Alessandro Masnaghetti<\/h2>\n

Alessandro Masnaghetti, born in 1962, obtained a degree in Nuclear Engineering, but his passion for wine soon took over, and he started his multifaceted path in the enology world, working as a wine taster, editor, journalist, wine cartographer and mapper, and a popularizer of wines, who\u2019s reputation extends even outside Italy (in 2021, he was named “Person of the Year” by Revue du Vin de France for his comprehensive work with wine and wine culture).
\nHe specializes in Italian and French wine, and has long collaborated with Luigi Veronelli, an undisputed figure in the food and wine sector in Italy. Masnaghetti curated four editions of Veronelli\u2019s Guide Oro – I vini di Veronelli.<\/p>\n

Masnaghetti has worked as a journalist for several national and international newspapers, such as ll Giornale, Vinum-Svizzera, La Revue du Vin de France, and Wine Today.<\/p>\n

In 1996, he became one of the co-founders of the Grand Jury Europ\u00e9en (an association aimed at finding a different method of classifying wine), and in 2001 he featured in the first and second edition of Espresso\u2019s Wine Guide.<\/p>\n

Since 2007, Masnaghetti has given life to the Italian wine regions with his maps and his books, paying homage to the complexity and the beauty of their so called \u201cterroir\u201d. His works, such as Barolo MGA, Barbaresco MGA, and Chianti Classico, are essential for anybody involved in the Italian wine industry, from producers to wine enthusiasts. His work offers a deep view of the roots of Italian wine as well as the Italian wine diversity.<\/p>\n

Masnaghetti\u2019s maps are not just simple geographical drawings, but enological works of art. Every detail has been carefully covered, from the altitude of the vineyards to soil variations.<\/p>\n

In 2014, Wine Spectator nicknamed him \u201cMapman\u201d in a lengthy monographic article, and since then, he has been known as such by enthusiasts from all over the world.<\/p>\n

Since 2015, he has also collaborated with Antonio Galloni on a significant project mapping California and its vineyards.<\/p>\n
