Italian Wine Unplugged 2.0 wins prestigious international accolade
New York (PRWEB) July 31, 2023 -- The OIV is an intergovernmental organization established in 1924 in response to the international viticulture crisis. It has 49 member states responsible for 87% of global wine production and works through a network of over 1,000 experts from around the world. Each year, the OIV Award Jury recognizes the best wine-related books published in the previous two years. Italian Wine Unplugged 2.0, published in January 2023, has been recognized in the Wines and Territories category.
Italian Wine Unplugged 2.0 is a labor of love years in the making. The book includes the findings of Professor Attilio Scienza's ground-breaking research into the origins of Italian grapes and their DNA but it is a community effort at heart. Produced and edited by the team behind the Italian Wine Podcast, it harnesses the skills and expertise of the global wine community.
Stevie Kim, founder of the Mamma Jumbo Shrimp brand, said: “The overarching aim of the Mamma Jumbo Shrimp brand is to make complex concepts accessible. With over 600 officially recognized native wine grape varieties, there’s no doubt that the world of Italian wine is complex. But, with the help of a global community of wine experts and ambassadors, we’ve achieved something very special with Italian Wine Unplugged 2.0 and are absolutely thrilled to have received this prestigious award from the OIV, which has been a reference point for international viticulture since the 1930s.”
Contributing author, Professor Attilio Scienza, said: “Italian Wine Unplugged 2.0 represents a benchmark in Italian wine education and already appears on the reading list of many important wine education courses. Our aim was to provide an inspiring and authoritative textbook for anyone interested in the fascinating but complex world of Italian wine, and with this award from the OIV comes official recognition that we have fulfilled that lofty objective.”
