Ep. 1792 Gregorio Ferro Of Scarpa | Slow Wine 2023

Welcome to Episode 1791, where we present the session recordings from the wine2wine Business Forum 2023. In today's episode, we delve into ‘Italian Fine Wine in Sweden - Examples from a Wine Collectors’ Club’' presented by Niklas Bergqvist IWE, moderated by Alessandra Angelini 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. Abstract: Vinkällaren Grappe is Sweden’s oldest and largest club for wine collectors, with more than 1,500 members. Founded in 1986 and situated in the heart of Stockholm, it cares for its members’ collections in its climate-controlled cellar vaults. The clientele is mainly private collectors, but also corporate members. Besides storing their bottles under suitable conditions, it offers a database overview of the collection that is linked to Liv-Ex data for market value. By looking at the evolution of the thousands of bottles that make up the collective inventory of the Club, Niklas Bergqvist will paint a picture of how the Swedish interest in Italian Fine Wine has changed over the years. Focusing on 2008, 2018 and 2023 he will first investigate how Italian wine has performed in relation to wines from other countries in terms of both volume and value. Afterwards, the evolution of the relative importance between the different regions and origins within Italy in the same years will be explored. Finally, there will be a brief overview of which options for sourcing wines are open to wine collectors in the Swedish monopoly-based wine market. More about today’s presenter: Niklas Bergqvist started out in the kitchens of various restaurants in Stockholm, Sweden. A deep interest in wine drove him to take a sommelier course to understand the concepts of matching wine and food. After a serious skiing accident that left him unable to walk due to a badly broken leg, he used his rehabilitation time focusing on the WSET Diploma; he finished the programme as the best Continental European student in 2012. Since then he has been working with wine full time as head sommelier in a private wine club for wine collectors. Bergqvist is also a WSET educator and Italian Wine Expert through the Vinitaly International Academy.

Today’s episode features an Instalive throwback during Christmas holiday, featuring José Rallo from Donnafugata winery Passito wines represent a niche production in the Italian wine sector, they are often consumed only on special occasions or during family meals when they are typically combined with the dessert course. Seven women producers from all over Italy will join us for this series, to discuss their Passito wines and recommend the perfect pairing with a typical Christmas dish from their region, sharing personal memories linked to the Christmas holidays and wine.

Ep. 1783 Christmas Instalive Passito Wines With José Rallo| On The Road With Stevie Kim

The Italian Wine Podcast began as a storytelling project dedicated to the Italian wine world. It started in March 2017 in the lead-up to major Italian wine events: OperaWine and Vinitaly, and has since become an award-winning show, recognized as one of the most frequently listened-to wine podcasts out there. Italy has more native grape varieties concentrated within its borders than any other country in the world, and Italian wine and grape diversity is a story worth telling. Meanwhile, the popularity of Italian wine continues to grow on an international scale, so, despite our name, our shows are equally geared towards the international wine community. The Italian Wine Podcast aims to inform, educate, and entertain fans through engaging conversations with producers, experts, and personalities of the Italian and international wine scene.
