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!

Aroma, perfume and bouquet seem synonymous, but in reality there are subtle but substantial differences. Let us learn to classify the origin of odours in wine.
An Aglianico that does not go unnoticed... especially on the purple smiles of those who drink it! The classic red that leaves its mark ... just like Zorro!
A plunge into the sea in Versilia to discover Lorenzo Svetlich’s Vermentino. A wine with such a strong sapid aroma that you want to lift your glass to your ear and listen for the sound of the sea.
