South Tyrol Wine Culture Award to Daniele Cernilli

Yesterday the Alto Adige Wine Consortium presented the Wine Culture Award to director Daniele Cernilli. "A true ambassador of South Tyrolean wine culture who for more than 30 years has been recounting our territory with dedication and passion and who was among the first to recognize its enormous winemaking potential."

This is a special edition of the 2022 Award for South Tyrolean wine culture, an award that the South Tyrolean Wine Consortium has been giving out for nearly two decades to companies and people who have distinguished themselves in a special way in the field of wine and wine culture in the region. In fact, this year Daniele Cernilli, a professional journalist who is now editor-in-chief of the wine publication DoctorWine as well as editor of the publication's Essential Guide to Italian Wine was awarded this prestigious prize.

"We are honored," says Eduard Bernhart, Director of the Consorzio Vini Alto Adige, "to bestow an award that is so significant for us on a journalist of the highest caliber, who for more than thirty years has been reporting with dedication and passion on our wine-growing area and who was among the first to recognize its enormous oenological potential. In fact, this is the spirit that has always animated the Award for Wine Culture in Alto Adige, that is, to celebrate people or realities that have been able to offer with their work a significant contribution to the wine culture of our territory, living it firsthand or working to transmit it to others. Cernilli's work of popularization in this sense has always been maximal, as he has spent his career telling about the different facets of our territory, its different cultural contaminations and our wines."
