A CONVERSATION WITH NICOLAS MANFREDINI, FOUNDER AND CEO OF WINALIST

EXPLORE A WINE-CENTRIC JOURNEY THROUGH THE LENS OF TECHNOLOGY AND PASSION WITH NICOLAS MANFREDINI, A LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS' PREMIUM WINE & SPIRITS BRANDS BOARD ADVISOR AND THE VISIONARY FOUNDER AND CEO OF WINALIST.COM . A TRAILBLAZER IN THE WINE TOURISM INDUSTRY, NICOLAS SEAMLESSLY BLENDS HIS BACKGROUND IN TECHNOLOGY, A MASTER’S DEGREE IN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS AND MARKETING, AND AN UNWAVERING LOVE FOR WINE AND TRAVEL.

As the architect of Winalist, he has reshaped how wineries across the globe engage with enthusiasts, enhancing their experiences and streamlining operations.

Today, we delve into the tech-infused world of wine tourism, exploring trends, personal passions, and the delicate balance between tradition and innovation.

Luxury Lifestyle Awards: Can you tell us about the inspiration behind founding Winalist.com and the journey of becoming a leading wine tourism booking platform in Europe?

Nicolas Manfredini: The inspiration behind Winalist.com sprung from a personal pain point. I realized there was a gap in the market where wine enthusiasts were seeking to explore the rich and diverse world of wine tourism, yet there wasn’t a dedicated platform to streamline their experiences. I noticed many other wine enthusiasts were eager to explore the vineyards of Europe but lacked a consolidated platform to facilitate their experiences.

Winalist was born from the idea of merging technology with this age-old tradition, offering a seamless, tailored experience for wine aficionados.

Company: Winalist

Website: www.winalist.com/

Address: 44 Espace les Violettes, 51160 Aÿ-Champagne, France

Our journey has been about constant learning, adapting, and above all, listening to both our partner wineries and our users to refine and perfect our platform.

LLA: With a background in technology, how do you see the intersection of tech and wine tourism shaping the industry's future?

NM: Technology is an enabler. It's not about replacing the traditional wine tourism experience but enhancing and personalizing it. From VR vineyard tours to AI-driven personalization for visitors, integrating technology enhances accessibility. I foresee immersive experiences where tourists can delve deep into the history of wine regions, even before setting foot on the vineyard.

Moreover, data analytics will allow wineries to tailor experiences to visitors, ensuring every tour or tasting is memorable and unique.

LLA: Winalist has assisted over 1200 wineries worldwide. How does the platform contribute to enhancing customer experiences in wine tourism?

NM: Winalist endeavors to be a bridge between the enigmatic world of wines and curious explorers. By providing a seamless booking experience, curated lists, and bespoke experiences, we've managed to heighten customer experiences in wine tourism. '

Our platform aids wineries in reaching a wider audience while giving tourists a simple way to explore and book wine experiences, thereby enhancing overall customer satisfaction and increasing accessibility to the wonderful world of wine tourism.

LLA: As a speaker and expert in wine tourism technology, what key insights do you believe are essential for wineries looking to optimize their operations?

NM: It's crucial to understand that the digital age isn't about changing the essence of wine tourism but elevating it. My key insights would be to embrace technology as a tool to tell your story more effectively, understand your audience and use data to refine experiences, and, lastly, collaborate and stay updated with tech trends to ensure you're offering modern yet authentic experiences.

LLA: Beyond the professional realm, what sparked your personal passion for both wine and travel and how does that passion influence your work at Winalist?

NM: My personal passion stems from the narratives that both wine and travel offer. Every bottle of wine carries a story of its origin, its makers, and the land. Travel, similarly, is about experiencing new stories and cultures. Merging these two was a natural fit for me. This passion ensures that Winalist remains storydriven, always aiming to connect people more deeply with the tales behind each wine region and bottle.

LLA: With your extensive travels and expertise in wine tourism, can you recall a particularly memorable winery visit? What made it stand out, and how did it shape your perspective on the intersection of wine, travel, and culture?

NM: One visit that stands out is my trip to a small family-owned winery in Tuscany.

Their dedication, legacy, and palpable connection to the land were awe-inspiring. It wasn't just about the wine but the stories, history, and generations of knowledge. This visit reinforced my belief that wine is not just a beverage but a tapestry of culture, history, and human connection. Also, having grown up in a famous wine region such as Champagne, I try to approach each new region I discover as if I knew nothing, thus helping me to keep learning.

