The future of Italian wine tourism today hinges on the ability to combine passion and human connection with a solid economic vision.
On Wednesday, February 4th, within the setting of the Hospitality Fair in Riva del Garda, we celebrated this vision by awarding Elise Hütterer, Hospitality Manager of Tenuta Manincor, as Best Wine Hospitality Manager.
As Direct From Italy, together with our friends at Wine Tourism Hub, we have chosen to present the Best Wine Hospitality Manager award to Elise Hütterer, Hospitality Manager of Tenuta Manincor.
This choice was made because her fantastic team at Tenuta Manincor embodies exactly what we believe is necessary today: the ability to preserve the soul of the story of an iconic estate, while projecting it onto the world stage with impeccable technical professionalism.
Manincor: enhancing the value of every single bottle
Tenuta Manincor’s results confirm that organization does not diminish warmth but rather multiplies value: thanks to a strategic management of hospitality, the Manincor team has tripled sales and quadrupled their overall value.
This is proof that when hospitality is approached with professional methodology and tools, the bond formed in the cellar does not end with a toast, but transforms into a lasting relationship capable of crossing every customs border.
"Simplifying bureaucracy to grow"
Upon receiving the award, Elise highlighted a crucial point for every manager in the sector: the importance of having tools that free up precious time by eliminating the anxiety of bureaucracy.
“Direct From Italy’s software is a real help for the Manincor team because it has made direct international sales much simpler,” she stated. “Now we can work better with our international clients and save time. The software helps us manage customs procedures professionally and automatically. An example? Germany. Even though the excise duty on still wines is zero, customs documentation remains mandatory for shipping legally to private individuals. Direct From Italy handles all of this for us.”
The future is Direct-to-Consumer
Congratulations again to Elise Hütterer and the entire team at Tenuta Manincor. Their excellence demonstrates that when passion meets the right technology, foreign markets become a landscape of opportunity.
The future of wine tourism needs professionals capable of uniting corporate vision with human warmth. Manincor and all its employees represent an example to follow.
Indeed, this award is not just a recognition, but the seal on a vision we share: technical professionalism and human warmth.
Congratulations Elise: your excellence demonstrates that there is no conflict between a passion for the land and corporate success, especially when you have the right partner by your side to simplify the journey.
