WATCH INTRO HERE

A NEW LANGUAGE TO NARRATE (AND ENJOY) FINE WINES

For the CATCH THE 22 Collection by the Italian Wine Crypto Bank, internationally acclaimed wine expert and educator Filippo Bartolotta selects extraordinary wines for a series of exceptional NFTs with the aim of contributing to invent a new language to narrate the wine. This revolutionary quest starts from the artistic visual perspective: Bartolotta teams with the Paris based director Lisa Paclet who signs the digital artworks of the NFTs created by a synesthesiac approach.

Either the NFT is linked to a single wine from one winery or to the collective expressions of a new vintage for a wine, however, the language of the artist is only the starting point: Bartolotta starts the narration from the choice of the wine, the wineries or the vintages, all selected on the basis of the great quality and rarity of the products as well as for their ability to carry messages that go well beyond the organoleptic and gustatory experience.

The FILIPPO BARTOLOTTA ✕ THE CATCH THE 22 series also introduce tailor-made NFTs of a new generation, where the vision of the artist is still central, but the narration of the expert has similar importance and is recorded and usable as part of the utilities of the NFT.

The utilities of these NFTs will create a unique antecedent because highlight how these digital collectables are an exceptional tool to narrate the wine in general.
Besides containing the key that entitles its holder to claim bottles of very special wines selected by Bartolotta, the utilities will list benefits that will last in the time, including exclusive distance – tastings with samples of wines shipped everywhere in the world, personalised access to Bartolotta in one-to-one live video sessions and purchase options on the future vintages of the wine.

Filippo Bartolotta

THE SOMMELIER OF THE “STARS”

The “Sommelier of the Stars”, indeed during his extensive career Filippo Bartolotta also earned this title, because he guided celebrities to the understanding of great Italian wines, including the Obamas (at a memorable dinner by Massimo Bottura), Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson. However, as one of the most talented Italian fine wines “evangelists”, Filippo is known for the enthusiasm and the competence he pours when he introduces people to that word, no matter who they are. Sommelier, wine judge, teacher, writer: Filippo has worked for Decanter, Espresso Italian Wine Guide, Gazzetta Gastronomica, as well as University of Siena, N.Y.U., the Politecnico of Milan, the Bocconi University of Milan, the Alma Graduate School University of Bologna. He has been involved in events at the Metropolitan Museum of New York, the National Gallery and Tate Modern in London, the Assemblée National in Paris, and in the White House.
Filippo continues to cultivate his knowledge by tasting several thousand wines each year and accepting invitations to visit winemakers in their cellars for site visits and to evaluate the current and historic vintages. For this reason and for his unique methods and tasting style, the Italian Wine Crypto Bank proposed him to direct a series of NFTs linked to extraordinary wines – authentic stars of the Italian oenology – with unique utilities for their holders. Once again, although for a different reason, with these NFTs Filippo deserves his title of Sommelier of the Stars.
