Do you remember Vitae? It's the official wine guide of AIS, entirely dedicated to Italian wines. Finally, the new edition: Vitae 2018 is available. I took part in the official launch in Milan, after Autochtona and Bottiglie Aperte. The presentation event is one of my favorite wine events! If you lost my Instagram Stories, I'm here to give you more details about the new edition and how the official launch was. Are you ready? Let's start!

@winerylovers: 3rd best wine account on Instagram
Do you know the story of Winery Lovers? Winery Lovers was born on 28th of January 2016 on Instagram. You probably already read on the About me page, that I graduated in Engineering of Computing Systems from Politecnico of Milano. But I have one greater passion: wine. This is the reason why I created Winery Lovers. I've always put the community at the center, sharing the best pics that tagged #winerylovers. The beauty of wine is that you never stop learning about it. The number of wines around the world is countless! And I like that you can share your personal discoveries in the wine trade with the other "winery lovers".
The Grand Wine Tour: when luxury meets wine
What was the last wine tour in which you took part? A wine tour is an outstanding experience. Personally, to understand the different realities around wine I prefer this approach than the fairs. Of course, a wine event such as Autochtona or Bottiglie Aperte allows you to discover several wines in just an hour. But the winemaker has only a few minutes to get you to understand his winery, his vineyards, his wine philosophy and his wines. It's a hard task! If you take part in a wine tour, you can really immerse yourself in the experience in real time and not just in your mind. What do you think about this? On Saturday, 16th of December I'll take part in the first Luxury Day Tour organized by The Grand Wine Tour. I'm really excited about this opportunity!
Autochtona 2017: discovering the indigenous grapes
Do you know how many indigenous grapes there are in Italy? It's an insane number! There are more than 350 varieties. After Bottiglie Aperte, it's time to talk about another great fair. On 16th and 17th of October, Autochtona 2017 took place in Bolzano. It was my first time at this fair. Autochtona is very special because you can discover some interesting indigenous Italian grapes. Now, I want to give you more details about the event and what my new delightful discoveries were. Are you ready? Let's start!
Bottiglie Aperte 2017: more wine business in Milan
What's the international capital of fashion? And of wine? The answer is the same: Milan! Bottiglie Aperte 2017 has just ended, as you may have seen on my Instagram Stories. There was a great change compared to the previous edition. Federico Gordini, the founder, wanted to have a more business-like style for his wine event. The workshops were about some interesting topics. Each Masterclass was better than the ones before. Now, I want to share with you my impressions of the event and the significant wine tastings I went to. Are you ready? Let's start!