LLA: Given your rich exposure to different wine regions, do you have a favorite wine and food pairing that you discovered during your travels? What elements of that pairing make it special for you?

NM: In the Douro Valley of Portugal, I was introduced to a vintage Port paired with a local blue cheese. The harmony of flavors – the sweet, rich notes of the wine complementing the sharpness of the cheese – was an experience in itself. It's special because it embodies the essence of the region, a perfect symphony of local produce.

LLA: What's on your personal wine destination bucket list? Are there specific regions or wineries you're eager to explore that have been on your radar for a while?

NM: New Zealand's Central Otago is high on my list. Its Pinot Noirs have garnered attention, and I'm eager to delve into its unique terroir. I've also been intrigued by the ancient wine traditions of Georgia and their qvevri wines.

LLA: Beyond the professional landscape, do you have any personal wine rituals or traditions? Whether it's a favorite wine to unwind with or a special occasion wine, we'd love to hear about the more intimate aspects of your relationship with wine.

NM: Again, living in a region like Champagne is a privilege, and opening a bottle of Champagne is not that “ceremonial” anymore! But for special occasions, I savor a tradition of opening a special bottle of wine from my travels, that I don’t specifically know about and make each tasting occasion a learning experience. It's a personal ritual where the wine not only stimulates the palate but also rekindles memories, emotions, and stories from the journey, making each sip a voyage in itself.

LLA: Finally, as a member of the Luxury Lifestyle Awards Advisory Board, specializing in Premium Wine & Spirits Brands, how do you believe your role contributes to recognizing excellence in the wine industry? How does this advisory position align with your passion for wine, travel, and enhancing the overall experience for enthusiasts and connoisseurs?

NM: My role allows me to highlight the nuances and unique offerings in the wine and spirits world. Thanks to our amazing team at Winalist, I bring a lens of not just quality but also the stories, experiences, and cultural significance behind each brand. This aligns perfectly with my passion, as it's all about recognizing and celebrating the rich tapestry that wine and travel offer, and ensuring enthusiasts get a holistic experience.

As we uncork Nicolas Manfredini's insights, we uncover a narrative bridging the digital realm with winemaking traditions. His journey, spanning +1000 wineries, reflects an ever-evolving wine tourism landscape. As a tech expert and wine enthusiast, Nicolas shapes how we savor wines, pouring innovation into every aspect. Cheers to Nicolas Manfredini, the digital architect of wine country revolutions!

INTERVIEW

UNCORKING THE WORLD OF WINE & JOURNALISM: A CONVERSATION WITH

MONIQUE SOLTANI, FOUNDER OF WINE OH! TV

EXPLORE THE CONVERGENCE OF STORYTELLING AND THE ART OF WINE WITH JOURNALIST, WINE ENTHUSIAST, AND LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS'

PREMIUM WINE & SPIRITS BRANDS BOARD ADVISOR, MONIQUE SOLTANI. MONIQUE'S CAREER SEAMLESSLY BLENDS BROADCAST JOURNALISM WITH WINE REPORTING, OFFERING A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE ON LIFESTYLE AND LIBATION.

As an award-winning journalist, Monique highlights her commitment to celebrating excellence in the world of wine. Join us for an exploration of Monique's experiences, from the inception of Wine Oh! TV to her role as a tastemaker shaping the narrative of luxury wines.

Luxury Lifestyle Awards: Can you share a bit about your journey in journalism and how you ventured into the world of wine reporting?

Monique Soltani: I started my career as a broadcast journalist where I got my first job as a TV news anchor and reporter at the NBC affiliate in Pocatello, Idaho. I first learned about wine while I was working in New York in my 20s, and I quickly came to realize in New York City if I could talk about wine, I could have a credible seat at the table. Wine was my throughline to accessing an entirely new world, so I dug in and drank up all the wine knowledge I could find. It was there where my idea for Wine Oh! was born (if only in my mind at the time).

