WE TALK HOW WE EAT. OR HOW WE DRINK.

We want to bring people closer to wine.

Not just those who already juggle grapes and fermentations. All people, even those who do not understand, who pretend to understand something or who would like to know more.

Drinking with us it is easy to become more and more passionate about the culture of wine, acquire new knowledge and discover all the secrets of whites, reds and bubbles!

HOW THE VINOVÉ IDEA IS BORN

When you choose to buy a bottle of wine online, questions arise:

“Who helps me to choose the perfect wine for me in the jungle of wineries, discounts and promotional bottles?

Who tells me the story, the characteristics and the peculiarities of that wine? "

In Vinové you will find the answer: Matteo Circella, the number 1 sommelier in Italy.

Sitting at the table with him and seeing him uncork bottles, observe his gestures and listen to him while he rattles off information, stories and curiosities about the wines he has selected, with simplicity and amidst laughter, is an experience to make your head spin.

And no, not just for the wine :)

Perhaps you too, when you think of the figure of the sommelier, are used to imagining pompous characters, in plaster casts, who - elegant and well-dressed - speak technically and explain wine in a difficult way.

But you haven't met Matteo yet: an easy-going, friendly Rock sommelier who, when he presents you with a bottle of wine, tells you "Let's drink first, then let's talk about it!"

It is time to unhinge the imagination of the "old sommelier", to replace it with a fresher, more modern, younger, more real one.

Thus, Vinové was born.
