VERONA, Italy, Feb. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The prestigious Enozioni a Milano awards, presented annually by Association Italiana Sommelier Lombardia, have announced their 2025 honorees: Italian Wine Podcast founder Stevie Kim, restaurateur Cesare Battisti, and winemaker Mattia Vezzola. This year's awards shine a spotlight on individuals whose unique contributions have shaped the world of wine and gastronomy, honoring their efforts in education, communication, and enological excellence.
The prestigious award recognizes Stevie Kim's contribution as a trailblazer in wine communication and promotion, as the driving force behind the Italian Wine Podcast, Mamma Jumbo Shrimp, and numerous other initiatives aimed at making Italian wine more accessible to a global audience. In particular, the award recognizes her unorthodox approach which has redefined how Italian wine is shared and understood internationally.
"Receiving this award is truly special," said Stevie Kim. "My work has never followed the conventional path and, at times, that has made it difficult for some in the wine industry to fully understand it. But my goal has always been to make Italian wine more engaging, more inclusive, and more accessible. This award is a testament not just to my work, but to my incredible team, who deserve this recognition just as much as I do — if not more."
Founded in 2018, Enozioni a Milano was established by AIS Lombardia to recognize individuals who have made an exceptional impact on the wine and gastronomy industries. Each year, the awards are centered around a different theme, celebrating those who, through their personal and professional dedication, elevate the culture of wine and food. The award itself is a custom-designed sculpture by Tuscan artist Sandro Granucci, symbolizing the deep connection between tradition and innovation.
The awards ceremony, hosted at The Westin Palace in Milan, is a key annual gathering for wine professionals and enthusiasts. Beyond the award ceremony, the event features exclusive masterclasses, tastings, and discussions, offering a platform to explore trends and challenges in the wine and gastronomy industries. This year's edition further reinforces AIS Lombardia's commitment to honoring those who push the boundaries of culinary and wine culture.