In 2008, I was working for the NBC affiliate in California’s Central Valley. We launched a brand new talk show called Central Valley Today and we had six live segments a day to fill. I started my Wine Oh! segment there as one weekly segment in the hour-long show. I eventually pitched my station on the half-hour version of the show to air once a

Company: Wine Oh! TV

Website: www.wineoh.tv

week on Saturdays. I ended up accepting a job at KPIX in San Francisco and the half-hour version of Wine Oh! was off the table for the time being. I created the television show version of Wine Oh! TV in 2012.

From 2013 - 2018, I formed and executed distribution deals for Wine Oh! TV with Comcast/NBCUniversal, Xumo, TV4, streaming on Hulu, Roku, Amazon Prime Video + International distribution. In that same period, I covered Weather + Wine on The Weather Channel and created two humans at the same time (literally). In June 2023, Wine Oh! TV debuted on broadcast television on CBS Bay Area.

LLA: As an award-winning journalist, what role do you see for storytelling in the realm of wine?

MS: For me, wine and storytelling are one, wine is about people, it’s about community, it’s about coming together.

LLA: With your extensive experience, how do you think the wine industry has evolved over the years, especially in terms of media representation?

MS: When I first started covering wine on television people were hesitant to speak on camera about their wine. At that time, I was the only person showing up with a camera and asking them to talk about it so we were trailblazers in a way.

Now, everyone shows up with an iPhone and people are being recorded all the time, and in the post-Zoom wine tasting world everyone in the wine world is very used to speaking about the wine on camera.

LLA: Beyond your professional life, how do you personally approach choosing a bottle of wine for dinner? Any tips for those who may feel overwhelmed in a wine store?

MS: I always look for quality for value when it comes to picking out a bottle of wine. With that in mind, keep an eye out for lesser-known wine regions.

My advice is always to ask for help. Think of the people who work in the wine store as your best friends when it comes to picking a bottle of wine so ask them!

LLA: What's one memorable story or experience you've had while reporting on wine that has stayed with you?

MS: When someone asks me what’s your favorite bottle of wine I always answer it came from the last person I interviewed.

I fall in love with every person I interview on my show Wine Oh! TV, so every experience is memorable. Everyone’s story is unique and I’m so grateful for anyone who takes the time to share theirs with me.

LLA: Among the many wine regions globally, do you have a personal favorite, and what makes it stand out for you in terms of grape varieties, terroir, or winemaking practices?

MS: Boy, I’m sure in love with Champagne. If these French bubbles could talk they would tell you what we have experienced together. My glittery BFF, how

her effervescence escorted me through all of the ups and downs life has to offer: engagements, weddings, birthdays, creating life, coping with death. Hope, grief, happiness, loneliness, sickness, sadness, success, solitude, all served with a side of Champagne.

I associate Champagne with joy, jubilation, and pure delight. When life delivers us a low-light reel, Champagne serves up the highlights. The best moments were cherished with a bottle of bubbly by my side. A Girlfriend in a glass, a coupe of comfort, a flute filled with a fantasy of a life that flew by in a flash.

On my darkest days, in my loneliest hours, in my weakest state, I somehow managed to muster up the will to keep going. Knowing at the end of each day, I will be rewarded with a glass, a flute, or a coupe, (but never a plastic cup) of the world’s most famous and my absolute favorite sparkling wine.

LLA: With your background in American Studies, do you see any cultural shifts influencing the consumption and appreciation of premium wines and spirits, and how can brands align with these changes?

MS: I think Americans are looking for quality for value. I think if you make a bottle of wine that best reflects your region and your wine style Americans will appreciate it.

“IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME” - FIELD OF DREAMS

LLA: Being appointed to the advisory board for Luxury Lifestyle Awards in the Premium Wine & Spirits Brands category, what motivated you to take on this role, and what do you hope to contribute to the recognition of excellence in this industry?

MS: It’s an honor for me to be asked to be a part of this inspiring and dynamic advisory board.

Wine is about people, it’s about connecting, it’s about how we come together. I believe traveling to different places and meeting different people, connects us through culture, and brings people together.

LLA: As someone deeply involved in both journalism and the wine industry, what do you believe is the most misunderstood aspect of the premium wine and spirits sector that deserves more attention and clarification?

MS: I think making an incredible bottle of wine can be costly, think of real estate, paying a living wage, what role weather plays in wine, and how much wineries are able to produce each year depending on what mother nature delivers, all goes into the pricing of a bottle of wine.

