Vinitaly International Academy will be back in Verona for its Flagship edition from March 27-31, 2025

The annual Flagship edition of the Vinitaly International Academy's Italian Wine Ambassador course is set to return to Verona from 27-31 March 2025. The event includes four days of tastings, masterclasses and seminars as participants prepare for the grueling exam to become the next certified Italian Wine Ambassador. A total of 11 Official Supporters will be on hand to deliver in-depth masterclasses, while Terra Moretti Holding joins as the program's official Educational Supporter, providing a generous scholarship to one deserving participant.

VERONA, Italy, Feb. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- About 60 participants will gather from across the globe to participate in four days of tastings, masterclasses, and seminars as they prepare for the grueling exam to become a certified Italian Wine Ambassador. As well as a distinguished academic faculty, led by Chief Scientist Professor Attilio Scienza and Sarah Heller MW, a selection of top wine consortia will also be on hand to deliver a series of in-depth masterclasses, focusing on some of Italy's most important wine-producing regions.

These masterclasses provide a unique opportunity for candidates to delve deeper into the intricacies of these appellations and to explore the diverse range of Italian wines with those who know them best.

Giving space and voice to talent, fostering connections between diverse identities, and promoting a global network of qualified ambassadors are goals we share with VIA. Supporting the growth of wine means investing in knowledge, in people, and in a system capable of creating lasting value.

This initiative gives international professionals the chance to deepen their understanding of Collio's winemaking culture and traditions, creating a bridge of knowledge that helps drive the success and appreciation of our labels in global markets. It's an investment in Collio's future, where training Ambassadors—who represent the face of our producers abroad—becomes the key to forging an ever-stronger bond with the world."

Silvano Brescianini, President of the Consorzio per la tutela del Franciacorta, added: "Franciacorta is proud to continue its enthusiastic support for the Vinitaly International Academy's Italian Wine Ambassador Certification Course.

Through this partnership, we are excited to contribute to the ongoing effort to enhance wine education. In our masterclass this year, we look forward to sharing the distinctive characteristics of Franciacorta wines, providing participants with a deeper understanding and appreciation of the skill and passion that go into every bottle."
