Ep. 2039 Salvatore Avallone, Villa Matilde | Wine, Food & Travel With Marc Millon Aug 06, 2024

Show notes

Welcome to episode 2039 of the Italian Wine Podcast, Wine, Food & Travel With Marc Millon. Today, he is interviewing Salvatore Avallone of Villa Matilde

More about today’s winery:

In the 1960s, Francesco Paolo Avallone, a lawyer with a personal passion for ancient wines, read about 'Falernum' wine by ancient Roman politician Plinius and the ancient Roman poets Vergilius and Marziale. Intrigued by the Horace's poems, he decided to revive the legendary wine that disappeared at the beginning of the last century. Believing in the potential of this land, he started viticulture to revive the high quality wines of 2000 years ago and founded Villa Matilde, then "Villa Matilde Avallone".

The characteristics of ancient Falerno wines: rich, powerful and fiery. The most famous wine in classical literature came back to life in the 1970s in the vineyards of Villa Matilde, which stretches across the hills on the slopes of Mount Roccamonfina.

Today, the winery has been taken over by Francesco Paolo's son Salvatore and daughter Maria-Ida: a new chapter in which Villa Matilde, born from the land of Falerno, tells the identity of Campania, a rich land called "Campania Felix" in ancient Rome.

Ep. 2037 Giulia Stocchetti interviews Denis Salimzianov | The Next Generation Aug 04, 2024

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 2037 in which host Giulia Stocchetti interviews Denis Salimzianov. In this episode, Denis talks about Auyl restaurant, where he works as sommelier, and, being a vascular surgeon, he gives us some useful tips to live an healthy life enjoying wine responsibly.

More about today’s guest

He is 29 years old, and this is the story of how a practicing vascular surgeon from Moscow became a professional sommelier after moving to Kazakhstan. Wine had always been his second passion. Amateur wine master classes, tastings, his favorite bar ("Bigati bar"), and wine shop ("Drinx") were a significant part of his life as soon as he took off his medical gown and left the hospital. But it was in Almaty that this passion transformed into a profession. Unable to continue working as a doctor legally in Kazakhstan, he took a job as a waiter, like many others, to earn a living. Driven by a desire for further development, he met his future wine mentor, Artem Lebedev, who ignited his love for Italy and its wines. His trained mind, memory, and perseverance allowed him to achieve remarkable results in a short time. In just four months, he became a Vinitaly Maestro, and now he is preparing for the next stage—becoming an ambassador.

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 2033, where we present the session recordings from the wine2wine Business Forum 2023. In today's episode, we delve into- How to make more money from your wine with Robert Joseph, Dominga Cotarella.

Italian Wine Podcast is proud to be a media partner of wine2wine Business Forum and we are pleased to present this series of market focus sessions, recorded during the Forum held in Verona in November 2023.

wine2wine Business Forum is an international wine business event, held annually in Verona, Italy since 2014. The event is a key annual reference point for wine producers and wine professionals from around the world, providing an opportunity to network, develop and expand their wine business worldwide.

About the session:

Some of the finest wines sell for very high prices. Many don’t. Too many producers struggle financially, despite the efforts they put into the quality of their wine and the way they communicate.

Former wine critic and wine competition organiser, Robert Joseph, who is both a wine industry analyst - for Meininger’s International - a consultant - for companies and regions - and a successful wine producer - le Grand Noir - addresses this vital topic and offers some practical solutions.