LLA: In your multifaceted career, from broadcast journalism to wine reporting, how do you balance the pursuit of new, exciting stories while still honoring the timeless essence of the wine industry's traditions and heritage?

MS: I don’t chase trends, I honor the industry by sharing their authentic stories. Wine is time in a bottle, and I celebrate the history, tradition, and heritage, of every region.

LLA: Lastly, if you were to pair a wine with a movie or a TV show, what would be your ultimate "sip and watch" combination? Can you share a specific wine and entertainment pairing that, for you, creates the perfect sensory experience?

MS: Well, this is a layup. I would pair any bottle of wine with my show Wine Oh! TV, of course, is the ultimate “sip and watch” combination.

Wine Oh! TV is a fun and informative wine travel show that gets to the heart of every wine region. We are all on a journey and I hope you will join me on mine, bringing people together by breaking bread, opening up a bottle, and connecting through culture.

Thank you, Monique! As we raise our glasses to the delightful conversation, it becomes evident that the world of wine is not just about taste but about the stories it weaves. Cheers to Monique Soltani, a storyteller who uncorks the essence of life in every glass.

INTERVIEW

SAVORING LIFE'S PLEASURES:

A VINOUS EXPEDITION WITH JEFF BURROWS, FOUNDER AT FOOD WINE CLICK!

JOIN US ON A DELIGHTFUL EXPLORATION THROUGH THE DIVERSE REALMS OF FOOD AND WINE WITH JEFF BURROWS, THE SEASONED BLOGGER BEHIND FOOD WINE CLICK! FOR OVER TEN YEARS, JEFF HAS PASSIONATELY DOCUMENTED HIS EVOLVING JOURNEY, SHARING INSIGHTS AND DISCOVERIES IN THE WORLD OF WINE.

As a certified Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET) educator and a distinguished member of Luxury Lifestyle Awards' Premium Wine & Spirits Brands Advisory Board, Jeff offers a unique perspective on the nuances of wine and the art of pairing.

Join us as we uncork the layers of Jeff's vinous adventures, from uncovering hidden gems to exploring the delicate intricacies of food and wine harmony.

Luxury Lifestyle Awards: Holding the WSET Diploma level certification, you are deeply involved in wine education. How did your journey in wine education and blogging begin?

Jeff Burrows: I started my blog back in 2012 with encouragement from a food photography group I was involved with. Over time, I decided I wanted to deepen my wine knowledge, so I started the WSET program, completing my diploma in 2021. Now I am a certified WSET educator and I teach in Minnesota.

LLA: You've served as a judge at various wine competitions; how has this experience influenced your approach to evaluating and appreciating wines? And how do you think this will come in handy as a Luxury Lifestyle Awards board advisor?

JB: In judging during a wine competition, I have found the participation of multiple talented judges in a group allows quick assessment of a wine's qualities. Both competitions and individual, more detailed assessments offer unique

Company: Food Wine Click!

Website: www.foodwineclick.com

advantages in evaluating wines. I hope to bring both experiences to the Luxury Lifestyle Awards program.

LLA: Your blog, Food Wine Click!, covers a variety of topics. How do you personally approach pairing food with spirits or wine when dining at home?

JB: At home, I balance traditional pairings with experimenting with non-traditional combinations. Red wine and fish, sure. White wine with steak, absolutely! In addition, I have the luxury of taking more than a taste of the wine. We enjoy the bottle over dinner and often finish it the next day.

LLA: Splitting your time between Minneapolis and Dijon, how do you observe the wine culture differing between these two locations?

JB: In Minneapolis, we are blessed with many small importers. We have easy access to wines from around the world. However, we see a limited set of wines from any given country. In Dijon, we have easy access to French wines in general and a wealth of opportunities to explore Bourgogne wines. However, getting wine from Argentina is nearly impossible!

LLA: Reflecting on your wine journey, can you share a particularly memorable or transformative wine experience? Whether it's a special bottle, a remarkable wine tasting, or an unexpected discovery, we'd love to hear about a moment that left a lasting impression.

JB: On my first visit to Piemonte, I met a young winemaker, Nicola Oberto of Trediberri. I was so impressed with the wines. I was back visiting Piemonte a few months later. Nicola saw a post of mine on social media and invited me to see him in the vineyard just before harvest.

The warm hospitality of the individual people in the wine industry is one of the most inspiring aspects of wine.

