Gossip Wine wins the Young to Young 2023 award

On 5 April 2023, the last day of the 55th Vinitaly in Verona, Gossip Wine received the Young to Young award. It was presented by Paolo Massobrio and Marco Gatti, authors of the ilGolosario guide and creators of the format.

Young to Young brings together winemakers under 40 and young wine communicators: bloggers, wine writers, creators. Three tasting sessions over three days of the fair, nine wineries to tell, and every evening a piece of writing, a photo or a video to publish on your own channels. Each day the ilGolosario team picked the best work.

The Monday 3 April session

Gossip Wine's award was for the second session, with three young producers:

• Naike Bertola, Azienda Pratello – Origine Metodo Ancestrale
• Mattia Ricci, Azienda Ricci Carlo Daniele – the white "Io cammino da solo"
• Tommaso Squarcia, Castello Tricerchi – Brunello di Montalcino

In the citation, Massobrio describes Luciana as a modern "wine trotter" who talks about Italian wine in Brazil, and highlights a simple, direct and precise language, able to capture in a few lines the wines presented and the stories behind them.

Alongside Gossip Wine, the award went to Elisa Teneggi (Golosini) for the Sunday 2 April session and Fabrizio Coraggio (Winebox) for Tuesday 4 April.

What I took home

It was a huge satisfaction, and I am proud to have captured what these young producers bring to their journey. In the room were people able to change the course of their family business: turning it into a sustainable company, building partnerships, using vineyard and cellar techniques in creative ways.

It is the same lens Gossip Wine brings today to every article and every experience: behind a label there are people, choices and places. That is what is worth telling.

The official report of the awards (in Italian) is on ilGolosario.
