Welcome to Episode 1746 Stevie Kim moderates Clubhouse’s Ambassadors’ Corner – In this episode, Charlotte Ho interviews Federico Graziani. These sessions are recorded from Clubhouse and replayed here on the Italian Wine Podcast! Listen in on this series as Italian Wine Ambassadors all over the world chat with Stevie and their chosen wine producer. Which producer would you interview if you had your pick? Co-Moderator Charlotte's love for Italy and Italian wines was born during a road trip in Tuscany back in 2012. After that, she visited Italy every year, exploring different regions and their local food and wines. During the COVID-19 pandemic — unable to travel, Charlotte decided to embark on a journey to systematically study and learn about Italian grapes and wines. With a background in Law and Economics, she enrolled in VIA's Italian Wine Maestro course in 2021 and became a VIA IWA the following year. Apart from promoting Italian wines in Hong Kong through volunteering in events and tastings such as “Vino Condiviso”, Charlotte also started a social media account in 2021 dedicated to the sharing and spreading of knowledge and love for Italian wines. You can find her on Instagram: @thosewinemoments Guest Bio Federico Graziani was just fifteen years old when he decided to follow his passion and enrol in his first sommelier course back in 1990. His passion would soon become his vocation, as carved out a living in the world of wine. In 1998, he was awarded the best sommelier in Italy, official recognition that offered him the opportunity to work alongside Gualtiero Marchesi, Stefano Cavallini, Bruno Loubet, Carlo Cracco, Aimo and Nadia Moroni.