LLA: What's your dream wine destination, and why?

JB: My dream destination is always the next one, a region I haven't visited previously. I love standing where the grapes grow, seeing the sun, feeling the wind and rain, the land. I love meeting the people who are involved in the vineyard and winery. I have many regions I love, it's too hard to pick a favorite. I'm always excited to visit somewhere new.

LLA: If you had the opportunity to experiment with winemaking, is there a specific type of wine you'd love to create, and what characteristics would you aim to achieve? What elements would make your ideal wine unique?

JB: I'd love to start in a lesser-known region with an indigenous grape with a local history. With my interest in sustainability, the vineyard must be organic and biodynamic certified. In the winery, we would approach our winemaking with as little intervention as possible. During maturation, we would use old mature oak or a neutral vessel. I'd love to have the luxury of holding the wine so the wine is truly at its peak at release. My wine would be unique because all this work would still be affordable for adventurous wine enthusiasts willing to explore off the beaten path.

LLA: Your Wine 101 series was inspired by a desire to make wine education accessible. Can you share more about what prompted this initiative, and how you approach introducing people to the world of wine without breaking the bank? What key principles guide your selections for this series?

JB: This initiative started thanks to my adult children, nieces, and nephews. They enjoyed my posts but told me they needed to read about wines they could afford. With this impetus, Wine 101 wines are always under $20 per bottle in the US retail market. Then, the posts are brief; just the facts.

LLA: Your preference leans toward "old world" wines that are food-friendly with higher acidity and less overt oak. Can you delve into what aspects of old-world wines appeal to you, and how these traits enhance the dining experience for you? Additionally, are there specific regions or varietals within the old-world category that embody this style for you?

JB: Personal tastes vary and I respect other choices of wines with food. That said, I do generally prefer wines characterized as food-friendly with higher acidity and less oak influence. Lively acidity in a wine helps refresh the palate after a bite of food. Overt oak flavors can dominate the food flavors. I enjoy robustly flavored wines, I am just a bit more careful with the food served. Grilled meats love a robust wine (with good acidity)!

LLA: If you could have one "wine superpower" – a unique ability related to wine – what would it be? Would it be the talent to instantly identify grape varieties in blind tastings, the ability to travel back in time to historic wine moments, or something entirely different? Share your wine-related superpower dream!

JB: I would love to have the ability to assemble a blend. So many classic wines are blends of different grapes or even different barrels of the same grape. The ability to create a harmonious blend would be really fun. I've only had the opportunity to try this a few times and my results were not promising!

As we conclude our vinous dialogue with Jeff Burrows, we're left with a palate enriched by the notes of his experiences. Jeff's journey is a testament to the boundless joy found in the simple act of savoring life's pleasures. Here's to more delightful pairings and the harmonious interplay between his passions in the ever-expanding world of food and wine!

NAVIGATING THE WORLD OF WINE:

IN CONVERSATION WITH RENOWNED SOMMELIER NELLO GATTI, 'THE AMBASSADOR'

EMBARKING ON A WINE JOURNEY THAT SPANS CONTINENTS AND CULTURES, WE SIT DOWN WITH NELLO GATTI, "THE AMBASSADOR" OF THE WINE WORLD AND DISTINGUISHED MEMBER OF THE LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS' PREMIUM WINE & SPIRITS BRANDS ADVISORY BOARD.

Hailing from Irpinia DOCG, with roots tracing back to Lacryma Christi, and an upbringing in the Lambrusco Valley, Nello's narrative unfolds like a rich blend, reflecting a life marked by global residences, explorations in economics, and a deep connection with the world of wine.

From refined winemaking skills to his nom de guerre, "The Ambassador," Nello's story is one of turbulent reflections and the ever-evolving tapestry of the wine culture.

Luxury Lifestyle Awards: As "The Ambassador," you're known for connecting wine with various subjects. How did you develop this unique approach to promoting a more inclusive wine culture?

Nello Gatti: That comes from merging both my day-by-day duties in the wine industry and all the other aspects. I was nicknamed “The Ambassador” during my old glory days spent in Spain, where I was meant to connect producers to consumers as a salesperson. But time after time, I discovered that it wasn’t just a matter of pricing or trends, as I always preferred to have a more inclusive approach to wine knowledge and let everyone feel welcome in this world.

