the photos, videos and podcasts on the main social platforms: the figure of the “wine communicator” has seen over the years a profound evolution in characteristics, language, modes and means of expression to tell the vast and complex world of wine to the public of wine lovers. Up to the explosion, during the months of lockdown, of the phenomenon of “wine influencers”. If the backgrounds are often very different and the skills on the world of wine are more or less profound, wine influencers undoubtedly have in common enormous communicative skills and the ability to intercept the curiosity of young wine lovers, eager to learn a little more about wine and wine pairings in a simple and fast way. But who are the “wine influencers” today? And how do they impact consumers and the market? In response, the session will retrace the evolution of wine influencers from the 1980s to the present day, analyze the use of new media and communication tools, and trace the profile of new wine lovers and their relationship with wine influencers, to understand what is their actual impact on the market.

Welcome to Episode 1310; Why you should be investing in native digital content Welcome to Wine2Wine Business Forum 2021 Series. The sessions are recorded and uploaded on Italian Wine Podcast. wine2wine is an international wine business forum, held annually in Verona Italy since 2014. The event is a key reference point for wine producers and a diverse variety of wine professionals eager to develop and grow their wine business worldwide. About this Session: While different marketing campaigns have different goals, most share one thing in common, no matter the medium. The campaign runs, people did or didn’t see it, and that’s a wrap. Native advertising in the form of content marketing is different. Although a campaign may have a defined ‘window,’ most publishers who offer this type of marketing campaign allow the content to live on their website or podcast feed indefinitely. This allows well crafted campaigns to continue to reach new audiences for months, even years. We’ll explore this phenomenon through two mini case studies: Fontanafredda’s Barolo-centric campaign with VinePair in 2016 that still draws in thousands of new viewers every month, and E&J Gallo’s sponsorship of VinePair’s Wine 101 podcast. About the Speaker Adam Teeter Adam Teeter is the cofounder and CEO of VinePair, the most read publication about wine, beer and spirits in America. Since founding the publication in 2014 Adam has become recognized as an authority on how to make the drinks world accessible to everyone, and speaks regularly about the ever evolving media landscape. Prior to founding VinePair he was the head of growth and marketing for the news and politics publication Tablet Magazine. He is an adjunct professor at the Columbia School of Journalism, teaching courses on digital media, and the winner of the Left Bank Bordeaux Cup American Wine-Tasting Championship. He holds an MBA from NYU Stern with a specialty in Marketing and Entrepreneurship and a BA in Journalism from Emory University.

Josh loves putting things together — websites, words, legos, and cases of wine. Prior to VinePair, Josh spent a few years helping to build Ez Texting, an NYC startup, into the leading provider of text messaging services to small businesses. Ez Texting was acquired in late 2012, by CallFire. Josh also co-founded MobileSmarts, one of the earliest (as in monophonic ringtones) and largest distributors of ringtones in North America.

Welcome to Episode 1307 in which Marc Millon interviews Piero Mastroberardino of the Azienda Agricola Mastroberadino. This is part 1 of a 2 part episode. More about the winery: The Mastroberardino family has lived in the socio-cultural context of wine for over two centuries, based on the most reliable historical reconstructions. The first traces of the presence in Irpinia date back to the Bourbon land registry, in the mid- eighteenth century, a time in which the family elected the village of Atripalda as its headquarters, where the ancient cellars are still located, and from there originated a lineage that linked indissolubly their fate to the cult of wine. Since then, ten generations have conducted the family business, amid ups and downs, as always happens in the stories of family businesses of more ancient origin. More about Piero Mastroberardino Tenth generation winemaker, Piero is Full Professor of Business Management at the University, author of numerous international scientific publications on management topics. His professional and entrepreneurial profile is doubly linked to the artistic one which takes the form of the fields of drawing and painting, fiction and poetry. From 2011 to today he has in fact published two novels, Umano Errare and Giro di Vite and two collections of poems, All'origine dei sensi and Frammenti, the latter in the form of an artist's book. With his paintings he has made numerous solo and group exhibitions in Italy and abroad and many of his works are present in national and international collections. Since May 2015 he has been president of the Italian Quality Wine Institute Grandi Marchi. To learn more about the estate visit: mastroberardino.com/la-storia/ More about the host Marc Millon: Marc Millon, VIA Italian Wine Ambassador 2021, has been travelling, eating, drinking, learning and writing about wine, food and travel for nearly 40 years.

Welcome to episode 1303, another episode of “On The Road Edition”, hosted by Stevie Kim. In this episode Stevie is in Castello della Sala (Part of the Antinori Group) in Umbria continuing her conversation with Massimiliano Pasquini, general manager. Today’s episode is part 2 of 2. More about today’s winery Castello della Sala is located in Umbria, a short distance from the border with Tuscany, about 18 kilometers from the historic city of Orvieto. The lands of the Castle, an imposing medieval manor house, extend for 600 hectares, of which 200 hectares are planted with vines, halfway between the Paglia river and the summit of Monte Nibbio. The Castello della Sala was built in 1350 for Angelo Monaldeschi della Vipera, whose family had arrived in Italy following Charlemagne in the 9th century. From 1300 the members of the family opposed each other for the control of Orvieto, achieved in 1437 by Gentile, nephew of Angelo dei Monaldeschi della Vipera and dictator of the city for about a decade. After Gentile's death in 1466, a serene season was inaugurated at the castle crowned by the peacemaking marriage between Pietro Antonio della Vipera, Gentile's son, and his cousin Giovanna Monaldeschi della Cervara. The 200 hectares of vineyards, cultivated with traditional varieties such as Procanico and Grechetto, but also with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Sèmillon, Pinot Blanc, Viognier and a small amount of Traminer and Riesling, are located at an altitude of 220 - 470 meters sea level. That of Castello della Sala is an area highly suited to the production of whites with one exception: Pinot Noir, finds in this terroir the ideal conditions to express itself at its best. The area is characterized by a clayey, calcareous soil, rich in fossil shells, with vineyards well exposed to the sunrise and with excellent temperature ranges.

