The 55th Edition of the Vinitaly fair kicks off April 2nd in Verona with not a single dull moment to be had between the featured exhibitors, wines, and events. While there are many wines to taste, the wine2digital team made sure there are exciting master classes for participants, spanning various topics with prominent speakers from the Italian wine world.
The schedule of master classes starts strong with the Vinitaly International Academy Flagship Course, which kicks off the Vinitaly marathon. Prospective Italian Wine Ambassadors will dive into the diversity of Italian grape varietals and winemaking styles through immersive master classes with consortiums like Montefalco, Verdicchio Castelli di Jesi, and Orvieto.
VIA sets the stage for the wide variety of master classes taking place during Vinitaly. The topics are thought-provoking and unique, ranging from sustainability to iconic women leading the Italian sparkling wine sector to exploring wine through the lens of art.
For those curious to dive into specific vintages, there will be opportunities to explore the fantastic vintages of Amarone della Valpolicella Classico with Bertani or the 2016 vintage year for Tuscan wines, led by MW Sarah Heller and CEO of Castello di Volpaia, Nicolò Mascheroni Stianti. Heller will also host a visual tasting of iconic Italian wines, a class combining her talent as an artist with her exceptional knowledge of Italian wine.
Vinitaly visitors will also have the opportunity to acquire tickets to master classes on crucial topics led by trailblazers in the industry. For example, Wine Spectator’s Alison Napjus will lead a fascinating seminar exploring the diversity of South African wines.
These are only a few major highlights. Vinitaly’s official website has all the master classes listed so that guests can plan. Tickets are going fast: apply now and secure your place!