Consumers or potential consumers come from uncountable different stories and we don’t have to hide all the facts related to an alcoholic beverage, including warnings and problems, but we can strive for better consideration and wider knowledge, so everyone’s contribution might be important to find more interesting a wine story. That’s the main reason why I choose to promote wine-sharing multisided influences.

Company: Nello Gatti, L'AMBASCIATORE

Website: www.lambasciatore.com

LLA: What are some emerging trends or developments in the world of wine that you find particularly interesting or exciting?

NG: Wine follows society and so, a few changes may be connected to each other. As a product, specific topics such as environment, sustainability, and new generation trends seem to be the big changes of the early future, but at the same time law regulations and trade policies are trying to be up to date with our scenario, including certifications, tariffs and monopolies.

As an Italian professional, I find quite interesting all the movement behind non-alcoholic wine and a potential law regulation related to “natural wine”. When outside the country, I love to understand different points of view coming from the market and see how we can improve the Italian wine discovery, while respecting local culture and global needs.

LLA: When assessing wine, which specific elements do you prioritize, and how do you weigh factors such as aroma, flavor, body, and finish in your overall evaluation process?

NG: The approach can drastically change depending on the desired output. I am not that kind of “very strict" rules fan, as I actually prioritize much information behind each label such as area factors, producer history, vintage condition, winemaker’s intention, target market, and all the stories which allowed me to evaluate a glass with full deep knowledge.

So I might be against most of my colleagues, but I am a wine lover who cares more about stories rather than scores. Reasonably, I think that’s one of the few things that might be frustrating for some groups within both producers and potential consumers, but I strongly believe that’s the path to follow, being more students and fewer judges.

Scores and evaluations are important for some markets in terms of sales but we mostly have to improve a global education method which helps producers to be more aware of the market and consumers to be more involved in the wine scene. Nevertheless, don’t forget about wine pairings: today’s globalized cuisine could be an interesting thing to explore and discover some unusual connections.

LLA: For someone exploring the world of wine, what advice would you give in terms of choosing wines, especially when faced with a vast selection?

NG: Do follow your own rules. Of course, never overestimate your own knowledge or feel invincible, but try to connect your experience to people you may find inspirational to this world.

Every day we have many occasions to develop our own understanding, connecting wine to some of the best pleasures we might have in the next days like holidays, dinners out, or a simple friend’s reunion.

A sommelier could be a good advisor so I’d suggest to do care about those who studied, but then it’s up to you to find your own feelings, passion, and desire to discover. We also have plenty of YouTube videos, classes, and private events, which I suggest you try at least once. The only rule is: to keep your brain on while listening. Everyone’s feeling is different, so take the best from the others and develop your own skills. You’ve got the power!

LLA: Having engaged with winemaking, writing, event organization, associations, and even politics, your influence extends across various spheres. How do these different aspects of your life intertwine, and how do they contribute to your approach as "The Ambassador" of the wine world?

NG: I consider myself just a good listener and my main goal is to be a loyal bridge between professionals and those who didn’t get into the wine industry as a “way of life”. The global community is what I care about the most and to reach a wider audience you need to involve and encourage people to be part of the discussion.

Wine gives everyone the opportunity to feel something strictly personal, so no one’s got the real solution, but we can all be part of a shared experience where leaders pull out all the technical aspects and all the others will enrich the overall feedback. Sharing is caring. Not to forget, wine is not made by the winemakers for themselves, so don’t hesitate to get in touch with them; sharing your points. We need improvements, no more parrots.

LLA: The title "The Ambassador" has a fascinating origin. Can you share more about how this name

came about and how it has shaped your approach to representing wines and winemaking traditions?

NG: I didn’t choose this nickname, I am not that narcissistic. It was a former employer who was attracted by my good manners combined with a faithful desire to get more than expected from that job. Thanks to many people, coming from both inside and outside the wine business, I am more aware of how wine culture can be pushed to a wider society rather than just considering brands, awards, and glory.

I am happy while reading, and writing, and from the past experiences gaining the backbone of my future decisions. I dream of sharing with everyone who feels excluded or unprepared, an opportunity to handle this topic and be gratefully involved.

Like a real Ambassador and acting as a loyal wine communicator, taking care of suggestions and being helpful is my key mission. I just follow a few very simple rules: be real and keep studying, live the present with people you may share something and get educated by the ones who you can read the future. In Italian, I used to say “L’Ambasciatore non porta pena, ma da bere”.

