The Italian Wine Scholar™ education program is a course designed to provide committed students of wine with the most comprehensive specialisation study program on Italian wine bar none. Fabulous study materials and superb tastings await all students!
The programme was created by native Italian, Maurizio Broggi, DWS, FWS with the support of the Italian wine DOC/G consortia. The Italian Wine Scholar™ study program mirrors the unparalleled level of depth, accuracy, detail and academic rigor offered by the acclaimed French Wine Scholar™ and Spanish Wine Scholar™ programmes. Like FWS and SWS, the Italian Wine Scholar™ study and certification program also confers a post-nominal to wine professionals and enthusiasts who successfully pass the certification exams (Ex: John Smith, IWS).
The Italian Wine Scholar course is composed of two separate units:
Unit 1: The Wines of Northern Italy
Unit 2: The Wines of Central & Southern Italy
There will be two separate study manuals and two separate exams. The Italian Wine Scholar™ credential/pin is based on the final composite score (Unit 1&2). This format makes it much easier to retain information and to pass the exam. Students register and pay for each unit separately.
WHO SHOULD CONSIDER STUDYING THE IWS COURSE?
-IWS is designed to test for proficiency in ALL the wines and wine regions of Italy; perfect for those who relish a challenge!
-IWS is ideal for those currently studying or completed WSET Level 3 and Level 4 Diploma as an ideal supplement/extention
-IWS is also ideal for sommeliers, importers and distributors and for those who hold an enthusiastic and specific interest in the Italian wine industry
No previous experience of Wine Tasting is necessary to register on this course but we strongly recommend that you have a passion for, or professional interest in, Italian wine; that will be more important!
COURSE FORMAT:
Sundays 12th, 19th and 26th January, and 2nd and 9th February.
-The Italian Wine Scholar™ Unit 1 curriculum is based around a course which is taught on 1 day a week for 4 weeks (usually connsecutive Saturdays or Sundays)
-There is a further 5th day which is a final revision session followed by the examination
-Typically you will taste 14-18 wines each day
-You will need to complete both Unit 1 and Unit 2 before you are awarded with the qualification, but you can complete them in any order (i.e you don't need to do Unit 1 before Unit 2)