Its landscape is a rolling succession of mountains, hills and upland plains divided by rivers and covered with lush vegetation. The identity of Terredora di Paolo wines is that of being “a precious fruit of nature worked by skillful hands”. Terredora di Paolo’s vineyards exploit volcanic soils rich in limestone and clay and enjoy south-facing exposure with an excellent microclimate on breezy hills (400-650 meters above sea level). With approximately 3,500 vines per hectare grown with the traditional Guyot training system, annual production is around 60 hectoliters/hectare. The grapes are harvested by hand and placed in small baskets with a minimal time span between destemming the grapes before sending them to the wine press. The native white grapes grown are Greco, Fiano, Falanghina, while the red grapes are Aglianico and Piedirosso.

If you want to learn more about Renee, you can by visiting: Website: winebyrenee.com Instagram: @wine.by.renee Facebook: Renée Sferrazza Linkedin: Renée Sferrazza About today’s guest producer: Giovanna Caruso EXPORT MANAGER AT CARUSO & MININI Giovanna was born in 1988 in a family of wine growers and she chose to be part of the team after some experiences outside Sicily. Professionally, she is a lawyer. She graduated Law school in Pavia (North of Italy) in 2013. Three years later, she attended Law school at the Universidad Francisco de Vitoria in Madrid. In 2016 she officially became a lawyer and started to work as a legal consultant in the winery. But she soon realized that her true vocation was to pass on her family's passion, history and tradition. So, she decided to set aside civil and penal codes and devote herself entirely to the family business. She is today part of Donne del Vino (Women of Wine) an association that brings together women from all over the world, producers, sommeliers, journalists and restaurateurs united by their passion for wine. The wine industry has always been men-oriented and only nowadays it is opening more and more to women: women's influence changed the business. Women globalized the market, redefined the trading relations and represent the fundamentals of this business. She is also involved in the Board of Directors of Assovini Sicilia, an association of Sicilian winemakers that brings together over 91 wine companies to promote the quality of Sicilian wine around the world. What links the members is love and passion for Sicily and an awareness that the Sicilian wine territories represent unique value in the Italian, European and international wine markets. Today Giovanna leads the family winery, the Caruso & Minini, together with her sister Rosanna and her husband Andrea representing the fourth generation. The three of them certainly have a focus on sustainability, both environmental -with reference to the use of clean energy during the winemaking processes - and social, having started a collaboration a few months ago with an ONLUS Laboratorio Zanzara (laboratoriozanzara.it) which has been in charge of the restyling of all labels and winery The three of them certainly have a focus on image.

Welcome to Episode 1289 in which Marc Millon interviews Silvia Fonzone of the Fonzone Winery in Irpinia. More about the Fonzone Winery: The Fonzone Caccese estate is located in Paternopoli, one of the seventeen municipalities of the Taurasi DOCG area, in the province of Avellino. The company boasts over twelve hectares of Aglianico, out of which the following wines are produced: Mattoda’ Irpinia DOC Campi Taurasini and Scorzagalline Taurasi DOCG Riserva made with the grapes coming from the highest portion of the vineyard. Furthermore, the vineyards of Falanghina, destined for the production of the Irpinia Falanghina DOC Le Mattine, complete the vineyard area of the estate. The hill where the company estate extends, just outside the town, is located in the “Campi Taurasini” sub-area, and is surrounded by the municipalities of Villamaina, Castelfranci and Gesualdo, whose castle was inhabited by a branch of the Caccese family, from 1856 to 1980. The vineyards extend on both sides of the hill, benefiting from multiple exposures and an altitude ranging from 360 m to 430 m / above sea level. The hill includes both clayey – calcareous soils and looser textured soils, of clear sedimentary origin, and is surrounded by the Fredane and Ifalco streams, which clearly influence the microclimate of the entire area. Furthermore, given the proximity to Vesuvius as the crow flies, the first two layers of the soil have volcanic dust, deposit of the eruptions that took place over the centuries.

He fell madly in love with it, so much so that he decided to start a new adventure here, giving birth to one of the most fascinating wineries in the area. In Noto, in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, on the rocks and beaches of the southernmost strip of land, mound after mound, Antonio Moretti Cuseri manages to put together a property of about 250 hectares acquiring them from more than fifty different landowners. The heart is Maccari, where the vineyards that overlook the Vendicari Natural Oasis There are about 60 hectares under vine exclusively relying on the head-trained system, an ancient process brought over by the first Greek colonists; it is very costly to manage but is well suited to the warm climate of southeastern Sicily. The bunches of grapes are protected by the leaves, which limit the oxidation of polyphenolic and aromatic substances. At the same time, the leaves are exposed to the sun's rays, allowing for excellent photosynthesis. Antonio Moretti Cuseri also chose this system because of the way it allows for perfect ventilation, how it offers the maximum amount of sunlight during daytime hours.