LLA: Despite not coming from a long line of winemakers, you've noted the democratic movement in the wine world. How do you perceive the role of wine in fostering inclusivity and community, and what experiences have reinforced this belief during your decade-long journey among wineries, restaurants, and importers?

NG: My multi-sided experiences went towards different points of view, from winemakers to consumers, from importers to restaurants.

As a result, I am able to consider my personal opinion of the entire line coming from the vineyard up to the glass. Today’s community is much bigger than before and as with much of today’s things, we noticed pros and cons.

Social media helps to push an unexpected raise but it also creates some new troubles within the market like fake advisors, lack of regulations, or information given with no control. On the other hand, we are not just Sommeliers who’ve been studying for years who’ve got control of pretty much everything in regards to opinions, as more people are daily jumping into this fascinating world.

Regarding inclusivity, I don’t want to victimize, but please be aware that the wine world has the same problem as society itself, including some very dark clouds I’ll not highlight along these lines. The only solution? Education first, and I am not talking about wine this time.

LLA: As a member of the Advisory Board for Luxury Lifestyle Awards, specializing in Premium Wine & Spirits Brands, how do you envision your role contributing to the recognition and celebration of exceptional wines and spirits on a global stage? What aspects of the industry do you believe are crucial for acknowledging excellence in this category?

NG: It's an amazing opportunity to measure today’s situation. We have to recognize all the changes and challenges coming from all over the world without putting personal opinions on top, as we will be more focused on global solutions. The wine industry nowadays is not only focused on products, as global warming and market effects are both stretching the previous scenario, so it’s a historically important time to realize all the few changes we may consider to guarantee a safe and loyal future for both wine producers and consumers. I am honored to sit down together with some very bright personalities to develop a common path within this category.

LLA: Being a renowned sommelier, how do you approach pairing wines with different types of cuisines, and what considerations do you take into account?

NG: The most valuable expertise will come considering multi-sided approaches, combining your education with chefs, farmers, bartenders, and anyone involved in the food and beverage industry. The source and the origin of an ingredient might be an interesting point to consider when pairing a wine and developing a perfect match between taste and storytelling.

I also use it to connect other topics such as movies, music, or celebrities to have a better understanding and sincere feedback from the client. A simple example? I used to talk about Pavarotti and Giuseppe Verdi while explaining Lambrusco, Lorenzo de Medici when we’re jumping into the Chianti Classico world, Napoleon Bonaparte when we have to discover the wide personalities around Pinot Noir or Il Gattopardo when a Sicilian glass is on the table.

LLA: Beyond the formalities, what's one light-hearted or amusing story from your extensive travels and experiences in the world of wine? Whether it's an unexpected wine pairing or a memorable encounter, we'd love to hear about a moment that brought joy and laughter into your vinous adventures.

NG: Most of our good memories are linked to the people we’ve been with and so I cannot refuse to mention some memories I still keep with myself thanks to those people. Coming from 3 different experiences I’d like to pursue what people like Luca Matarazzo, Roberto Costa, and Luigi Tecce taught me. The first is a recognized and open-minded Sommelier who helped me a lot during my first wine-judging event a few years ago. I’ll never forget the effort and the happiness shared with me in order to improve and adapt my own method.

The second is a world-famous restaurateur who I consider one of the best inspirations within the Hospitality industry. He’s smart, keen on details, and always innovative, merging together hospitality experience in a very polite and collaborative manner.

Last but not least, the wine poet from my hometown, Luigi Tecce. He has no social media and prefers to read Greek literature while developing one of the most outstanding Taurasi which represents a faithful throwback to when wine was a matter of people, not industry. I deeply respect him because we sometimes have very different opinions, but the loyal friendship between us is endorsed thanks to our different points of view which we respect each other’s.

I can also mention a few other people met thanks to social media and events, but would be impolite to the ones I don’t mention, so I am very happy with colleagues when we share ideas and develop a common vision. Communication is not only my point of view but also our efficient point of connection.

As we savor the last drop of insights from Nello Gatti, "The Ambassador," we are reminded that the world of wine is not merely about what's poured into a glass but the stories it encapsulates—the stories of cultural richness, inclusion, and community. Cheers to a life well-paired!
