I think my love for wine increased when I attended Vinitaly for the first time when I was 17. I saw a beautiful world full of business, appointments , tastings, flavors. So I became a winemaker and I still learn a lot every day from my father, who is a winemaker as well.Since I work in my family-owned winery, of course I don’t operate just in the cellar and in the vineyards, but I manage the winery tours and tasting, and I take care of our foreign customers. I think it is the heterogeneity of this world that makes me love the wine industry.To learn more visit:Facebook www.facebook.com/antichivinai1877/Instagram www.instagram.com/antichivinai1877/Twitter twitter.com/antichivinaiLinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/viviana-gangemi-aa4133a6Website www.antichivinai.it/More about the moderator Stevie Kim:Stevie hosts Clubhouse sessions each week (visit Italian Wine Club & Wine Business on Clubhouse), these recorded sessions are then released on the podcast to immortalize them!
