Following on from the huge success of the first edition of the Vinhood Academy, VINHOOD’s digital introductory wine course, we are delighted to officially announce that we will be starting another course on Wednesday 23 September 2020.
As one of its new features, we will be joined by a very special person: Luciano Di Marco, a contestant from the Masterchef Italia 9 Talent Show.
THE WINES UP FOR TASTING
Once again, we wanted to outdo ourselves in selecting the wines that will be part of the Academy. We would also like to stress that the wineries taking part have been chosen based on their desire to make high-quality, environmentally-friendly products.
Here are all six bottles in the Wine Box:
– Moscato di Terracina DOC Secco Oppidum, Cantina Sant’Andrea
– Gavi DOCG Etichetta Bianca, La Scolca
– Millesimato Trento DOC, Altemasi
– Nebbiolo Langhe DOC, Vajra
– Pithos Rosso Vittoria DOC, COS
– Recioto della Valpolicella, Bertani
THE PRODUCERS WHO WILL TAKE PART IN THE LESSONS
At the end of certain lessons, we will have the great pleasure of welcoming the producers behind the wines that will be up for tasting.
Of course, we will not reveal them all now, but just to give you a little taste, we will be joined by Chiara Soldati, the producer and owner of the La Scolca winery.
Chiara is not only one of the most well-known businesswomen in the wine sector in Italy, but she is also a real force of nature.
Committed to social issues and a winner of the “Woman of the Year” award in 2008, she is also the granddaughter of the writer, Mario Soldati.
It will be a real honor to meet her and to interview her in person!

Let's start with what might seem an obvious one, but as the Latins used to say "repetita iuvant" (repeated things help) and so, do we all know what DOC and DOCG are?
When a sparkling wine makes you feel so good that you forget that you have no idea what you’re going to do on New Year’s Eve. And New Year’s Eve is tomorrow.
Sometimes, in life, who dares wins. A life lesson we can learn from Cantina Bressan, and its Carat, a #Profound orange wine so out-of-the-ordinary that it reminds me of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody.
