Hi, I'm Vittoria, your IWS-Prep & IWS Educator
Born and raised in Napoli, in the sunny southwest coast of Italy, Vittoria moved to Amsterdam to join Eleanor Wine, a Fine Wine Merchant.
Here, Vittoria gains strong experience in trading
fine wines around the globe and has the chance to visit incredible Chateaux & Wine estates in
Bordeaux, Toscana, Mendoza and Napa Valley.
Recognising that her true passion is wine
education, in 2017 Vittoria obtained the WSET Level 3 Award in Wines and the Court of Master Sommelier – Introductory Certificates in Australia. Back in Amsterdam in 2018, Vittoria founded
the Eleanor Wine Academy, an educational department of Eleanor Wine, with the purpose of creating a community of international wine lovers that at the end of each course will get deeper knowledge about wine but also will make new friends. Since then, Vittoria is the head of the Eleanor Wine Academy.
Vittoria is also a Langhe Wines Ambassador, a Wine Consultant and since late 2022, IWS certified with highest honors. She can finally fully focus on her specialty: the wines of Italy!
